To create the ICAEW Guide to Successful Job Search, ICAEW worked with Simon Gray, author of ‘Super Secrets of Successful Executive Job Search’ and founder of Career Codex, in addition to experts from across the recruitment and business world to share their knowledge of how to find and secure the job you want.
In Episode 3, ‘The psychology of job search success’, Gray focuses on the role of psychology and why the right mindset is essential to finding success in the job market. He explains the critical relationship between beliefs, thoughts and actions.
He argues that commonly held beliefs, such as “there are lots of candidates with more experience”, can become a self-fulfilling prophecy for jobseekers; resulting in highly skilled and capable candidates failing to find the success they deserve.
In this podcast, Gray details ways in which you can start to examine how you think about the job market and yourself, and make changes that will see you taking a more proactive and positive approach where you’re in complete control.
