Comment by Laura Murray on April 25, 2013 at 11:32am: Good point Jeff, lots to think @ - mainly organizing things...

Comment by Jeff Beaudin on April 25, 2013 at 11:29am: Laura,

Organizing is a passion, eh? Me too. For some of us it's simply, in our mind, the best way to bring order (and results) out of chaos. Think broadly. First, do you think you'd prefer organizing people, things, plans? A TON of applications here!

Comment by Laura Murray on April 25, 2013 at 10:52am: What kind of business can I start using my # 1 passion - organizing. I love everything about it. I haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up and its so frustrating, but I have narrowed it down to this and know that I obsess over organizing.... any ideas?

Comment by Jason V on October 7, 2012 at 11:01pm: I fully support this process and Deb as a guide / coach. It's a tough thing to really hash out and then come out the other side feeling confident. Each time I go through this with more experiences and wins/failures I feel like I get somewhat closer. :)

Comment by Deb Ingino on August 13, 2012 at 6:44pm: Arlena self esteem is something many of us need more of.

My experience is that the more time we can spend operating in our strengths, even if the only opportunity we have to use them is through volunteering. For example, are you gifted working with animals? Volunteer once a week at an animal shelter. Do you have a passion for teaching? Go to the public library and offer to teach a course. Is your strength in setting up computers? Why not take that skill to the local senior citizen housing complex and offer to set up their computers.

The key is using the gifts we have to serve others and you will see your self-esteem soar!

Comment by Luke Townsley on August 11, 2012 at 10:37am: Arlena,

Part of the equation is to interview with jobs you BELIEVE you really want and can handle even in spite of what it might say on paper. Then it is just a matter of letting them know you REALLY believe you should be part of their team.

Granted, that is over simplifying, it won't work every time, and there are a lot more parts to that process.

But as far as building self confidence, it is hard to convince someone else you are the best when you are honestly doubting you really even want the job.

On a first interview, don't be afraid to interview them and find out if it is really a job you want. If you were looking for someone for your team, wouldn't it be nice if they would show some interest in what you do? And don't feel bad when you find out it isn't right and you aren't accepted or bow out.

I know for me, I generally have to "sleep on it" before I really see a complex situation, such as an interview, clearly.

A rejection can be taken as a sign you didn't properly present your case or as a sign that it really wasn't the job you wanted.

The hiring process is notoriously fallible and studies show that very often the "best" candidate isn't the one chosen. Also lots of hires just don't work out.

Making a human connection and showing you would really fit on their team can be more important than having an extra credential on paper.

Comment by Arlena R. Levy on August 11, 2012 at 9:59am: Hi. Dan always says not to make either or decisions. So I'm looking beyond stay or quit my job. After being debt free I realized that I am not interested in continuing with my current employer - federal civil service. So in order to open up more possibilities I've decided to sell my condo so I can eventually leave the DC area. I'm still working on fixing up my place to sell. In the mean time I've had a few interviews, but no new position yet. I'm getting better in my interview. I know that I'm not confident enough in my belief that I'll find new work, and I believe that is showing up in my interviews. I'm reading and doing the work in How to Raise your self-esteem. Still does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
