The last time I was looking for my next job, I dropped the ball.
Big time.
I hadn't interviewed in around 8 years, and I was wildly under-practiced. The irony was that I had spent those 8 years regularly interviewing other people!
But after feeling sorry for myself, it was time to make adjustments:
- Focus on what we have control over
- Identify gaps to improve upon
- Strategize a plan for them
- ... Get to work.
Remember, there are many things outside of your control when you're applying to jobs and interviewing. Try to focus on what's in your control and keep making improvements.
You got this!
