But with a change in perspective you might find that you turn your job search frustration into job search success. While not likely an easy task to do, with a bit of practice, you too can change your perspective about job searching.In a TED Talk titled Perspective Is Everything, Rory Sutherland explores the difference a change in perspective can makemost notably,how your perspective actually changes your reality. In relation to job searching, this means job seekers need to rebrand unemployment, view it differently, and then own it. Since perspective changes reality, it also changes the value of the things in your life. So, rather than despising job searching, change your perspective to viewa job search assomething of value to get you to your next goal.?Here are a few tip s on how to find job search success by changing your perspective1. Rebrand your job search.Rather than thinking of yourself as unemployed or out of the workforce, rebrand it as a career move or your opportunity to find a path you enjoy. By changing your mindset from the stigmatized unemployed to the choice to make a career move, you rebrand your search and begin to change your perspective.2. Adjust the way you compare your job search.What do you compare your job search to? Do you think of it as a mistake? Do you compare it to failure? When you compare your job search to negative connotations, youre setting yourself up for failure. Rather, focus on job search success by comparing your job search to an adventure, an opportunity for something new, or a problem youve solved in the past.3. Take control.When we feel down it is quite easy to jump on our own pity party train, especially when weve lost our job. Rather than join the party and try to figure out why things are happening to you, think about how you can change your circumstances. Once you take control over the situation and your life, your perspective (and your mood) changes and improves.4. Use your creativity.Even if you arent a creative person, doing something different or more creative will help to change your perspective. Think about the things you are good at and apply them to conducting your job search outside normal parameters. Using different parts of your brain and sparking your creativity will allow you to see things differently.5. Look for hidden value in your search.Finding something of value in an unfortunate circumstance can be hard- sometimes impossible. With a job search, this can hold true for many people. However, finding value in it can help create job search success. When you find value in something, you become invested in it and want ownership, which is exactly what you need in a job search. Find something about your job search that is valuable to you, and youll find that you go from be ing upset to wanting to make a difference.You can find more job search webinars and videos here.Readers, how do you find job search success?
