Image
A Coaching Power Tool By Lauren Moy, Career Coach, UNITED STATES The Lack of Uncertainty vs. Control During Job Search Many people do not like job search because of the lack of control or uncertainty that they feel. Sometimes job search happens as a result of graduation, but it can also happen due to being newly divorced, or laid off/fired.  It is especially difficult when this happens, as people are in situations that are not of their choosing. This can leave a jobseeker with feelings of fear, anxiety, and procrastination, and sometimes anger if they felt that the situation was unfair.

They’re an impact and victim of thoughts, feelings, opinion, mood, desires, emotions, appetites, lower self, people, biorhythms, the human body, past lives, subconscious programming, the weather, astrological influences, vital forces, illusions, fantasy, and therefore the environment, just to call a couple of. Only a little percentage of the population are those who take full control of their lives and become Victors. I am confident that there’s no one that knows someone either, friend, family, spouse, etc. who isn’t or has not been a victim in today’s life.
