Eliminate Your Doubts To Achieve Career Success

The key to success in both personal and career issues is to be positive and confident in your skills and abilities. If you appear to be doubtful or unsure of your knowledge or skills it will be obvious to the interviewer or prospective employers.

Doubts are natural and are often a signal that perhaps there is insufficient training or skill development in an area of the workplace. If you are experiencing doubts there are some steps that you can take to eliminate them.

• Know your level of training and keep current with new trainings available. If you were currently employed perhaps your employer would be willing to fund trainings or to share the cost. Attend refreshers and seminars that keep you up-to-date with research or advances in the field.
• Understand what the expectations are for minimum requirements in your career area. Strive to exceed rather than just meet these requirements. Motivated employees and candidates stand out in interviews and in work performance.
• Be aware of technical changes that are occurring in the workplace. Many IT websites offer free or very low cost tutorials or on-line classes.
• Talk to other employees or colleagues regarding their level of training or skill development. Once you understand what others are doing you will be able to either update your skills or build confidence in the ones that you have.

Besides training and skills issues there may also be personal factors that lead to doubt. By changing your perspective from one of doubt to one of positive self-confidence you will have greater career success. Changing this perspective is up to you, but friends, family and co- workers can play an important role.

• Make a list or journal of your personal and career accomplishments.
• Take compliments, awards and recognition to heart. Don't minimize these positives.
• Encourage friends, family and co-workers to discuss positives in both their life and yours.
• Focus on the future and the potential for success, not the past and the issues that were not as beneficial as you would have liked.
• When you find yourself having doubts, determine what the concerns are and address them.

Just realizing you have doubts is a positive aspect of your ability to judge yourself. Get additional training or experience and re-evaluate your skills. Deal with your doubts when they arise and they will quickly be replaced with a positive outlook on your career possibilities.
