Improve your self confidence

Thursday 24 September 2009

Everyones confidence can take a bit of a battering when applying for jobs.

Unless you are one of the lucky ones thats able to walk straight into another new job you are going to face rejection at some point. How you handle that can really effect your own personal confidence. Imagine going to each interview feeling like the job was already yours.

Having no doubt in your mind that there is nobody else as good as you for this job. Sounds easy, well it does - but putting it in action can be tough after facing rejection. Here are some tips to get you back to that perfect 'zone' - where you feel at your absolute peek in social confidence.

Socialise
Try and get out as much as possible, meet new people and get into the habit of introducing yourself first. Networking events, training events are good examples - start by telling yourself before you go that you are going to introduce yourself to 3 new people, then 5, then 7, then 10. Just putting this into practice will make you feel more confident and even for the shy type this can be quite difficult or even impossible! - Take small steps and smaller targets if you need to, but coming out at the end of the event, you should feel more equiped to sell yourself at an interview.

Eat Well.
A healthy diet is vital to maintaining a premium level of self confidence - studies have shown that eating poorly shows a lack of self respect, which in turn can effect your own personal confidence. I know myself, after I have eaten a particually heathly meal I talk about it and feel better for it than if I had eaten something unhealthy. As you continue to eat healthy this will come across in your skin and own self - bringing out the best of you.

Excerise.
A healthy body breeds a healthy mind - keeping yourself physically active (2-3 times per week) can really make a difference to your overall well being. Don't over do things, start off gently (if you have'nt been to the gym in a while) and work up to a more intense work out. The feeling of a good workout afterwards makes you less tired over time and gives you a natural energy boost when you need it.
