Lost my self confidence

I have been out of a job for the past several months. Since then I have been aggressively applying for jobs but have had no luck.

The problem is - I am having to go through a lot to find a job. I had to go through several interviews and either I don't do well due to extreme stress and strain, or even if I ace well, they go for another candidate.

I am dreading interviews and they make me feel depressed in the end. I am losing all hope and have lost my self confidence. Everyone of my friends who have lost jobs were able to find one immediately.

Maybe I am not smart enough or lucky and God doesn't want to help me anymore.

Have confidence on yourself. try mo and more. The day will come you will click.

The same thing happened in my life in my past. But the time came when I clicked.


Always think that " You can win" and "you are the best".


All the best
losing self-confidence and esteem
by: Anonymous

I have the same problem. I have been applying for a job for past 8 months with no luck which has made me run into depression.

Among friends and family I always used to be confident and never used to have any doubt about my employability given my qualifications and presentability, but misfortune with a job has now dragged me to the bottom of my esteem and I don't have a pinch of confidence to go through another round of interviews.

As far as my presentation and confidence at interviews is concerned I have no doubts, as I have evidently impressed panels. After repeated failures contrary to all my expectations as well as the family's and friends' I'm beginning to see myself a failure. this was never what i used to be, so please help me.

Thank you for contacting Positive Personal Growth. Don't give in to despair! When you tell yourself you dread interviews you are making things worse for yourself. Whatever thoughts you have make you the way you are.

Can you start looking upon the interviews as a challenge? When you go for your next interview tell yourself that this Company needs you because you have the right skills to do the job, and are the right person for the job. Believe this with all your heart, and this will give you confidence.

When you go to an interview doubting your ability and telling yourself that there's no way you're going to get this job, this is what you will portray to the interviewer. They want you to show confidence, ambition, inner strength, and you can show all of this when you change what you focus on.

It's not God that doesn't want to help you, it's your own thoughts that prevent you from achieving your goals. Concentrate really hard on staying focused on getting a job.

Choose positive thoughts, always, and get rid of any negative stressful thoughts that come to mind, they serve no purpose and bring you down.

A positive attitude is vital for you, and I truly hope you can bring this into all areas of your daily life. When you have a positive attitude you will be much stronger and find you can cope more easily.

Good luck with your job search.

Love
Kay
