The 8 Emotional Stages of the Job Search

The 8 Emotional Stages of the Job Search

May 24, 2021

At one point in your life, you will search for a job. Many of us will search for multiple of them. New jobs come with opportunities to learn and grow; however, they also come with emotions of uncertainty and anxiety, which we may not be used to feeling. The positive emotions associated with the job search are equally balanced by the not-so positive emotions. The duration of these feelings can happen all in one day, a week, or even a month. 

You will be faced with ups and downs, not to mention the uncertainty of your future. Riley Decker Companies, The Job Center, and MOR Talent Solutions are here to help you manage and navigate those feelings! Reach out to one of our trained recruiters/staffers for advice. Remember, it is completely normal to feel this way!

  • Determined

It’s time to get this search started. Watch out world!

  • Overwhelmed

Okay, this is harder than I thought it would be. 

  • Obsessed

Wow, this job is too perfect!

  • Frustrated

This is actually really tough. How am I supposed to keep all these positions organized? Did I already apply to this one?

  • Invisible

No one is seeming to answer my emails or applications.

  • Hopeful

Finally, someone has gotten in contact with me. They want to schedule an interview!

  •  Impatient

Waiting to hear back about this interview is taking too long…

  • Ecstatic

Woohoo, I got the job!
