面霸:積極態(tài)度叩開求職成功之門
來源:網(wǎng)絡(luò)發(fā)布時間:2009-10-14
Searching for a job is a roller coaster ride!找工作就像坐過山車!
There are some days when you are flying high and there are other days when you are in a free fall and your stomach is in your throat.
有些時候,你會興奮不已,而有時候你的心情又會一落千丈。
Having a positive attitude is the one thing that will support your entire job search process.
保持積極的態(tài)度,這將是對你整個找工作過程都有幫助的一種心態(tài)。
If you’re attitude isn’t right, you don’t want to do research, you don’t want to networking and you can’t interview because recruiters can sniff out a bad attitude about 7 miles away!
如果你的態(tài)度不正確,你就不想搜索信息,不想社交,進而不能參加面試,因為招募者在7英里之外就能“嗅到”到你的消極態(tài)度!
In January 2009, 4.5 million Americans landed a job and in February 2009, 4.4 million Americans got jobs. Be one of them by using these strategies for keeping your attitude where it needs to be … in the positive column:
2009年1月,450萬美國人尋找工作,而在2009年2月份,440萬美國人找到了工作。利用下面這些策略,可以使自己保持積極態(tài)度,從而成為成功求職者中的一員:
Take care of yourself inside & out: As Fernando Llamas and Billy Crystal used to say “it’s better to look good than to feel good” … so aim for both because not looking your best will affect your attitude! Even if it’s just a 30 minute walk every day, those endorphins will kick in and you will feel better. If you are cost conscious & want to skip hair cuts or getting rid of some premature grey hair, there are low cost alternatives.
全方位的打理好自己:就像費爾南多•拉馬斯(Fernando Llamas)和比利•克里斯特爾(Billy Crystal)曾說過的那樣:“看起來不錯比自我感覺良好更重要”……因此,力爭在這兩個方面都表現(xiàn)良好,因為如果你不對自己提最高的要求,那將會影響你的態(tài)度!即使只是每天步行30分鐘,那些內(nèi)啡肽也將會被排除,從而使你感覺更好。如果你有成本意識,避免將來用各種方法去掉一些過早斑白的頭發(fā),你可以找一些低成本的替代選擇。
Positive in, positive out: You should read the paper to keep up on what is going on, but stay away from the crime stats, bankruptcy filings, and the like. Watch movies that are uplifting. Read books that are positive and encouraging. Do not spend time with negative people as they are like crabs in a bucket. As Al Pacino said in Godfather III: “every time I try to get out they pull you back!”
營造良好正面的環(huán)境:你要看報紙,了解正在發(fā)生的時事,但要遠離犯罪統(tǒng)計,企業(yè)破產(chǎn)申報等消息。看一些令人振奮的電影,讀一些令人保持積極狀態(tài)并受到鼓舞的書籍。不要和消沉的人在一起浪費時間,因為他們就像水桶里的螃蟹。就像艾爾•帕西諾(Al Pacino)在《教父3》中所說:“每一次我要離開都被他們拉了回去!”
Network: Networking is about developing a long term, mutually beneficial relationship of give & take, with the emphasis on the “give”. Try these open ended questions and you’ll start to meet a lot of people who will think very positively about you & keep you in mind should they hear about any openings: a) how did you get in the X business?, b) what do you enjoy doing most about what you do?, c) what separates your company from the competition, d) what significant changes have taken place in your profession through the years?, e) what do you see as the trends in your business? Ask them and see what type of response you get. I’ll guarantee you, use any 2 of these questions, and you’ll not even to a third. They are that powerful. And remember the follow up to these questions: LISTEN!
社交,營建關(guān)系網(wǎng):社交就是要營造一種長期、互惠的付出/收獲的關(guān)系,且重點在于“付出”。試著回答這些開放式問題,你馬上就會遇到很多人,他們將非常積極地看待你,或者在聽說任何空缺職位的時候都會想到你:1)你是如何進入某一行的?2)就現(xiàn)在你做的事情而言,你最喜歡的地方是?3)你的公司與競爭對手的區(qū)別在哪里?4)這些年來,你的職業(yè)生涯發(fā)生了哪些顯著的變化?5)你這行有什么趨勢?你可以問問他們這些問題,看看會得到什么類型的答案。我向你保證,詢問這些問題中的任何2個,你甚至不用問到第3個。它們的作用超級強大。要記住接下來你要做的事情:傾聽!
Good listeners are few and far between and they will be remembered.
好的傾聽者是不常遇到的,他們將會被記住。
Join a job search support group or power group. Find other people that are in the same situation you are in, and meet once a week to support one another and trade leads and tips, and help to troubleshoot what may not be going well. But make sure it’s a positive group. I’ve seen an emergence of these groups lately … so check your local paper. In my neighborhood in Staten Island, New York, St. Clare’s Church has an Employment Group that meets every Tuesday from 7 – 9 pm. If you can’t find a local group, think of creating one yourself, or join a virtual group on LinkedIn.com. There are at least two dozen groups that share info virtually.
加入求職者支援團體:尋找和你有類似狀況的人,一星期聚會一次,互相打氣,交換機會信息和秘訣,相互排憂解難。但是,要確保你加入的是一個積極的團體。最近,我已經(jīng)看到了這種團體的出現(xiàn)……因此,搜索你當?shù)氐膱蠹埌伞T谖宜诘募~約史泰登島上,圣•克萊爾教堂有個就業(yè)團體,每周二下午7點到9點聚會。如果你不能找到一個本地的團體,那就考慮自己建立一個,或在LinkedIn.com網(wǎng)站上加入一個虛擬團體。事實上,那里至少有20多個團體在分享信息。
Attitude is everything! If it’s not right, you cannot possibly conduct a proactive and effective job search. Do what you need to do to get it right. Sometimes, people need to get the negative thoughts out … speak them to a good friend, write them down on a piece of paper, and be done with it. Life is short! Get your attitude right and get that job!!
態(tài)度決定一切!如果不是這樣地話,你就不可能進行積極、有效地求職工作。做你需要做的事情并把它做好。有時候,人們需要避開消極的思想……把那些消極的思想向好朋友傾訴,寫在紙上,然后與之拜拜。人生苦短,矯正態(tài)度去工作吧!
