7. PART THREE: MANAGE EXPECTATIONS
Research by psychologist Marty Seligman found that the biggest
determinant between those who succeed after setbacks of any kind is
how they interpret them.
People who interpret losing their job as a sign of personal inadequacy
or failure are less likely to ‘get back on the horse’ in their job hunt
than those who interpret it as an unfortunate circumstance that
provided a valuable opportunity to grow in self-awareness,
re-evaluate priorities and build resilience.
