Persistence and patience are the two minimum requirements needed to complete any task. However, they should become your mantra when obstacles are presented in your job search. Focusing on these activities may help get you through the (sometimes long and arduous) job hunt. In addition, patience and persistence will prepare you for the road of obstacles ahead. Simply required is your undying effort.

Just as Vince Lombardi once said, “Confidence is contagious - so is lack of confidence.” As a 5 time champion in 9 seasons coaching, it’s easy to recognize he knows about confidence. His persistence and patience built confidence. Building confidence through assessing and succeeding in your own goals will aid you well throughout your job search. The first project or task can be daunting even if you feel confident, but you’ll be ready for a challenge.
