Job Search Not Going Well (And How To Turn it Around)

In this video, Natalie Fisher explains why a job search may stall and presents a proven four‑phase system to reverse the trend. She outlines the steps: (1) consistently generate opportunities and conversations; (2) develop interview skills to clearly communicate value; (3) prepare for salary discussions before interviews; and (4) set yourself up for success and growth once hired. Fisher emphasizes the importance of mindset, using a Hawaii‑flight analogy to illustrate persistence despite feeling stuck, and warns against heading in the wrong direction. She cites mentorship from Brooke Castillo, offers a free deep‑dive workshop on the system, and ends with a casual sign‑off featuring her dog Carly.

Today I'm going to be talking about if your job search is not going well, why that might be, how to look at it, and how to turn it around. So stay tuned. If you don't get your dream job right away, it's not working until it does work. So it's a process to get from point A to point B. So by definition, that is working. It's you working in the process because it is going to be a process to go through. Each person is going to take a different amount of time. So what it is basically, it's a 4-phase step process that everybody needs to take. So I've identified these 4 steps and I've really clearly shown exactly how each step works for how to get your dream job. So if your process isn't working, your strategy isn't working. And that's what you need to recognize if your job search isn't going well. So in the video, I'm going to go through the 4 steps. And we're just gonna outline them briefly, and then we're gonna talk about your mindset around it not working and how that's affecting you to move forward. First of all, you must generate enough opportunities to have lots of conversations and lots of doors opening consistently for you. So you must have consistent stuff going on. Secondly, you must have the skill of interviewing, or you must be developing the skill of interviewing and be able to communicate your value effectively, be able to communicate what you have to offer effectively. Thirdly, You must know how to have that conversation around money, around salary comfortably. You must be prepared for that conversation before you even have an interview. Fourth, you gotta know how to set yourself up for success in the role when you get it and what your next steps in that role are gonna be so that you can always be thinking about your growth and the next steps forward. So many of us give up on the way to our dream job because we're not there yet. So one of my mentors, Brooke Castillo, put it perfectly. She talks about it like this. She says, Can you imagine flying to Hawaii like this? Knocking on the cockpit door saying, um, excuse me, pilot, this isn't working. You're not doing this right. We are not in Hawaii. I thought this plane was to Hawaii. And the pilot says, uh, yes, ma'am, it is. And you say, well, where's the beach? Where's my tan? Where's the ocean? This plane, this plane sure does not seem like Hawaii. In fact, it seems like the opposite of Hawaii, right? It's not Hawaii until the second when it is. Dreams are just stopped along the way because of this line of thinking. What you gotta do is you gotta keep going, keep failing, keep taking action until you succeed. And before you know it, you're just going on interviews, meeting people, and boom, you're in your dream job and there's your offers coming in. It's the same with Hawaii. Boom, you're all of a sudden in Hawaii. So it's not working right up until it does work, and that's how it goes. So the only caveat here is you need to make sure that you are headed in the right direction. So if you were on the plane to Hawaii, but you were going in the wrong direction, then you're not going to get to Hawaii, right? So that's where my 4-phase system comes into play. This has been tested and proven with hundreds of students, and we know that it gets you there if you keep going and you keep following the system. So if you want more depth on the 4-phase system, I have a free workshop that you can sign up for. You just need to click the link below, and you're going to get examples, and we're going to go really deep into that 4-phase system. Okay, so if your job search is not going well, if you keep telling yourself it's not working, this is for you. So sign up for the training below and I'll see you there.

So I know many of you talk to me about your dogs, so I just thought I'd bring her into the video just because she hasn't been on in a while. Just kind of— oh, she got a haircut about a month ago. She looks cute, right? She just kind of sleeps at my feet. Say hi, Carly. Say hi to everybody. Hi! I think she wants to go back to sleep now. All right, see you guys next week. Bye!
