Mastering the Emotional Change Curve of Your Job Search
St. Michael Catholic Church, 4491 Springfield Road, Glen Allen, VA, USThe modern job search is more than just a logistical challenge—it is a profound psychological journey. While most workshops focus solely on resumes and interviewing, this interactive session dives into the "internal work" required to sustain a long-term search. Using the framework of the Change Curve, we will pull back the curtain on the predictable emotional stages of transition—from the initial shock and frustration to the "mid-search slump" and eventual breakthrough. You will walk away with a personalized "map" of your current emotional landscape, proactive strategies to reclaim your agency during low-energy periods, and a renewed sense of resilience. Join us to normalize the struggle, connect with fellow seekers, and transform the "roller coaster" of job searching into a manageable, intentional path forward.
