Being, acting, or thinking negative. The problem with negative people is that they seldom realize how terribly negative they really are. They may have good business skills, but they stay unemployed a long time and can't figure out why. Waiting for something to happen. Successful people make them happen.
Effort usually equals results.
As a rule, the harder you work at a job search, the sooner it ends. Thinking they're more marketable than they are. Declining job offers that pay less than the last job or are somehow inferior. It's often best to accept a weaker offer and leverage up from there. Taking rejection personally.
