this sound familiar? You’re job hunting and doing everything
you’ve been told to do: sending out waves of resumes with little
or no response, networking like crazy in the hopes of making some
sort of useful connection, and going on frustrating, pointless interviews.
But whatever you’re doing clearly
isn’t working or you’re not doing the kind of work you
want. Take heart. The problem isn’t you. The problem lies
in the system you’ve been taught should work at getting you
work, but doesn’t.
How would you like to get your dream job easily
and effortlessly, without the grind, grief and grumbles of the typical
job hunt? Yes, you can because I can, and if I can do it, so can
you.
When I was 17, I got into the college of my choice
when I didn’t have the grades or SAT scores, didn’t
know anyone on the faculty or administration, wasn’t a minority
or foreign student, didn’t have a scholarship, or grant or
any kind of “in” whatsoever, there was enormous competition
and I was told by my mother and guidance counselor that it was impossible.
Technically, it was impossible, but that didn’t stop me from
believing it was possible.
For 35 years, I’ve gotten every job I ever
wanted, even if I didn’t have the qualifications, didn’t
have any experience, didn’t know anyone on the inside, regardless
of what was happening with the economy, how big the company was
or how big the competition was.
And I never mass mailed or emailed resumes, used
recruiters or went through Human Resources or “networked.”
When I got laid off a week before Christmas in 2007, I had a job
offer the next morning and four months later, was handed this fabulous
position I have now - working from home for a friend
selling medical equipment to government and private healthcare facilities.
“Luck” had nothing to do with
it. In each case, I used the Law of Attraction to bring what I desired
to me. The most power law in the universe, the Law of Attraction
states that you attract anything you focus on with your thoughts,
feelings and beliefs. In other words, what you think about, you
bring about, whether you actually want them or not.
What I used was the Law of Attraction, which you
might have heard of as “The Secret,” thanks to the DVD
and book of the same name. The Law of Attraction is the most powerful
law in the universe, and it states that you attract anything you
focus on through your thoughts, feelings and beliefs – whether
you’re aware of them or not and whether you actually want
them or not.
Here are some ways to understand
the Law of Attraction:

“Like attracts
like.”
“Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall
find; knock and it shall be opened to you.”
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
“It is done unto you as you believe.”
“For whoever have, to him more shall
be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has
will be taken from him.”
“Thoughts are things.” |

Yes, you can literally attract anything
through your thoughts, including your dream job. Here’s how:
Know What You Want
Create a mental video of yourself at work
in your dream job:
- What are you doing, wearing or reading?
- What does your work place look like?
- How much money are you making?
- What is your work schedule?
- Who are your co-workers?
- How do you feel doing this work in this environment
with these people?
Replay this mental video several times a day,
and especially right before you go to sleep, until your dream job
shows up. Use affirmations and visualization to convince your mind
that your dream job is already yours, even if you can't yet see
it, haven't a clue how it will come to you or if it seems impossible.
Be Who You Are
The fastest way to manifest your dream job
is to think, speak and act as if you already have it, so do the
things that a person who has that job would do:
- Have a business card printed specifying
the kind of work you see yourself doing.
- Attend trade functions and mingle with
your peers.
- Take classes and seminars and read industry
publications.
- Keep your mind filled with thoughts of
how great it is to do the work you love.
Never allow fear, doubt, misgivings or anyone
else's opinions to sway you from your conviction that what you want
is already yours. Negative thoughts will block or delay your “good”
from coming to you.
Do What Feels Right
When you embrace the “knowing”
and embody the “being-ness” of having that job, you'll
be intuitively guided to take the most appropriate actions towards
it, and you’ll find you won’t have to do very much at
all, and whatever you do will be exceptionally productive. You can
forget the job boards, the interviews that waste your time and the
months of worrying because here is where the coincidences, synchronicities
and “luck” show up:
- You’ll “happen” to
be in the right place at the right time.
- By “accident,” you’ll
run into the very person you’ve been trying to reach.
- You’ll feel guided to call one
particular person who, it turns out, was looking for someone just
like you right now.
- That golden opportunity, or the money
or resources you needed to accomplish your goal will simply be
there.
It may seem like a miracle, but it’s really
not. This is just the Law of Attraction “demonstrating”
your belief that you have that dream job! Since “it is done
unto you as you believe,” if you really believe that dream
job is yours, it will be yours.
Allow Your "Good" To Come
Releasing and letting go of the need to "make it happen"
may be one of the hardest things you will ever do, but it is the
secret to manifestation. This means never doubting that it will
happen, never questioning how it will happen, and never trying to
force it to happen.
Focus only on the feeling of having what you want;
not on the process of getting it. The Universe knows how to bring
you whatever you desire in ways you can't begin to imagine, but
you must first believe it in order to see it.
"Ask and it is given" is infallible,
so focus only on what you want, not on what you don't want. Either
way, it's already on its way to you. And so it is.
