7. Meet Marcos
He recently got laid off after working at his company for 15 years.
He updated his resume and sent it out to several similar corporations. He hasn’t had much luck. No calls, no interviews…

8. What initial thoughts would you have about each situation?
Write your initial thoughts for each of the 3 different situations on your worksheet
Situation 1: You’ve sent out lots of resumes and don’t get any calls or interviews.
Situation 2: You come in as the 2nd choice candidate for two jobs in a row.
Situation 3: Despite leaving early for an interview, you hit heavy traffic and arrive late to the interview.

9. Mindset Reboot Strategy
Identify and let go of negative thoughts and limiting beliefs.
It’s your CHOICE to create new more positive thoughts OR you can continue onward with negative thought?
Stop yourself when having the thought or feeling
Capture the negative thought
Choose which way you want to go
Choose a new thought with a more positive perspective.

11. Then, Marcos chose to Focus on what he can control…
his thoughts and actions.
He switched his thinking to possibilities and realized that the more resume he sends out the more likely he is to get a call.
He shifted from what wasn’t working to what he can control which made all the difference in his mindset.

13. More empowered thoughts...
I must be doing something right to make it this far in the interview process.
Arriving late is not the best start. I can still make a great impression.
I will keep sending out resumes until I find the perfect fit. My goal is to send 10 out this week.
