There is no situation more important to your career than the job search. Securing that next position usually requires help—lots of it. So be sure to thank everyone who supports you. We humans crave appreciation, so it’s important to show others you are grateful for what they have done on your behalf. Doing so is a particular priority in these pandemic days, when people crave that emotional connection. Showing gratitude will also make you feel happier. Studies show that when we express gratitude, we activate regions of our brain that release dopamine and serotonin—known as our “bliss” neurochemicals.
