One Thing to Try Out Now to Boost Your Career Confidence

Use a special writing prompt to create more confidence in a certain area of your career. A great prompt for building confidence is:



I was able to [refer to a specific success here] because I am [area you want to create more confidence in].



For example, to feel more confident about your skills while job hunting you could write:
I was able to earn a promotion in my last job because I am highly skilled in data analysis and managers recognize I have a lot to offer.



This prompt has been shown in academic, peer-reviewed studies to give people effective, long-term results for using it consistently. It has been shown to increase confidence, performance and, in some studies, persistence in the face of failure. Use this at least once a week to benefit from this technique.
