150+ Affirmations to Get a Job

As a career coach, I like to talk about the importance of working on your mindset and personal development in addition to teaching practical job search strategies. You’re most likely here because you’re in the middle of a job search. Or maybe you’re starting to think about making a career pivot. Regardless, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or frustrated, you’re not alone. In this post, I’ll be going over 150 affirmations to get a job to encourage you in the often difficult job search journey!

150+ Affirmations to Get a Job

As a career coach and former recruiter, I’ve realized that there’s often a missing link in the job search process — mindset.

You’ve polished your resume, sent out countless applications, and even practiced common interview questions. But have you been tuning your mindset for success?

This is where affirmations come into play. Simple, short, and incredibly effective, affirmations are positive statements that can help you get in the right frame of mind before networking, job searching, interviewing, or talking to hiring managers or recruiters.

While positive affirmations alone aren’t going to land you a new job, they can be one more tool in your toolbox to keep your mind in the right place and feel more confident (as they say, fake it ‘til you make it!).

What Are Affirmations?

First, affirmations are phrases or sentences aimed at training the conscious and subconscious mind. They’re optimistic, empowering, and focus on positive life outcomes. They might sound a little woo woo, but I encourage you to give them a try!

Why Use Affirmations in Your Job Search?

Your thoughts and beliefs shape your actions and even body language. If you’re going into an interview thinking, “I’m not good enough for this job,” it’s going to affect how you answer the questions and portray yourself in the interview.

Your feelings are completely valid, but sometimes our thoughts and beliefs stem from fear, which doesn’t serve us when it comes to job searching and interviews.

What about a belief that serves you better? “I am fully capable of doing this job, and doing it well.” Feel the difference?

How to Use Affirmations

Using affirmations in your job search can be a game-changing strategy, setting the tone for a more positive and intentional process.

Start by choosing a few affirmations that resonate with you and your specific goals in this season of your career.

Once you’ve chosen your affirmations, make them a part of your daily routine. Recite them aloud every morning, write them in a journal, or even post them near your workspace.

You can even write down affirmations on post-it notes that you stick where you can see them all the time or look for some artwork with phrases or quotes you love.

The repetition helps embed these affirmations into your subconscious mind, aligning your thoughts and actions with your career aspirations.

As you go through the ups and downs of job applications, interviews, ghosting, rejections, and waiting for your dream offer, these affirmations can serve as anchors, keeping you focused and optimistic.

Affirmations can remind you of your abilities, bolster your confidence, and even make you seem more confident in interviews. Try standing in the Wonder Woman pose in front of a mirror while reciting positive affirmations before your next interview!
