Applying for jobs can be one of the most stressful experiences in a persons life. It’s not just about filling out forms or preparing for interviews - it’s about putting yourself out there, knowing that others will evaluate your skills, experience, background and even your appearance.
For many, this process feels like constant judgement. And it doesn’t just stop at job applications, it can filter into your everyday life, creating a cycle of self-doubt that slowly chips away at confidence.
The Impact of Judgement
- In job applications: Candidates often worry about how career gaps, a change of direction, a lack of traditional experience or how they will be perceived.
- In interviews: The pressure to “perform” under scrutiny can heighten a persons nerves, leading to answers that don’t fully articulate or reflect your ability.
- In everyday routines: Feeling judged - whether at work, in your community, or even within families - can reinforce the belief that we’re “not good enough.”
Over time, this can damage confidence, their self-belief and stop talented individuals from putting themselves forward for the opportunities they deserve.
Rebuilding Confidence
At BCoached, I believe confidence can be rebuilt and strengthened through a combination of self-awareness, practice, and support. Coaching helps individuals to:
- Identify their strengths that may have been overlooked or undervalued
- Reframe their negative experiences into learning opportunities
- Develop practical strategies for applications and interviews, such as using the STAR method for competency-based questions
- Build a personal message that highlights their value and authenticity
This process allows clients to move past the weight of judgement and focus instead on their potential, skills, and unique contributions.
