Your attitude can
impact your behavior. You need to carry
the right attitude. Wrong attitude leads
to poor behavior. Here’s what your need
to watch out:
1. Lack of conversation

Need to build better connection, so the more conversational
you are with contacts, the better connection you build

To build better connection through conversation:
·
Read up on
o
Happenings in your fields and industry
o
Current affairs
o
Share information
·
Being conversational at job interview is also
critical
o
People hire those they are comfortable with and
enjoy talking to
2. Waiting on others to take action

It’ you who have to take action and control the
situation to make things happen
·
When sending out resumes, don’t wait around
· Personalize your communication so that you receive
valuable information as to who and how to follow up.
·
Take a more proactive approach. Recruiters don’t find jobs for people, they
find people for jobs.
3. Not staying current
·
Be willing to experience things new and adapt to
change
·
Do research to understand core skills needed
4. Unwilling to start from the group up
·
You may have to start at the bottom and work your
way up.

Through experience you can gain the knowledge
needed to advance.
5. Me. Me
·
The resume is about the employer
·
What you can do for the employer?
·
What do you have that the employer needs?
·
How can you bring value to the employer?
6. Taking bad
·
People enjoy being around other who have a positive
attitude and outlook
·
Do no talk bad about others and complain
·
Keep ad positive attitude and talk less about the
problem and move about the solutions
