Finding a job can be a harrowing experience that makes you question your abilities. So how do you build confidence when a long job search fills you with doubt? That’s what career coach Lori Cole investigates on today’s episode of Find Your Niche, a Career Podcast.

Here are a few ways we sap our confidence:

  • Overthinking
  • Perfectionism
  • Negative self-talk
  • Comparing yourself to others
  • Seeking external validation

In this episode, Cole discusses how to gain confidence for your job hunt with author and podcast host Nicole Kalil, whose book, “Validation is for Parking: How Women Can Beat the Confidence Con,” provides a roadmap to finding confidence from within.
