Every JOB Seeker and Recruiter Should Read This!
I’ve failed in more jobs than I’ve succeeded…
I started as a cashier at Whole foods, got promoted to Supervisor, but then wasn’t mature enough, made mistakes, and was asked to step down to cashier.
I resigned.
I was fired from another job right after graduating college.
Anxiety got the best of me, I didn’t learn the job well, and they let me go.
As a recruiter, I did well. But I got promoted to Project Manager and hated that, too. More anxiety. I was unhappy and asked to be demoted.
I was back to just working as a recruiter, but knew this wasn’t my dream.
I wanted more.
Finally, I found something that works for ME – online business.
It’s not for everyone, but it’s what I needed to succeed and to play to my strengths.
My point is:
- Everyone’s strengths are different. It’s okay if you fail at a few things; you’re just finding out what you’re good at!
-
If you’re not where you want to be yet, it’s okay. This isn’t the end. Just keep going.
-
You only need to become great at one thing to make a lot of money. 🤷♂️
I’ve seen this over and over again among friends/colleagues and know it to be true 🙂
You can fail at 10 things, and find 1 that you are great at, and you’re going to be successful.
Do you agree?
