General Career Process
General Career Process
What we often don’t think about:

process?
• Do these emotions impact
outcome?
Career Process
• Do emotions impact the career process and how so?
Short Answer: YES!

• Lack of Challenging assignments
Side Note about
Career
Process
Path between “the place we occupy and who we anticipate being”
Career Stakeholders
Before Confidence
• The feeling of ‘lack’
• Lack of knowledge
• Fear of failure
• Too “x”
• Other Examples?
Career Confidence
• Kosterlitz, 2015 “Experts (say) that confidence trumps competence as the key trait
for career success”
• Career Confidence: Not define, dynamic, active, more traits than concrete
• Before we talk more in-depth about confidence:
• Overconfidence: Puff up when you can’t deliver
• Check: How big is the gap between my competences and this problem/challenge?
• With a Risk like this why talk confidence?:
• Career Success, more enjoyment, increased feelings of self-possession, autonomy and
control.
Tip 1: Growth Mindset
• Mindsets are beliefs—beliefs about yourself and your most basic qualities.
Think about your intelligence, your talents, your personality. Are these
qualities simply fixed traits, carved in stone and that’s that? Or are they things
you can cultivate throughout your life?
Tip 2: Courage
• “Heart” to achieve goals
• Bad Fear:
• Overactive, irrational, Worst-case scenarios
• Good Fear:
• Excited, Rise to this Challenge, Inhabit larger space than used to
• Taking Time to look at fear..
Tip 3: Grit
• Define: firmness of character; indomitable spirit
• Perseverance and passion for long-term goals
• The cycle
• How does this goal connect?
• Marathon vs. Sprint
Tip 4: Self-Compassion
• Define: compassion to one's self in instances of perceived inadequacy,
failure, or general suffering
• Why stiff upper lip doesn’t work
• Keeping Perspective
• Negative self-talk
• Talking….
Putting it all Together

Editor's Notes

  1. Why I made this: my own career journey, just finishing undergrad, no ideas..
  2. So if I have all my doc’s together, if I’ve done my research on the company and so on- what’s left?
  3. 2008, story, applied to whatever. Felt useless.
  4. We reflect on others that have said things- I sought out advice, I remember this person saying “having a ba means nothing” that took everything from me.
  5. First salary outside of college, just wanted anything, read job, 25-30k- Noting how our shakeholders can be a part of each of these processes
  6. We’ve talked about the “lack” now lets note when too much confidence happens..
  7. I talked about applying for jobs- and I remember applying for the job I wanted- Student Services- Feeling lots of fixed mindsets- which causes me not to take chances.
  8. Fear can be a good thing- but first the bad- Boss getting fired- feeling that lack… Good fear: There was this supervisor at my first work- in admissions- jerk- talored suit, real bully. Anyways I got assigned to work on a project with him, that he dumped on me and then got mad I wouldn’t just tell him the answers…it was scary but it was good.
  9. I didn’t get the job- someone else did- but I didn’t give up. I pitched in
  10. Each one of these things are interactive, they require us to examine, and at times we will forget them. And my hope is that as you move through this life and your career or careers each one of these can come to you at times. Stakeholders for when you need encouragement, Growth mindset for when you doubt, Fear for when you are nervous, Grit for when you have a setback and self-compassion for when you need a reminder about how great you all are.
