Sniff Every Scent

Job search 101 states that every situation is a possible opportunity. You never know where your next opportunity will come from. It could be a chance meeting with a complete stranger. Most of the time it is a chance meeting with someone who is somehow loosely connected with you. Maybe this person is a friend of a friend or a distant family member or some other type of connection. These things just happen when you put yourself out there.

The main reason things just happen is because life has a way of throwing you a curve ball when you least expect it. Putting yourself out there gives life a solid nudge to send the ball your way. If you never put yourself out there, you really never experience life to its full potential.

If you are nervous about putting yourself out there, that is normal. It is so normal, I would think that nine out of ten people feel some type of anxiety with putting themselves out there. Of those nine, some enjoy the anxious feelings and the others absolutely HATE it. If you are in the hate it camp, this time you need to do what you HATE doing and find a way to enjoy it. If you go into it with this attitude, you will eventually find out that you may not hate it as much as you thought you did. You may just needed time to get over the fear of it. Once you are on the other side, it may be exhilarating.

Put yourself out there and see where it takes you. Enjoy the ride.
