A recent study at the University of Missouri concluded that putting together a plan at the start of your job search, and having positive emotions while looking for a job, has a significant impact on success. The research involved 327 job seekers.
“We found it most interesting … thinking about a plan, acting on a plan and reflecting upon that a plan were important early in the job search while having positive emotions were important later in the job search,” said Daniel Turban, professor at the University of Missouri’s College of Business. According to the research conscientiousness appears to be key to a successful job search process. “Perhaps, conscientious job seekers conducted better quality job searches by scrutinizing their fit with prospective employers more carefully or more effectively following up with employers,” Turban said.
The research has shown that job seekers should maintain positive emotions throughout the process to improve those chances of getting a job. Positive emotions may help job seekers behave more confidently and cope better with stress, “thereby responding more skillfully in interviews than job seekers with less positive emotions,” according to the report.
“Some of these recommendations seem like they are common sense, but they are just not that common. People don’t have strategies, they don’t assess their plans and they don’t think about their strategies and reflect on whether it’s working or how to make them work better. They just don’t do it,” Turban said.
