TODAY’S QUESTION

Dustin asks, “I have been rejected so many times that I have lost confidence. How do I get it back?”

Recommendation: You are not alone in this - it has become all too common in the current brutal job market. Here is the best way to build confidence:

• There are two schools of thought when it comes to building confidence. The first is to give compliments but the second and more useful is to build competence, which will build confidence in yourself.

• To build prove competence in the job search, you need to get small wins that build momentum.

• The best way to get small wins are through the following:
