Know What You Want
You should be perfectly clear of what you want. Don't give
yourself vague objectives such as "any job that pays."
Make your
objectives and goals very definite and specific. Your first step
to getting a successful job is knowing
precisely what you want.
Ask yourself this question and write down the answer on a sheet
of paper.
Expect The Best But Prepare For Adversity
Always expect success, but prepare for the bad things in life.
Adversity happens to the best of us. Our challenge is
to conquer
adversity. Adversity is a great teacher; learn its lessons well.
Remember, if you haven't been through
bad times, you are far from
success.
Be Positive
When you create a "win,win, win" attitude, you will start to win.
When you start to think positively, everything
around you will be
positive. Whatever you expect to take place will take place. If
you want things to be good,
they will be good. You are the master
of your destiny.
Destiny DOES NOT rule you.
Be Confident
You must have confidence in yourself. If you are not confident in
yourself, people will not be confident in you.
People admire and
respect confident people. You will even admire and respect
yourself more. If you have doubts
about yourself, other people
will have doubts about you, also.
Action Is The Key
Do whatever you have to do to get where you want to. Commit
yourself to action. Don't put off your plans, start
today. The
only way you will achieve success is if you act now. You must act
now with full force if you want to
achieve your dreams. Plan to
act out your ideas today.
Visualize Your New Job
Look ahead and visualize the job you want. Tell yourself how much
you want the job and what you are willing to
do for it. Your
dreams will become your reality if you let them. Know what your
dreams are. Visualize success in
your mind so well that it is
almost real.
Be Persistent
Be persistent to do better. Anything worth doing is worth doing
again and again and again. Don't let rejection stop
you from
reaching your goals. Keep trying and you will succeed. Nobody
makes it the first time. Try over and
over again and don't stop
until you get what you want. There is no going back.
It's Going To Cost You
Nobody gets a free ride. If you want something, you must pay for
it. It is going to be hard to get what you want,
but it will be
well worth it when you are successful. The best things in life
are the hard things.
Other People Can help You
People will help you to get
where you want to go. You will never
make it alone easily. People can teach you and
help you become a
better person. Listen to other people--you will learn from them.
If someone helps you, don't
forget to reward him/her.
Demand A Lot
When you demand a lot, you get a lot. Your expectations of others
and yourself will become a reality if you
expect them to be real.
What you expect to happen, will happen. If you push yourself
hard, you will start to see
results. demand and you will receive.
Where To Look For A Job

and trade journals. Find out where
government jobs are listed and
then try out for a state, local or federal job. Check with your
state employment

schools have job placement centers, check with them. The
secretaries of civic organizations and the Chamber of Commerce
may have some leads for you You may be able
to get a job by going
to a job fair. If you are a minority or need special assistance,
you may be able to get help
finding a job from special interest
groups. Check at your public library for further information.

be able to get you job leads. Ask relatives and
friends if they
