Negative attitudes attract negative results. Positive attitudes attract positive results. Life is not what happens to you, but how you respond to it. You are in charge of your attitude. Our attitude, whether positive or negative, shows in the job search process.
Many employers say attitude is more important than experience or education.
They often use attitude as the tie breaker between two equally qualified candidates. We cannot change the past or how others act, but we can change our attitude. If we learn to manage our attitudes, we will not feel paralyzed, and the benefits will follow. Whether you are unemployed, underemployed, employed but looking for a new job, entering the workforce for the first time, or entering the workforce after a long absence, you are facing change. Change causes transition, and transition starts with an ending.
