Attitude Is King!

Nothing will affect your Job Search like your attitude. The longer your job search lasts the more likely this statement may become true. You are likely to go through a roller coaster of emotions as you search for employment. You may experience the highs of earning 1st and 2nd interviews and the lows of applying to multiple jobs without receiving any communication from employers.

Here is my Top 3 Ways That Your Attitude Will Affect Your Job Search:

1. Your attitude will dictate how consistent you are in your Job Search activity. If you are not consistent in your Job Search activity you are simply adding to the length of time it will take for you to find employment.

2. A positive attitude will be noticeable to employers and likely increase your Job Search activity. The more jobs you apply to the more you increase your chances of being called for an interview. Remember that you have to get an interview before you can get a job.

3. A negative attitude will also be noticeable to employers. Sometimes a negative attitude is something that we can easily overlook. Signs that you have a negative attitude are you automatically think employers won't be interested in you even though you are qualified. You may also be carrying negative baggage from bad experiences with previous employers. You may even quit a task in your Job Search before you even begin. The best way to overcome this is to be your own toughest critic.

Your attitude is just as important as your resume in your Job Search. A poor attitude like a poor resume will eliminate you in the race to become employed.
