The first step in your plan to deal with negativity was to understand and expect it.  The second step of the plan is to have a plan – a job search plan.  Obviously, you have already started that plan because you are using this program, but here’s the secret you probably didn’t know: simply having a plan and working it is your best defense against stress and depression.

If you have worked at all during your high school or college years, either full or part time, or if you’ve been in the military, you have had some exposure to “working” for a boss.  If so, you will probably immediately understand this Tip.  If you have not had a boss, this Tip may shock you.  Trust me – if you accept what I share with you here, the job search process will be much easier to understand.

You may be asked to take all kinds of psychological, aptitude and intelligence tests.  Be prepared for what I call, the paradox of testing.  Every company that has ever tested candidates will say that, at most, testing accounts for only 25% of their final decision.  Don't believe a word of it!  Whatever kind of test is used, from grapho analysis to psychiatric interviewing, it is a qualifier that you must pass with an arbitrarily set minimum standard.  You will not advance any further in the interview process unless you meet that standard.
