In life, your attitude can be a game changer and the job market is certainly no exception to this rule. The determination of the glass being half-full or half-empty can have great impact on where your career will go and how quickly it will get there.
In my line of work, we see numerous job seekers each day and I can tell you that their attitude plays a huge role in where and IF we place them with a client. We have those that complain about the amount of paperwork required during the application process. Once that’s complete, they complain about needing to call and check-in with us on a regular basis. Our recruiters quickly realize how difficult these individuals can be to work with and they hesitate to send them to our clients.
On the other hand, there are those that are a delight to have in the office. They are willing to work any job to get their foot in the door, they are anxious to do what’s necessary to be placed in a job and, most importantly, they are polite and courteous to everyone in our office from the recruiters to fellow applicants. It’s easy to see why these individuals would be a good employee, as well as the value they could add to a business. Many of them will be placed in a job almost immediately.
Life isn’t easy and it’s definitely not all roses, but sometimes you just have to smile and make the most of it. That doesn’t mean you won’t have bad days, it just means that you’ll handle them with a positive attitude and the determination that things will get better.
People are drawn to those with this frame of mind and are anxious to make them part of their organization. While education and experience are vital to getting an interview, your attitude will play a huge role in actually landing the job. So our advice of the day is this: Leave your problems at the door. Put a smile on your face and allow only positive words to leave your mouth. I promise there will be huge changes in your life if only you can make this happen on a daily basis.
