Week 15 - MKTG 3347- Mindset Matters

 


    Having a good mindset is vital when searching for a job and or succeeding in a job as there are many outcomes that can happen individuals must be prepared to face situations to their best. If individuals go into job searching with the correct mindset it will build their self confidence in order to pursue jobs they believe they are qualified for. Also, some individuals may be strong candidates but if they lack self confidence they can jeopardize their opportunities. It can be difficult for those who are having a long journey searching for a job and are being rejected. It can be disappointing but if individuals have the right mindset they make look at this at a step towards a different direction. Instead of focusing on rejection individuals should look at it as an opportunity to find something better suitable. Another mindset individuals should have would be promoting themselves instead on focusing on our perceived weaknesses. Although it is easy to focus on your weaknesses you must switch that mindset; instead of saying you do not have certain qualifications you should say that you offer other great skills. 

    By changing your mindset you can produce positive feelings in which will make you much more confident. Individuals will start to see great progress and it is recommended to take note of it by doing so individuals will feel much more successful. Personally I have had a difficult time controlling my negative thoughts during important events like exams or interviews and I often feel anxious which leads to me making foolish mistakes. If only I was able to learn about how impactful a good mindset is; it would have help me with my academic and professional career.

Week 6 - MKTG 3347 - Am I Learning?

Image
     Many of us including myself have been in classrooms where we are constantly learning so much new information that by the end of the class there was little to no understanding of the material. During my primary education up until my freshman year of college, I struggled with many learning obstacles. The general studies of math, English, and science were my least favorite and I had the hardest time trying to retain information. But I always found myself excelling in art, cooking, and nontraditional courses. Perhaps because I was good at it without really trying; I was much more open to learning these courses.       According to the INC article "New Cognitive Research Shows Gaining Knowledge and Achieving Mastery Come Down to the Rule of 7" by Jeff Haden, any student can learn any subject if they put in the effort and study consistently.
