What Is Behind the Fear of Success?

By Ann Vertel

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

What do you suppose will happen when you finally achieve all you've dreamed of? Aside from the expected upticks in your income and the ability to buy more things, travel more, invest more, and do more of what you really enjoy, what else could happen?
If you're like a lot of people, you haven't really looked at the downside to achieving all that success. You may have some vague notion that things will change, and they most certainly will, but you may also have assumed that all those changes will be good ones.
At least that's what your conscience thinks. If you have a fear of success, your subconscious has been actively engaged in ensuring that none of those things happen by working diligently to keep you comfortably at status quo.
Fear of success is a hidden, subconscious belief that if you actually become successful, dire consequences will ensue. It means that no matter how badly you want to achieve success, no matter how hard you work for it, and no matter how strong your will is to achieve it, your subconscious will do everything in its power to prevent it. And trust me, the subconscious is far more powerful than you might expect.
If you have a fear of success, you may experience one of five anxieties when you think about your goal. Simply anticipating your success can trigger these subconscious anxieties and lead to the complete opposite of your intended outcome. I'll talk about two of those anxieties here.
The first is a fear that if you become successful other people, those most important to you in particular, will love you less. That you will lose their affection and they will think less of you. If as a child you were criticized or belittled - if your parents held little hope that you would ever achieve anything significant - validating that opinion by complying with it ensures that you do not defy or disagree with their judgment. It keeps you in their good graces. Remaining average confirms for them what they suspected all along. You don't make them angry by defying their opinion and they reward you by continuing to approve of your current potential.
You can work for their approval or work for results, but you can't do both.
The second anxiety is a fear that you will not be able to handle an increase in status. It is a fear of increased responsibility. Naturally as you become more successful you will gain more responsibility. The benefits of achieving success might be appealing, but the change to who you will become and the responsibility that goes along with it, might feel unnerving. Perhaps we're just not up to taking on that type of significance - we'll feel like a fraud or we'll feel embarrassed. Maybe we'll be expected to say and do and be things that just don't feel comfortable. Maybe we'll humiliate ourselves by trying to do more than we think we are capable. Seeing who we could be and actually stepping into that role require different sets of skills.
There is good news. These subconscious anxieties aren't real, they are phantom thoughts that take up residence in our underlying beliefs to keep us from stepping up and stepping out so we don't hurt ourselves. They're just beliefs. And beliefs can be changed.

For these larger companies hiring is really a numbers game, which means whittling the number of applicants down to a workable group can mean strict attention given to tiny details.
The important thing to remember when apply to new job openings is that a delay in response is not necessarily a bad thing. Stay patient and try to invest your time in activities that can enhance your skills.

5 Top Tips for Job Seekers

By RL Stevens

Get started on your job search with the best basic tools:
1. Networking Business Cards: These are must-haves when meeting new people. Everyone is a connection and the easiest way to give them you information is to have it on a card. Besides your basic contact info, it should have your title, industry and area of expertise. Use good card stock and keep it simple. If you are in a creative field, you can get away with having it be more artsy.
1. Networking Business Cards: Use good quality card stock in a white, ivory, grey or other classy shade that matches your resume paper. State your name, title, industry and area of expertise. Indicate your contact number and your e-mail. Note: If you are in a creative field it's ok to be a little more artsy in card color and graphics. The card is an essential tool for exchanging your basic information with new a contact and it eliminates searching for a pen and a piece of paper.
2. LinkedIn Profile: This is the #1 professional online network going and millions of people around the world are members. They have their professional profiles listed, where they work, where they used to work, what schools they attended, what professional and educational groups they belong to and recommendations from former co-workers, clients and associates. You can learn a lot from a well-crafted profile including new contacts, companies to research and organizations that have members with the same interests and goals as you.
3. Your "Pitch": You know how to answer when someone asks you what you do when you are employed. You work for this company in this role doing these tasks. When you are unemployed, what do you say? "I'm looking for a new job." Well, you could. It's best to use the opportunity to your advantage. Create a 30-second to 1-minute story. State your experience and expertise, what you are looking for and what you can do for a prospective employer. "For 10 years I was the VP of Operations for ABC Company. My focus was on ___, ___ and ___. I am now interested in working for a ___company in the ___field, such as XYZ Co or DEF Co. My expertise in ___ will be applicable to their ___ division or product. (Throw in a success statistic.)" You get the picture. No sob story, no throwing the previous boss or company under the bus. Be positive, enthusiastic and open to suggestions. And if the person you are with is new to you, please ask them about what they do. It could be the start of a beautiful friendship!
4. Success Stories: Everyone has accomplishments from their work. Everyone. If you think about it, you can remember or uncover achievements that will help promote you as a good candidate. If you are having trouble, pretend you are going to have your annual review and you will get a salary increase for every measurable accomplishment you present to your manager. You'd find them. These examples show your ability to solve problems and address challenges an employer may have. Show them how you identified the circumstance, what conduct you chose to address the concerns and what the conclusion was. This simple strategy can be very impressive and says a lot about you, the way you work and what value you bring to the company.
5. Planned Activities: "Looking for a job is a FT job" as the saying goes." Work usually incorporates various activities: computer work, meetings, phone calls, paperwork, research, projects, client interactions, follow-ups, reports. It also may include prospecting for new clients, vendors or opportunities, selling a product or service and closing deals. All of these elements are present in your job search. You need to research companies of interest, prospect for contacts, create informational meetings, uncover opportunities, speak with company representatives, present your materials, sell your abilities, follow up and close the deal. To help keep you motivated, you must plan your time so you have goals, just like when you were working at a company. Having said that, when you were working you took a day off now and then and sometimes could rearrange your schedule to accommodate life. You should still do that in a job search. You can take time out during the day to do something of importance to you and make that time up in the evening. Give yourself a day off periodically. It's healthy and smart to be good to yourself. One final activity - once a week, try on your interview clothes to make sure they still fit! You'll be glad you did!

Three Easy Steps To Finding A Legitimate Data Entry Job By Diane Cruz Platinum Quality Author

When most people think of data entry, they think of it as typing documents, not as ad posting jobs. That's why most of these non traditional data entry jobs get a bad rap. A lot of people don't understand the new concept, as this field has evolved quite a bit since the internet world came into play. Data entry is used as a broad term in many of these jobs, so that throws people off. Because ad posting jobs consist of typing ads, they are automatically thrown into the home typing and data entry category. I don't think of it as misleading, I think people just need to get used to the new concept the virtual world holds to data entry. Ad posting and submission jobs are actually very legitimate programs. These have become one of the most lucrative jobs the internet has to offer. The good part is, these jobs don't require experience with vast typing skills, as a lot of these ads can simply be copied and pasted. Just about anybody can do them that can obviously learn how to follow instruction, read and write English and has a computer. These are pretty simple requirements. Because it's an online only job, these jobs are open internationally as well. They were created for the purpose of companies saving out of pocket costs as they are commission based. This allows for a higher pay for each generated sale, therefore everyone wins.
Home typing and data entry jobs are great for stay at home mom and dads or students too. They provide a lot of flexibility and freedom for one to have, not to mention working from home in general can save quite a bit of money on gas and child care costs. Many people desire a work from home job, but are afraid of trusting these websites due to so many online scams. It's unfortunate because they're the ones who lose out in the long run. The programs will always find workers, but not everyone will find a trusting job to work from home. It's all about educating yourself and taking the time to do research. The reason why most people fall prey to scams is simply lack of research on a company. I've been guilty of the same thing. But I learned simple techniques to be able to verify legitimacy before I jump into something. It's not that the actual ad posting program is a scam, it's the company to which you join is what you need to worry about. There are a lot of fake employer websites and criminals that simply built fake job opportunity websites in order to cash in on the admission fees. So the first thing to do is figure out what it is you want to do, then make sure the program actually works, next step is to find a good and reliable company. Three easy steps to finding a home job. There's quite a few easy ways to check out a company such as the BBB or to run a Google search. Those are always the first two things I do before entering into anything. It might be a bit of a pain, but in the long run it's worth it for what you get in return.
