"Look at the donut, not the hole." ...age-old advice from one of my former coaches, reminding us to look at what we have, not what we don't


Remember, Babe Ruth may have been one of the great homerun hitters of all time, but he also struck out a lot, too. The job search is just like that, especially in this economy. Keep getting back up there and swinging for the fence!


"The majority of the word 'can't' is can." ...attributed to Betty Weaver, former CSB school director

Tuesday's Leads--Get Some Perspective

While the picture to the left is humorous, it does illustrate the idea of perspective and how it affects everything.  For example, what looks like a delicious meal to one person, might be a "horror movie" to someone else.  So, too, is it with job search.  Every job we apply to, every interaction we have with a potential employer, every interview or phone call we take has the power to alter our perspective--and that of the potential employer.  Thus, it is important that we as job seekers create the best possible impression, that we are "selling" ourselves as hard working, skilled, and positive candidates.  Likewise, we need to make sure we don't judge potential employers too quickly, that we keep things in the right perspective as well.  Keeping the right perspective is the first step to staying positive and "keeping it real."  
Now go get 'em!  Have a great day!
