Dear Eric,
I
have been job hunting for almost a year with very little luck and the
longer I'm unemployed, the more freaked out and depressed I get. I have
less and less self-confidence every day and I'm finding that, on the
rare occasions I do get called for an interview, my nervousness and
insecurity gets the best of me. I'm a sweaty, incoherent mess and I
can't seem to answer even the simplest questions. And every interview I
flub makes me worse the next time. It's a vicious cycle and I'm not sure
what to do about it.

Dearest Anonymous,
Before you begin your career-quest, you must first look within yourself and answer the most important question: What makes you happy?
Do not look for a job praying not to get it. Self-defeating behavior
and thought-forms can only perpetuate your current situation, thus
keeping you from realizing and accomplishing your goals.
Make a career
move which allows the freedom to grow, whilst saving for your future. Do
some web searching, revamp your resume and cover letter with examples
provided, as you can always learn by example.
Instead of visiting craigslist,
search companies online that resonate most with your ideals, level of
professionalism and apply; follow up within three days with a phone
call. Use positive visualization to draw the perfect job towards you.
Perhaps you need to reach beyond your comfort-zone and apply for a
position a few miles away from home. If you are car-less, try using
public transportation to assist you in your travels.
Break through the
barriers of doubt and frustration, overwhelming yourself by taking up
more than you can handle can cause you stress and lead the perpetuation
of the cycle you are in. Be confident not cocky; remember, attitude is everything and you must make yourself shine.

Only you can stop
yourself from reaching your goals. Lastly, do not compromise your
beliefs and ideals; focus on what you want and get it. Use your
creativity and create a vision board with inspiring words and images
evoking success.
Know
you have the perfect job waiting for you; the perfect job is now
manifest. And it is so! Remember my motto: “Reach for the galaxies,
shoot beyond the stars, and always aim with your heart.”
Dust yourself off, and take flight! Now go get ‘em tiger!
