In CAREEREALISM University, we teach participants the new rules to job search in today's changing professional landscape. The step-by-step process includes video segments where we outline key learning points. The segment above is a crucial one for those who are looking for a job. Like all of our education tools, it's honest and direct. I decided to share this clip so our blog readers could get a taste of what CAREEREALISM University is all about. We are a no-nonsense program. So, if you are looking for a pat on the back and for me to say things like 'you can do it' and 'it's not your fault' - I'd skip watching. (But then, you read our site and know what we're about...which means you are all so much smarter than that!)
If you are brave enough to take 13 minutes out of your day to watch it, I promise you will be glad you did!
In this, I explain why:
1) ALL career roadblocks (past, present and future) start with YOU.
2) There are 2 main reasons why you are the cause of these roadblocks.
3) One of the reasons goes back to your childhood.
4) The other is a result of your selfishness.
Wow! How's that for a punch between the eyes!?

Are you terrified of screwing up a job interview? Does the thought of writing a cover letter horrify you? Are you scared to network with others? What do you even say, anyway? If you're struggling to overcome your job search fears, this live event is for you.
We get it. Looking for work can be scary, especially if you’ve been at it for a long time and haven’t gotten any results.
Understanding which fears are getting in the way and how to overcome them will make all the difference. Sometimes you might not be aware of which obstacle is getting in the way of your goals. If you want to overcome these fears once and for all, we invite you to join us!
In this training, you’ll learn how to:
- Utilize strategies for coping with your job search fears
- Be confident in your job search—from writing your resume to networking
- Face your fears and move forward
Join our CEO, J.T. O'Donnell, and Director of Training Development & Coaching, Christina Burgio, for this live event on Wednesday, October 5th at 12 pm ET.
