As a job-seeker, you may think that you are unlucky and that is the reason you are not landing a job. Unfortunately, the way you think is wrong because the mistake lies on you and you alone. You have to be honest to yourself to realize your shortcomings. In fact, most of those who find it difficult to land a job seem to have one big shortcoming. Of course, it is easy to overcome this but you have to make sincere and consistent efforts to surmount it. Let us find out more on this.
What is the shortcoming?
The shortcoming is getting distracted at the drop of a hat. Of course, it is difficult to overcome distractions, thanks to the endless stream of advertisements, notifications, and messages that flood your gadgets. But unless you control your temptation to get distracted by these, you cannot focus on achieving your goal of landing a good job. Here are a couple of tips to overcome this shortcoming.
1. Schedule fixed timings to read notifications, messages, etc.
Instead of reading the notifications or messages immediately, you can schedule fixed timings to go through them. For example, you can open the notifications and messages once in two or three hours. This strategy will help in avoiding frequent distractions.
2. Make use of the "accountability" trick.
You can tell your close relatives or friends that you have decided to overcome the shortcoming of getting distracted and so, they should point out or rebuff you when you open the messages or notifications. This strategy is popularly known as the "accountability" trick. No one likes to get rebuffed frequently. So, you can gradually overcome the shortcoming of getting distracted.
Once you surmount this issue, you will find that your focusing capabilities have vastly improved. This will go a long way in achieving your goal of landing a good job. In short, you can take complete control of your career.
