Job Search Tip#1 - Understanding the Competitive Environment(Contd.)

6. You must challenge your fears.

7. Think about it. Most people are dissatisfied with their jobs simply because they are trying to solve the right problem for the wrong employer.

 8. Don't wait for someone to call you and give you a job. Invest in yourself and seek for opportunities to solve problems.

9. Life is how you look at it and what you make of it. You attitudes and perceptions will determine your actions. You have to be "inverse paranoid" to succeed in a competitive environment. Inverse paranoid, according to Sola O. 2006, means to believe that everything in life is conspiring together to help you succeed.



10. Nothing is impossible if you try hard.

11. The desire to grow and to make the most of ourselves lies within us. We all have a purpose to fulfill and this picture is painted to us by our ambitions.

To be continued....
