A place where you can learn, grow take

You Are Focused on the Wrong Things: Vacation time, sick days, flexible work from home schedules, summer hours, and if there are any good restaurants nearby for lunch. If you are asking about any of these during a first interview, or using these as criteria to turn down initial meetings or potential opportunities, you might want to re-evaluate your search filters. Employers are looking for candidates who actually want to work for them. They will see right through you if you are more concerned about how you can get out of the office, rather than how you will make an impact while you’re there.

You Listen Too Much To Others: Your dad said that you should ask for a 50% salary increase because you are underpaid. Your best friend said you should play hard to get – “if they really want you they’ll do anything to get you.” Your benin whatsapp phone number spouse said that you should turn down the offer because there won’t be enough work-life balance. The Glassdoor reviews (by a former employee) said that it’s a demanding place to work and they wouldn’t recommend the company. So, what do YOU think? Do you have enough information to actually make a decision? Do these “advisors” know the companies you are applying/talking to? Furthermore, do your friends and relatives even know anything about your industry? Mentors and sounding boards are great – just make sure they are knowledgeable and objective.

You Don’t Know What You Want: You just need a job and you’re open to anything, right? So, you’ll clean toilets, get your boss’ coffee and work the graveyard shift? See, you aren’t open to anything. Take a moment, stop randomly applying to every new post you see on CareerBuilder, Monster, Indeed and Craigslist, and get some focus. Once you hone in on an industry or two, you’re sure to start making some real headway.

You Just Aren’t That Into It: Job searching is a real commitment. If you don’t put much into it, you won’t get much out. If you really want something new, show it. Be proactive. Be persistent. Be present.

Frankly Speaking: There are a lot of great opportunities out there for job-seekers today. Figure out what you want and go after it. Be honest with yourself about your strengths, abilities and priorities. Listen to your own intuition. Be selective, but not too picky. Ask for what you want, but know your industry and be reasonable. Don’t let your pride get in your way, and find on new challenges and be recognized for your hard work.
