Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset
- Growth Mindset: Embraces challenges, sees failures as learning opportunities, and believes in continuous improvement.
- Fixed Mindset: Avoids challenges, views setbacks as proof of limitations, and feels threatened by the success of others.
How a Growth Mindset Benefits Your Job Search
- Increased Motivation: You'll be more likely to persist through challenges and setbacks.
- Enhanced Learning: You'll embrace opportunities to develop new skills relevant to your target job.
- Improved Communication: You'll project confidence and a willingness to learn during interviews.
- Positive Self-Reflection: You'll focus on progress and celebrate your accomplishments.
Cultivating a Growth Mindset
- Identify Your Fixed Mindset Triggers: Recognize situations where self-doubt creeps in during your job search.
- Reframe Negative Self-Talk: Challenge limiting beliefs with empowering affirmations. For example, instead of "I'm not qualified enough," use "I'm a fast learner and I'm confident I can develop the necessary skills."
- Focus on the "Yet": When faced with a challenge, remind yourself that the skill you lack is something you can acquire " yet."
- Develop a Growth Mindset Mantra: Craft a personal statement that embodies your growth mindset approach."
Beyond the Session
