Building Confidence to Get Ahead

Building and maintaining confidence is one of the most difficult things to do when a person is unemployed. It can get discouraging for many people to continually be denied jobs, or even interviews! You think you are perfect for the job, are well-qualified, and feel as though this is a job that you can really be passionate about and get fulfillment from. Not to mention the kind of financial security you need for you and your family. When the rejection letters keep coming (if one comes at all), that can really wear down even the strongest mentally and emotionally prepared person.

There are a variety of ways for people to build healthy doses of confidence while searching for that next job. One way is to be sure that what you say in a resume, cover letter, or interview is something you truly believe you can do. Employers have a keen eye for picking out people who say they can do a task, but really can only do part of that task, or not at all. You want to be able to walk into your next interview with the assurance that when asked to do a certain task, you can, and you can do it well.

If there are some areas in your job repertoire that are a little rusty, or perhaps you think you need to learn a new skill to become more marketable, then you might consider continuing education. There are a lot of schools out there that can help you to gain that new skill or re-learn that skill you might have lost. The Accounting and Business School of the Rockies offers Certificate programs in Professional Bookkeeping, Administrative Assistant, Office Manager, Customer Service/Call Center, and Microsoft Power User. ABSR also has resume, interviewing and business etiquette classes to assist in building your confidence. You can complete a program in three to four months and the class schedules work around your busy schedule (day, evening, and Saturdays). You might also be interested in our Virtual Online option, where you can complete your Certificate from the convenience of your own home. If you are interested in learning more about these Certificates, and more importantly how you can gain or re-build confidence in your job search, please contact us at Daniel@ABSRschool.com or 303-755-6885.
