Do you feel like you’re pushing a boulder up a hill? Do you feel stuck and frustrated that you’re trying everything you can think of to land your dream job but it just isn’t working? The chances are that you’re holding onto some job search myths or job search lie that simply do not work. This is going to sound counterintuitive but believe us, it works. If you’re able to identify these career blocking myths and let them go, the opportunities are endless. The good news is that the hardest part; awareness is over. Here are our 3 biggest myths blocking you from your dream job and how to overcome them.\"3<\/a><\/p>\n

I Can\u2019t Do It\u2026<\/h3>\n

The biggest killer for any career is lack of confidence and lack of self-belief. Most people in the world (except a lucky few) suffer from a period of not believing in oneself. Do you\u00a0procrastinate with excuses about why you haven’t applied for a role, enrolling in course after course and attending seminar after seminar. Imagine yourself in your dream career a few years down the line looking back at yourself now. You would tell yourself “There is nothing to worry about. The sooner you start, the sooner you\u2019ll arrive\u201d.\u00a0It is remarkable how few industries will look at your qualifications but rather are more interested in your proven experience and value you can bring to the position.\u00a0Regardless of your experience, the best thing to do is push forward. Don’t let a myth that are not worthy hold you back. Now is your time to shine.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/a>My\u00a0\u201cDream Job\u201d is Unattainable<\/h3>\n

Your dream job is not an unattainable, once in a lifetime enigma\u00a0and one time opportunity that you were born to do. Think of the journey to finding your dream job as a mountain. Don’t be the type of job seeker who is totally daunted by the scale of the mountain and hides away in a mediocre job at sea-level. Don’t be the type of job seeker who climbs half way up the mountain and finds a nice average cabin that ‘will do’, settle, forgetting\u00a0about the rest of your mission. Be the type of job seeker who scales the mountain with determination to find your dream job. Then once at the top you\u00a0sees a range of more mountains and more opportunities for you to conquer. Remember when it comes to career fulfilment it is about the journey of growth and self-improvement, and not the destination.<\/p>\n

Traditional Job Seeking Strategies Still Work\"3<\/a><\/h3>\n

The old-school world of job search is almost well and truly dead. To make an impression with one of the top tier companies you have to think outside the box.\u00a0Don’t keep using the same tired old job seeking strategies and expecting different results.
