Unlock the Secrets to a Successful Job Search: A Mind Over Matter Approach

In the world of job hunting, it's easy to get caught up in the physical aspects of searching for a job - updating resumes, attending interviews, and networking. However, the truth is that 99% of job search success lies in the psychological realm. It's a mental game, and to win, you need to master your mindset.

I recall following a group of pioneering recruiters on Twitter, including the enigmatic @Animal, aka Michael Kelemen from Toronto. Known for his brutally honest feedback, @Animal doesn't mince words, but his tough love approach is designed to help job seekers overcome their obstacles. His popular Blogtalkradio show is a must-listen for anyone looking to gain a fresh perspective on their job search.

@Animal's latest eBook, "Psychology of Job Hunting," is a game-changer for those struggling to find employment. This engaging dialogue between a seasoned salesman and an unemployed job seeker offers valuable insights into human nature, motivation, and attitudes. At its core, the book is about overcoming fear and developing the confidence to take action.

One of @Animal's tweets perfectly captures the essence of his book: "You're not going to die. You have to be wrong and strong. And you have to practice dialing so you can do it when you're scared." This mindset is essential for job seekers looking to break free from their comfort zones and take control of their search.

The book is packed with actionable advice, including the importance of selling yourself and developing the skills to convince others. As Daniel Pink notes in "To Sell is Human," moving people is a vital life skill that can be applied to all areas of life.
