OUR UPCOMING GUEST SPEAKER AND TOPIC:

Resilient Job Searching: Emotional Skills for the Long Game​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​
with: Julie Thiel

​
Job searching can be far more emotionally demanding than most people expect.
Uncertainty, rejection, and long periods of waiting can quietly drain motivation and confidence, even for capable and experienced professionals.
​
This session helps job seekers understand why these reactions are so common and learn practical ways to stay engaged without burning out. Drawing on well-established research and real-world experience, we will explore how emotions influence job-search behavior and introduce simple, usable emotional skills to navigate the ups and downs of the process with greater clarity and resilience.
Participants will:

• Understand why job searching often leads to discouragement, avoidance, or loss of motivation
• Learn how the way we interpret job-search stressors can shape emotions and behavior
• Explore why positive emotional experiences support resilience during prolonged uncertainty
• Walk away with a few practical emotional intelligence skills they can apply immediately during their job search
