How I Manifested My Dream Job Using the Law of Assumption (And How You Can Too)

The Day Everything Changed

I still remember the morning I got the email with the subject line that read:

“Congratulations! We’re excited to welcome you to the team.”

For a moment, I just stared at the screen, my heart racing. This was the dream job I had been visualizing for months—the one I thought was way out of my league, the one that seemed reserved for people with perfect résumés, shiny connections, and a stroke of luck I didn’t believe I had.

But here’s the twist: I didn’t get there through luck or even hard work alone. I got there by shifting my mindset, by stepping into a new version of myself before the job even arrived. I had used the Law of Assumption—a powerful mindset principle that teaches you to assume the reality you want is already yours—and it changed my life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your career, overlooked in interviews, or doubtful about your worth, I want to share my journey with you. Not only how I manifested my dream job but also how you can use the Law of Assumption to call in the career (or life) you desire.

The Moment I Hit Rock Bottom

Before I discovered the Law of Assumption, I was in a pretty low place career-wise.

I had been sending out résumés like candy at Halloween—hundreds of them. Most disappeared into the void of HR inboxes without so much as a rejection email. A few led to interviews, but they all ended with polite “We’ve decided to move forward with another candidate.”

I told myself things like:

“Maybe I’m just not qualified enough.”

“It’s all about who you know.”

“Good jobs are only for lucky people.”

Destroy your limiting beliefs about money and abundance here.

These beliefs didn’t just live in my mind; they shaped my actions. I applied for positions that felt “safe” instead of exciting. I downplayed my achievements in interviews because I didn’t want to sound arrogant. I walked into opportunities already assuming I’d lose them.

And guess what? I was right—every single time.

Discovering the Law of Assumption

Everything started shifting when a friend recommended Neville Goddard’s teachings, specifically the Law of Assumption.

The premise is simple but radical:

👉 What you assume to be true becomes your reality.

Instead of hoping, wishing, or praying for something, you step into the state of already having it. You assume it’s yours. You live, act, and think from the perspective of the person who already has the life you want.

At first, I thought this sounded like wishful thinking on steroids. But something inside me whispered, What if this actually works?

So, I decided to experiment.

How I Applied the Law of Assumption

Here’s exactly how I used the Law of Assumption to land my dream job.

1. I Got Clear on What I Wanted

Instead of just saying “I want a better job,” I defined it clearly. I wrote in my journal:

“I work in a creative, collaborative environment.”

“My job pays me enough to live comfortably and travel.”

“I feel valued and respected at work.”

That level of clarity mattered. It turned a vague wish into a vision I could step into.

2. I Built a New Inner Story

Every night before bed, I imagined myself opening an email that said, “Congratulations, you’re hired.” I felt the rush of excitement in my body. I pictured myself celebrating with friends. I let my imagination run wild with the scene of already having the job.

The key wasn’t just seeing it—it was feeling it as real.

3. I Lived as “Future Me” in the Present

This was the hardest part, but it made all the difference. I asked myself daily:

How would “dream job me” walk into an interview?

What energy would “dream job me” bring to networking events?

How would “dream job me” treat herself every day?

I started showing up with quiet confidence instead of desperation. I updated my résumé with pride. I spoke about my skills as if they were genuinely valuable (because they were).

4. I Trusted the Process

There were moments when doubt crept in. Some days, it felt like nothing was working. But instead of slipping back into old beliefs, I reminded myself: It’s already done. The job is mine. It’s just unfolding in time.

The Breakthrough

A few weeks after I started practicing this daily, something shifted.

I applied to a company I had once thought was out of reach. Instead of obsessing over whether they’d like me, I told myself: They already want me. I’m a perfect fit.

When the interview came, I didn’t walk in with fear. I walked in like someone who already belonged there. I wasn’t arrogant, but I was grounded. I listened more, smiled more, and spoke with ease.

Two days later, I got that email.

Why the Law of Assumption Works

Here’s the thing: the Law of Assumption isn’t magic in the sense that it drops jobs out of the sky. It works because it reshapes your identity, and your identity shapes your actions.

When you assume you’re already worthy, you apply for jobs that reflect your value.

When you assume you’re already successful, you speak and carry yourself with confidence.

When you assume opportunities are already yours, you stop radiating desperation—and people notice.

Your outer world bends to match your inner world.

How You Can Use the Law of Assumption to Manifest Your Dream Job

Here are practical steps you can start with today:

Define your dream job clearly. Write it down in present tense (“I have a job that…”).

Create a vivid scene. Imagine what life looks like after you’ve landed the job—how you feel, what you’re doing, how you’re celebrating.

Practice nightly assumption. Before bed, replay this scene in your mind until it feels natural.

Step into the role daily. Ask, “What would the me who already has this job do today?” Then do it.

Detach from the how. Don’t obsess over which company or when it will happen. Trust it’s already done and focus on being that version of you now.

Conclusion: Your Future Self Is Waiting

Landing my dream job wasn’t just about updating my résumé or practicing interview answers (though those mattered too). It was about becoming the version of me who already had what I wanted.

The Law of Assumption gave me a new story to live by—a story where I was capable, worthy, and already chosen. And once I lived from that story, the world rearranged itself to match.

If you’re sitting at your laptop right now, frustrated by unanswered applications or doubting your worth, I want you to know this: you don’t have to wait for a miracle. You are the miracle. The job, the opportunity, the life you want—it’s already yours the moment you assume it to be.

So, close your eyes tonight and step into your dream reality. Feel it, own it, assume it. Because the moment you do, you’re not waiting for your dream job anymore—you’re living as the person who already has it.

And trust me, that makes all the difference.
