Learning from the Past and Visualising Success

July 11th, 2008 by Marty

Don’t allow yourself to wallow in past failures but DO reflect on them. In other words, learn you’re your mistakes – see where you went wrong and why and think of ways to avoid making those same mistakes again. But then move on.

Visualise yourself as being successful in a particular situation and you are much more likely to be. This might seem to be so airy-fairy as to be a joke, but numerous psychological studies have shown that people who imagine themselves being confident and successful in a particular situation and who run images through their mind’s eye about how relaxed they are going to be and how confidently they are going to speak during an interview (say) ARE more confident and successful and confident during that meeting. Try it for yourself. Seriously. Sometimes it can make all the difference

Imagination cannot give you qualifications, skills or experience you don’t have and so you may still be turned down for a particular job if you do not fulfil the requirements they are looking for. That said, if you have all the practical skills and qualifications your potential employer is looking for, a relaxed, warm and confident presentation will often tip the balance in your favour away from similarly qualified applicants.
