That’s because you’ve be taught to be believe that job hunting is hard, and you should expect a long, difficult and problem-filled struggle. Well, if that’s what you believe, then that’s how your job hunt will be. It doesn’t have to be that way, and this article will explain why.

You’re probably read lots of job hunting articles and books and found that despite the confusing and often conflicting advice, they all say pretty much the same thing: you have to do something specific to make your dream job happen, and if you don’t get hired, it’s because you didn’t do it correctly.

So, you’re told to put in or leave out an objective, to “sell yourself” at every opportunity and to be prepared to be called at any hour of the day or night by a stranger who has the authority to interrogate you on matters which have nothing to do with the kind of work you want to do.

Being between jobs is bad enough because it’s naturally to be filled with fear, doubt and confusion, but this system of job hunting adds insecurity, unworthiness and loneliness to the mix. If you can identify with this, you might be ready for a change.

I am going to share with you something so simple – yet powerful – that it may change your life. It is an ancient principle that has been written about, taught and also suppressed for thousands of years, and when you understand it, you can use it to bring that dream job – and anything else you desire – into your life easily and effortlessly.

It is the Law of Attraction (LAO), which many people are coming to learn about through a DVD and book called “The Secret.” www.thesecret.tv  The Law of Attraction states that you attract to yourself anything you focus on, give feeling to or think about consistently.  

The LOA creates demonstrations of whatever you think about, feel, or believe. These demonstrations can come in the form of experiences, objects, relationships, health, money, and yes, a job.

Here are some basic principles of the Law of Attraction:

§         It works for everyone exactly the same way all the time. It is totally impersonal, has no feelings, doesn’t have opinions, pass judgment or play favorites.

§         It is always “on.” You can’t turn it on or off, get away from it or affect it in any way.

The Law of Attraction is entirely, totally and absolutely predictable. We don’t know how it works, but we know that it works. In fact, you are using the Law of Attraction right now, whether or not you know it, through your conscious – and subconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

So what does this mean to you? It means that you are creating your own reality right now through your thoughts and beliefs (even your subconscious or “hidden” beliefs).

In other words, when you focus on what a tough time you’re having finding a new job, you’re having a tough time finding a new job simply because you’re focusing on what a tough time you’re having!

The good news is that you can to use the Law of Attraction to bring you what you want, instead of more of what you don’t want.

The bad news is that it requires you be constantly aware of what you’re thinking and then replace any negative thoughts with positive ones.

Let’s take another look at the negative affirmations we started out with and then replace them with positive ones.

Positive Affirmation: Everything I do brings me closer to my right employment, and I look forward to each new day with joy, knowing that my dream job is mine now and is already on its way to me. And so it is!

Remember – you always get what you ask for, so make sure you ask for what you want, not what you don’t want!
