- 1. Keeping records of favorable feedback (see interview record form).
- 2. Having a positive mental image of your goal.
- 3. Forming a support group.
- 4. Maintaining a successful search plan.

- attitude and successfully completing your job search.

- Write a description of yourself in the job you want, a job that is
- satisfying and in surroundings that you would be happy in.
