Looking for a job is tough on your self-confidence. The trouble is, self-confidence is one of the things you need most when you're job-hunting! People who interview job candidates naturally look for people who seem hopeful and optimistic. Writing for CareerBuilder.com, Selena Dehne suggests that if you lack self-confidence, you're propably not doing enough of the following:
* Networking. Get out and socialize with people who are in your field. It may help you get a job, and at the very least you'll feel better about yourself.
* Bragging. Well, not bragging exactly. But make sure your resume and cover letter actually describe how good you really are at what you do.
* Negotiating. When you get an offer, keep in mind all the skills and talents that you're bringing to the job, and negotiate accordingly. It will prove that you know your own worth.
