THE BENEFITS OF CAREER CONFIDENCE

-

 Career Confidence is Vital to Career Satisfaction and Success

Career Confidence Consists of the Following:

  • Having a strong and positive belief in one's work-related assets (i.e. skills, strengths, abilities, talents that enable achievement)
  • Feeling comfortable demonstrating those assets
  • Seeking and being willing to take on challenges, including learning new skills
  • Feeling good and at ease with celebrating achievements
Career Confidence is Important to Career Happiness and Sucess:

When you experience a high level of confidence, it functions like a muscle that reinforces your desire and comfort with applying your work-related assets.  This is especially true when you are performing work that you enjoy and is truly a good fit for you. You are also more likely to experience success when you feel the confidence to apply and demonstrate your work-related skills, talents and abilities.  

A High and Healthy Level of Self Confidence is Beneficial Because it Enables You To:
  • Represent and promote your best work-related assets during the job search process (i.e. creation of resumes; managing job interviews; aiming for one's best fit positions, etc.)
  • Demonstrate your work-related competencies in ways that lead to successful performance
  • Experience openness to new opportunities and learning
  • Grow and advance in your career by assuming increased responsibility 
  • Positively influence others by commanding the respect of colleagues; the confidence and of customers; and the recognition of one's managers.
  • To enjoy a high sense of value and achievement

It is important to note that using a positive lens through which to evaluate what has transpired and where we have landed does not require us to ignore the painful or challenging experiences.  It is healthy to acknowledge problems and negative situations.  However, it is unhealthy to give those events and situations all of the power.  That is what happens when we narrow our lens and focus only or primarily on the pain of hurtful events.
