Don’t step on any cracks in the sidewalk – it’s Friday the
13th! While you’re steering clear of black cats and walking around
(not under!) any ladders, I searched the internet for some of the different
superstitions related to your career search!
Lucky Items: It
might be a lucky interview suit, a rabbit’s foot you keep in your pocket, even
a special pair of slippers that you wear whenever you’re searching for job
postings online!
Actions: You know
that saying “it’ll happen when you least expect it”? Some take this to extremes
with their career search as well – even turning off the ringer of their phone
when waiting for a call from an employer! (I’m not so sure about this one… I
wouldn’t want to miss that phone call!)
Rituals: Do you
have a set routine for the morning before an interview? A specific thing you
eat? I read on a blog that someone always sleeps with a glass of water
underneath their bed.
One of my little superstitions is that for an interview, I
don’t bring anything with me except a portfolio with my resume, a notepad, pen,
and my car key. There’s no rhyme or reason as to why, but I feel more confident
when I don’t have a lot of additional items with me—maybe it’s because I feel I
already have all the tools I need!
