Believe in yourself

I was talking to a friend of mine last night.   He was made redundant some weeks ago and since then, of course, he has been job seeking, but unfortunately without much success, although he has had some interviews.

He said ‘I’ve got a job interview tomorrow, but I don’t hold out much hope.   I’ve already been for loads of interviews but at my age I haven’t a lot to offer, and my health’s not that good either’

Now, I must say I agree with him.   With an attitude like that I don’t suppose he will get the job.   So I said to him what I am saying to you

Be positive.   They must have liked something about you otherwise they wouldn’t have given you the interview in the first place.  Smile and let them know you still have plenty to offer.   Think of all the positive things you can bring to the job.   You have excellent experience and a proven track record of success in the past.  

But if you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect them to believe in you?   With the right attitude you have every chance of success - without it, there isn’t a hope!
