Chapter Two
Balancing act: The psychology of the job search

In Chapter Two you will:

  • Understand factors that may affect you during your job search, including some that may seem unrelated.
  • Learn about the "Four S's"—self, situation, support, and strategies—and how to balance them during your transition.
  • Be aware of the highs and lows of your transition process; use them to gain perspective on where you are in the continuum and where you can go from there.
  • Identify how your personality affects your job search and how a strong self-perception can help your search.
  • Use comforting, stress-relieving, and invigorating activities to help you mobilize and energize your job search.
