How to Use Flow In The Job Search
What is "flow"? Flow as described by the
psychology professor and educator,
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, is a state of being and
behavior. The behavior is one of complete absorption
in a task. It is a transcendent state of being. An example would be of a musician whose
playing causes the person playing to lose
sight of time, place & circumstances.
Some people have called this a "divine rapture". How can a job seeker find "flow"? More often
there is tension, worry, frustration, anger, despair.
It sounds as if a rapturous state of mind is
beyond comprehension as one looks for a job. There are all of the preparatory steps: A resume,
filling in applications, interviews and phoning.
These are necessary functions of the job
search. But what if a person looking for a job could
see a larger picture; one in which he or she
moves towards non-worry and does "go with
the flow" of events, putting the negativity of
being rejected or stressed into a state of
inner knowing that he/she is doing everything
right? "Flow" sounds right for the job seeker to
use. It could make the current job search the best
one of all. c, 2004 Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A.
