I’d have to share that your dream jobs are often not actually a dream.

Not every job posting is a fit, rejection is a part of the process - don’t lose hope.

Your career does not have follow a specific line. Be flexible and open to change, to new titles and new industries!

Plus, we should all own the 'gaps' in our lives and speak about them confidently, I hope you'll add yours to this 🙂

What do I do if I have gaps in my #resume? A thread 🧵

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

Gaps can be from relocation, having a child, chronic illness, and no one should have to explain these personal life events in an interview. So adding in a few details and dates can avoid all of this.

#Remote environments work when you have the right leaders in place. Focus on that, not the “come back to the office or else mandates” that are scaring off half of your talent pool…

Just some food for thought.

We’ve all been unfairly judged by others at some point.

However much it stings, I’ve learned that staying calm & showing #compassion are crucial in resolving these misunderstandings.

But… how often do you let your #ego take over & compassion fly out the window?

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

📷It’s so easy to become unhinged when someone is attacking your character or #work ethic.

I hear so many stories of #badbosses accusing rather than communicating.

But reacting with anger or frustration puts you in a place of darkness rather than a place of light.💡

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

#Impostersyndrome arises when we view ourselves through the lens of perceived external judgments, rather than valuing our own talents, worth, & abilities.

Overcoming it begins with fostering self-trust & recognizing our intrinsic value, separate from others’ opinions.

[Career Organic @careerorganic]

We get it, getting a #rejectionletter can sting 🐝 & replying might be the last thing on your mind (or maybe you're tempted to clap back 😤).

But hold up!

@BD_CareerCoach is here to share some wisdom on why responding to those rejections can actually be a power move ⬇️

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

taking chances
negotiating more money
pursuing a new career
saying “enough” to that pesky internal critic

It’s a temporary state of being, not a life sentence. Don’t let that extra voice in your head bully you into thinking you are less than. 💗

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

I was teaching a job search strategy class today and a student asked if there’s a way to ever get over imposter syndrome.

And I answered emphatically, “YES!” 🔥

Don’t let thoughts of how others may judge you, keep you from...

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

Overcoming your fears & self-doubt will be your path to fulfillment this year. 💡

If you find yourself doubting who you are, the decisions you’re making, your worth… someone may be facilitating these feelings through their poor actions & words toward you.

Don’t let them steal your power or your confidence.

Your sanity and future successes deserve more!

[Briar Dougherty @BD_CareerCoach]

⭐️Don’t let those emotional vampires be the reason you don’t achieve your goals.

Find strength in aligning your life with people who lift you up, not those who make you constantly doubt yourself.
