We all read about the health benefits of yoga and the many types you can practice. But what if it could actually help you land your dream gig? Writer Amber Erickson Gabbey breaks down the lessons you can learn that could benefit not only your health but your job hunt approach as well:
Flexibility is key. While you don’t have to be flexible to do yoga, it helps. The more you practice, the more flexible you become.
Job seeking is similar. Being flexible in your search and related activities will help you see open doors where you may not be looking. Sticking to a rigid job seeking routine takes impressive determination, but it could also be limiting your potential.
The universe works in strange ways. That person you didn’t stop to talk to because you had a routine to follow could’ve been a door you chose not to walk through. These proverbial doors can be anywhere.
Be open to the possibilities, be flexible in your day and remain curious about where opportunities may be hiding. Consider applying for jobs outside of your field, brainstorm how you could create your own dream job, take your search beyond the traditional job boards (Twitter, anyone?) and get out there and network.
