BACK to BASICS
Many job hunters today get scared and forget to do the basics.
They forget to smile. They forget to dress for success. They forget to confirm their appointment. They forget to allow enough time to arrive at an interview early. They forget to sign in upon arrival and ask where the bathroom is so that they can check their appearance. They forget to do research about the company and the person they are visiting. They forget to review their notes about the company and the job they are considering.
Organizing Your Job Search
Disorganized and undisciplined people can be successful, but our chances of finding work increase dramatically when we use systems to organize our job search.
The current uproar that Amy Chua and her opinions about disciplined Chinese mothers have caused illustrates my point perfectly. Too many people today believe that the world owes them a job and a living. It doesn't. And we all need meaningful work to be happy and productive human beings.
