My experiment: Manifest a job

[LifeFirst]

I'm now in Japan officially.

Now I need to find a job.

Using LOA, attraction, visualization, meditation, whatever I can in order to find a decent job in Tokyo.


A job where I can be in international business with my economics degree, or something in finance, even in sales and marketing would do.

Also, I want to manifest an abundance of great supporting friendships, money, good feelings, happiness, and success....and most importantly, having a great relationship with my girlfriend.

[Leesah]

So you just moved out there recently? Congrats! I hope it's everything you wanted it to be Good luck with the job etc. I recommend joining a facebook group, if one exists, for... something to do with Tokyo. I spent time in Barcelona and was able to meet friends via the I love Barcelona facebook page. There are probably many other ways to meet friends too, but just sharing what helped me.

[Cochonette]

Good idea! I need to manifest a job, too. :P

How much japanese do you speak? If the answer is "not that much", getting in touch with your embassy, chamber of commerce, various expat networking groups and international cooperation institutions would be the first step I'd take.

Get a stack of meishi and start handing them around!

Enjoy Tokyo, it's my favorite city in the world!

[LifeFirst]

I speak fluent Chinese and English, my Japanese is good too....I will be fluent in a year...I promise you that.


But how do you in get in touch with the chamber of commerce.

I'm a bit wary of Expat communities though....but I will give it a try.

You might find yourselves manifesting more powerfully if you create out of free choice, rather than need.

Okay then. I need to find a job or else I will end up homeless. So I choose to, err, "manifest" a job.

Hi LifeFirst,

Congrats on your move

I would take the word "need" out of your quote. It might be generating a feeling of desperation on a subconscious level - words are that powerful - which could push job opportunities away from you instead of attracting them.

Other than that practice honing your mental tools daily, if not on an hourly basis.

All the best!

You can manifest out of need, rather than choice, but my experience is that it's just not as powerful and it doesn't feel wonderful. Many people do choose to create that way, though! Often from an unconscious boredom, a desire for the drama or excitement, like a student who puts off studying until the night before a test.

Creating a false dichotomy for yourself -- "Either I find a job OR I end up homeless" is not really a free choice; it's a rock and a hard place -- a limiting decision. And again, it is possible to manifest a rock or a hard place, but it's a fairly limiting and powerless position to put yourself into.

[James81]

Do you want to find a job? Or create one?

That doesn't mean you have to start your own business, either. But there are a plethora of already established businesses that very much need what you have to offer if you can show them that what you have to offer is valuable.

Why not go ahead and look around, see places that seem like they'd be nice to work, and then walk in and give them a rundown of what you have to offer and what value you can contribute to them based on the experience you have.

Well, I'm a fresh college graduate, just graduated 1.5 years ago.


But I would love to tell them what I have to offer....

The way I see it, it can't HURT you to do that. Just because they don't have a help wanted sign in the door, doesn't mean that they don't have a need that needs filled.

If you're going to do this, though, I WOULD suggest researching the company/place a little bit just so you know a bit about them and can tailor your stuff to meet their specific need.

[Halffull]

Seems more fun to actually go out and get a job, instead of waiting for it to come to you. LOA, visualization, meditation, are all key to setting goals, but I've found them to work much better when combined with proper planning, action, and motivation strategies.

[LifeFirst]

Alright, I've send out many resumes and also done a lot of LOA and visualization....just do it whenever I think of it.

And even though I've had some rejections, I finally have a party interested in me. I'm gonna have an interview next week. I want this to be the one, I want to succeed.

Now, as far as meeting friends....I've signed up on meetup.com. I've tried to go to the meetings, but as for now I do not have a cellphone, I still tried to meet but I would just get lost and have no idea how to reach the other members since I didn't have a phone. I tried the pay phone and I haven't a clue how they worked....

[aelle]

I had a lot of success meeting people through meetup.com in Tokyo. I got involved with the vegan meetup group and had a great time. If you have a hard time finding your way around the city, I absolutely recommend getting the "Tokyo City Atlas" from any bookstore. It's a golden investment, especially if you don't have a cellphone to access maps.

And I don't remember it being hard getting a cellphone - do you need your alien registration card for that? No prepaid? And public phones work either with coins or prepaid cards that you can buy in combinis. The rest is explained on the phone themselves.

[LifeFirst]

Well I need to be employed first.

Don't know how I can get a phone without money....unless I steal one.

[LifeFirst]

What was to be a day of excitement, encouragement, a day of sunshine and friendly weather turned into a day of absolute dread, frustration, apathy, agony, and a day where the sky sweated rain in my presence....


I finally had an interview today. After days of LOAing, manifesting, visualizing, positivity, sending out positive vibrations, being outgoing, being active and aggressive.

You can't imagine my excitement. Yesterday I went to scout the place, bought a suit, shoes, and this morning went to get a haircut so I can knock their socks off for this interview.

I left an hour earlier, wishing it could have been hour and a half but preparation is more important than anything. I just rushed out the door grabbing my suitcase and everything with it.

Got off at the station, went out with 15 minutes left......and my mind just went blank right then and there.....


I completely forgot where the company was located at. Yes, I wrote the address down, I brought the map with me. Everything. I frantically ran around asking some random guys, some taxi drivers. All gave me some vague answers, some had no clue.....all they said was "somewhere around here".

I started panicking immediately, I went to the same place that I scouted, yep this looks like it....except one thing......this place was RIGHT NEXT to the subway EXIT that I just got out of..

WTF?????

Are you KIDDING ME????? ALL THIS RUNNING AROUND AND IT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE SUBWAY STATION????

SO at this point....I was COMPLETELY lost...I had NO CLUE where I was...where I was supposed to go.

The clock was ticking....4:45....4:50.....5:00

game over.....game absolutely over...

My interview was at 4:45


And lo and behold....I couldn't even find the interview place.


I couldn't even find the place.

I stood there looking like an idiot, panicking like a fool which did me no good. At that point, I became distraught....couldn't believe what was happening. No idea what to do.

I didn't have a cellphone, so I couldn't call them.

So, not wanting to lose everything....I still tried my best to look for the place.

And after 2 hours of frantic, pathetic, apathetic searching, I found it..... a ******* small-ass building devoured by the large buildings RIGHT NEXT TO THE ******* SUBWAY STATION.


It was the ultimate slap in my face.


So now I'm just thinking.....thinking about what I don't know.....but TRYING me best to control my thoughts.

I just can't even.....


WHAT KIND OF BELIEFS DO I HOLD THAT IT WON'T EVEN ALLOW ME TO FIND THE INTERVIEW PLACE?????????

WHY DON'T I HAVE A PHONE?????


THe thing is....I have another interview tomorrow....

My mind is a mess right now....and I can't focus.

But I will keep on going


I will...

Will....

I will...

I will succeed

I will succeed

I will succeed

I will succeed


I don't care


I already sent them a letter of apology telling them what happened....

I want them to give me another chance...that's all I want.



I don't even know what to tell my parents, my girlfriend, my friends who are all expecting me to say some good news...

who are all excited about this interview that I had....


Is Life playing a joke on me?

Is God telling me that I'm not good enough for the job?

Is the Law of Attraction telling me I wasn't supposed to find the place?

Was the entire thing a set-up?

WHY couldn't I find the place??

Can someone please help me?

Thank you.

Here's the part that stood out to me.

the initial blankness that happened the moment you stepped out of the subway and all the confusion that ensued afterward.

What were you thinking in that moment? Can you remember? Were you nervous?

[LifeFirst]

I was feeling excited, confident, a little bit nervous....just normal I guess...I was a bit in a hurry though.

And the minute I stepped out ....I was like "sooo....where was this place again? DAMMIT!"

Did your perception of the interview change once you stepped off the train?

[LifeFirst]

No my perception didn't change....

I just couldn't find the place....and my mood just became worse and worse...

since this was almost the perfect job for me.

[HypnoMama]

Visualize yourself succeeding in getting the job. See yourself saying all the right things, making all the right moves, wearing the right clothes. See your personality being so light and easy to talk to.

Also seeing the possibilitity you will do whatever it takes! With certainty and command.

If you can't visualize this then you have not learned anything in personal developement. Good luck.

[LifeFirst]

Hello guys

Thank you everyone for your support.


So far, I've told you guys that I had 2 interviews last week. One of them in which I couldn't even find the place.

But lo and behold, I sent them an e-mail discussing the situation, and they were glad to re-schedule the interview.

While that's great and all.....so I was pumped, ready, and was prepared to knock their socks off.

The problem immediately came when I went to the interview.....

the whole thing was a pyramid scheme....it was a corrupt company.

AND they won't provide you with a work visa unless you've stringed along enough clients...

what kind of rip-off is that??


Anyways, about the second interview.

I'm truly blessed to have two interviews in a week.

Now THIS was a legit company, people were nice, really cool people.

However, I didn't prepare enough for this one simply my mind was just cluttered that day.

I know, no excuse.

And although I had a great discussion....I messed up on the Japanese part when they were interviewing me.

And some technical questions that I wasn't able to answer.

And they rejected me....but it was a good experience.



So now....back to the drawing board.....

And I'm definitely willing to try and be open to more things.

I'm just grateful that I had 2 interviews already here.

[LifeFirst]

Since that I was rejected.

I've been studying Japanese as hard as I can. Meaning no English (or very little...pretty much none)....just listening to Japanese...thinking in Japanese. Only visiting Japanese websites, only reading Japanese material, only watching Japanese movies. Nothing else.


Right now I've applied for another job, but this one is located in China. It still requires Japanese, and Chinese, and English.

Which I can speak all 3.

I pray, I have this job. I know I do.


I can almost feel it.

This will a great chance, a chance of a lifetime.

I do deserve it, every bit of it.

I love it.

[vladimirsan]

Good Luck What do you do exactly?

[LifeFirst]

What do you mean what do I do?

I'm still looking for a job

[vladimirsan]

I mean o.o what kind of job do you want? sales, IT, etc

[LifeFirst]

Well, I want a job in the finance field, but sales would be nice too. I have some marketing experience as well.

I can speak Chinese, Japanese, and English. So preferably in a company where I can use all three languages.

But since I graduated in Economics, I really want a job in that field, in finance.

And I would prefer my monthly salary to be at least 250,000. Of course

[ursixx]

As an American living in Sweden I know what you mean and the frustration you must be feeling .But its good that you are submersing yourself in the Japanese culture. and becoming familiar with the everyday works of that country .Payphones ect... Take your manfesting in small steps to get to the destination, manifest a good breakfast to start your day, and green lights along your journey. New magazines in the waiting room.
peace

[Caria]

Different cultures are awesome... I mean i am from South Africa. We have 11 diffrent languages and the way we do things here are different everywhere up there... But job finding there, is a bit difficult..

I always want to go overseas, but never had the chance... But one day... not now.
