6. FOUR WAYS TO FIND
A SILVER LINING
IN EVERY CLOUD

7. Accept Your Goals
as Achievable

8. You can achieve your dreams if you work
hard enough. Obstacles are just a detour,
and detours aren’t permanent.

9. Formulate a goal and work around a
temporary setback, rather than letting
it stop you. This will help you stay both
creative and resilient.

10. Don’t Just Hope
for the Best

11. As the saying goes, those who fail to plan,
plan to fail.

12. Look at the obstacle in your way
and brainstorm five ways around it.

13. Break your plan into actionable
steps. No step is too small, as
long as you complete it and
cross it off your list.

14. Have a Can-Do
Attitude

15. Your plan should consist of things you CAN
control, rather than focusing on those you can’t.

16. For example, if you lack education or experience
in a particular field, you can’t control
a hiring manager requiring it.

17. But you can control going out and
gaining that education or experience.

18. Your Reaction is
Everything

19. Maintain a positive outlook.
Negativity never solves anything.

20. You can’t control events, but you can
control how you react to them.

21. Commit to keeping your chin up and working
towards your goals. Never give up!

22. A RECRUITER CAN HELP

23. If you’re having a hard time finding job leads or
could use some career advice, a recruiter is
a valuable partner in your job search.

24. They have access to both posted and unposted jobs
and can help you find a position that’s right for you.
