When Opportunity Knocks

Everyday people leave the workforce because they retire, are fired, quit, or are permanently downsized. This revolving cycle represents tomorrow's job opportunities. Will you be prepared to take advantage of the next job opportunity that comes your way?

When Opportunity Knocks you must be prepared to respond quickly. To ensure that you are ready you will need a well-written resume as I listed in my previous blog titled "Ingredients For A Successful Job Search". You will also need to be prepared to answer and ask interview questions . Asking questions at the interview allows you to investigate in advance to determine if the employer will be a good fit for you. I also recommend that you take time to familiarize yourself with your potential employer's website. Read and retain information that attracts you to the employer.

When Opportunity Knocks you are obligated to make the most of the opportunity. Prepare for your opportunity by making sure that you have proper interview attire. Focus on being neat and clean because you will be judged partially on how you present yourself. Remember like the cliche says you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Lastly, When Opportunity Knocks you have to maintain a positive attitude. Holding on to the memories of past employment nightmares will keep you stagnant. Let those memories and feelings go, so that you can let employers meet the best you!
