Build your adaptability
Identify your strengths and skills, and use them in your daily work as much as possible. Knowing that you’re good at what you’re doing will make you naturally more energized and confident. Identify your weaknesses and work on correcting them. Don’t focus on them, but accept and consciously take steps to improve those things to feel empowered and, yes, confident
Exude confidence
Today’s employers are looking for employees with the potential for continuous development, particularly if the acquired knowledge and skills can be useful across job roles. You may assume that you know how to learn. It’s true; we’re learning all the time. However, to hone the skill of learning, you have to evaluate each new piece of information to assess its value to your bank of knowledge before deciding whether to keep it.Consciously curating your knowledge leaves room for more meaningful learning; doing this regularly will help you to continuously develop and become invaluable to employers

He must hate me.” into “My boss is struggling today. How can I use my skill set to help?”Give yourself a break, and while you’re at it, give other people a break. Focus on what you possess that can improve a situation rather than focusing on how bad the situation is
