When the economy is doing well, employees are often approached by employers directly and recruited for positions within their organizations! For example, a person might be working in the Accounts Receivable department at one organization and be approached by someone who needs someone with her type of experience at her company. This is common when there are plenty of jobs to go around.
There are not enough jobs for the thousands and millions of people who are unemployed. There are times when for one job there would be over 100 qualified applicants. Some institutions even put a cap on the number of applications they receive. If it’s a lucrative job, they often mention that only the first 100 applications.
When there are many applicants, positions are highly competitive. It is especially difficult to get a position when many companies hire internally and never post positions publicly. They use word of mouth and recommendations from their currently employees to get someone placed in a position.

Why Interviewing for Jobs is Difficult and Challenging
There is so much to fear when going on job interviews. In fact, in a 2013 study, it was reported that 92% of people dread the process of interviewing. So much so that they would rather stay at their current place of work and be unhappy than face the consequences of applying and interviewing for a new job. You only have a few seconds to make a good impression on the interview panel. It's hard to sell yourself in such a short time, especially if you feel that you do not necessarily have the experience or education for the job you are applying for.
Here are some typical reasons why job interviews are so challenging for most people:
- Fear of being rejected and not being liked (failure)
- Low self-confidence
- Being too anxious and seeking perfectionism
- Not having enough experience interviewing (not knowing what to expect)
Move Ahead in Your Career by Step-by-Step Backward Planning

Backward planning is a process by which you think ahead and start from a future point to move back to the current. Backward planning is not a new concept. It gets used a lot in teaching. A teacher thinks about when a unit in her class must be taught and works backward from that point to break the lesson into smaller parts. She identifies where she wants the students to be by a particular time (or deadline) and uses her calendar to divide the unit into smaller portions each day between now and then.
Backward planning can occur not just in teaching but in many other aspects of life. It all begins with a vision and an end goal in mind.
By being clear and intentional with where we want to go in the future, we can start planning backward with specific strategies to get there. It's thinking in reverse!
You must first have a vision of where you want to be in the near or far future, set a specific goal to get there and work backward with planning. Short-term goals are ones that take place in less than one year. Long-term goals take more than one year. Here are some examples of specific SMART goals you can set in a variety of aspects of your life:

There are many benefits and perks to getting a good evaluation at work. They can help you earn a promotion, give you the next step in pay, help boost your confidence to apply for other positions, and even give you a boost of confidence!
An evaluation is also known as a "performance review" or "performance evaluation." The supervisor identifies the employee's strengths and weaknesses at work. The strengths help give the employee confidence knowing that their positive contributions are being recognized at work. The weaknesses are areas that the employee can work on to improve and get better.
As an employee at an organization, you do not want to give your supervisors the chance to have to focus on your areas of weakness or faults because performance reviews mean things. You want to do a good job to impress them because more doors of opportunities will open up if you do an excellent job at your workplace. No matter what type of organization you work for, some key attributes employers seek in employees are the same. If you meet the expectations of the evaluator and focus on developing and demonstrating these key attributes, you will be able to get a good evaluation.
