Attract The Work You Want!

As a Human Resources Manager, Laura George knows her stuff. She offers detailed accounts of corporate hiring practices, alternative ways to find a job, and how to develop a resume. She also coaches on how to answer certain types of questions appropriately. Laura even peers into our closets to help find the right outfit for the location. Then sticks with us, offering suitable ways to reconnect with potential employers after the initial interview.

What I wasn’t expecting is the first 7 chapters of her book to be dedicated toward helping develop the right frame of mind to seek a job. In fact, good portions of this book deal with what a positive frame of mind is, directions available from that, and who may really be in charge of our job hunts, us or our higher selves.

George, “Vibrations are powerful things. The road map you may have in your head as to how you are going to get from point A to point B might not be the same as the one your vibrations create for you. Vibrations work quicker than rational thinking.”

George also sheds light on how our energy or a company’s vibes may be against us from the get-go. Before I leave you with the impression that Laura George is a little too out there for job seeking, understand that I found this book intelligently written, inspiring, and greatly informative. George imparts information in such an entertaining way, we can forget we are learning, especially something that may otherwise be tedious.

George says, “The laws of attraction states that if we feel something we attract it.” She also advises that to attract the jobs we want we need to not only feel a job, but see ourselves in that job, we need both working together for things to begin working for us. She states that our days should begin by straightening out our personal positive energy flow, remembering to focus on what we are after, and of course, figuring out what it is we are after.

She stresses the importance of connecting with our “root wants,” which may be driven by emotion created when we were kids. She suggests that these unresolved emotions or needs, write a script that our energy will follow. So if we want smoother sailing to our adult desires, we really need to meditatively clean house. Damnable mental illness (reality) follows us everywhere!

George’s philiosophy is a good solid approach to job hunting and living. Truth be told life often becomes a confusing cluster of unexpected realities and emotions. When we find ourselves in positions to need, or want, to look for work, Laura’s book is an excellent companion to guide us and help us create good vibrations to seek out jobs we may even like.
