2. Developing a
Mindset for Success

3. You need something to deal with the stresses
and strains. What can help you, is the way you
approach the process of job hunting: your
mindset.
Your mindset can either help
or counteract you during your
job hunting.
Most graduates need three to nine months to
find a job. In this process, it is very important to
stay motivated if you want to achieve your goal.

4. your resilience to setbacks
your self-esteem
your ability to face challenges
The kind of mindset you have is very important; it
influences a lot of aspects of your life, for example:

5. the growth mindset and the fixed mindset
What does the most recent mindset research teach us?
This research is largely the work of Carol Dweck of
Stanford University.
She made the distinction between two kinds of
mindsets:

6. Within an individual either the growth
mindset or the fixed mindset is
dominant. And the type of mindset that
is dominant affects an individual’s
learning and motivation.

8. The following clip nicely summarizes the
difference between the Growth Mindset & Fixed
Mindset.

9. So how does this mindset research
relate to your job search!?

10. As we know, nowadays it is hard for
graduates to get a job. Consequently you
will get rejected a few times.
How you perceive this failure influences
what you will achieve. imagine you
applied for a job you really liked and you
got rejected.

11. With a fixed mindset you will conclude
you are not good enough for the position.
You will start to feel worthless and you
want to avoid any further failure. You feel
resistance to apply again… and you stop
learning altogether.

12. When you have a growth mindset, you
look at job hunting as a skill that you
can improve. When you get rejected, you
won’t take it very personal.

13. Of course you don’t like the rejection, but
you try to learn from it, you’ll ask for
feedback on why exactly you were not
the right candidate.
You will apply what you learned next time.
Instead of feeling down, you focus on growth
and improvement.

14. So be prepared to go through the
application process time after time,
eventually, after a few rejections, you will
succeed. Don’t take rejections too personal,
even the best candidates can be rejected for
a position, simply because there’s so much
choice for recruiters.
Embrace this challenge and decide to learn
as much as you can.

15. Challenges are what make life
interesting. Overcoming them
is what makes life meaningful.
