His resume reveals good, but not outstanding grades. An athletic scholarship. A respectable, but not prestigious law school. It's this exceptional quality that propels him, helping him overcome whatever difficulties stand in his way. Traits like Bob's don't automatically come with a law degree.
Recruiters know it.
They prize Bob's self-esteem, aware that it's essential for a successful career. No single factor is as important to career success as self-esteem. People with healthy self-esteem have a basic sense of their own competence and worth, a fundamental certainty about their ability to cope with problems and adversity. Individuals with secure self-esteem take responsibility for their actions, insist on living up to their own standards and seek the stimulation of demanding goals. Confidence grows from solid feelings of self-acceptance.
