For our new college graduates, congratulations on reaching a BIG milestone! Here’s my gift to you:
Tip: When applying for your big boy/big girl jobs, apply to positions that you would LOVE to do, jobs that would make you happy. Just because you don’t have the experience, doesn’t mean you can’t apply for the position. What have you got to lose? 15-20 minutes (depending on the length of the application, haha!) of your time? The worst case scenario? An answer resulting in “No.”
What are you waiting for? GO FOR IT!

  • “ Oh, but we have come a long, long way in the evolution of the resume. Objective statements (what I want) are passé and have evolved into marketing statements (what you, the employer wants that I have) and we’ve learned that mass mailings don’t work ”

  • How to Plan Your Future?

    magforwomen:

    2. Clear the debts

    Debts are leaches that will eventually suck your life. So, the first objective of making/planning a better future involves clearing off your outstanding debts, and to avoid making them again. This will help you keep your mind calm and clean, and give you more space to think about other things.

I work with an amazing guy who without fail, comes into the office with a smile on his face, a tune on his lips, and a big, “Howdy!” every morning (when he’s not traveling of course). His whole attitude completely changes my mindset for the day. I found it really weird in the beginning, but then I realized that I had worked around people who chose to not “think happy.”
He thinks happy and therefore, he’s always in a happy mood.
This is the attitude we need to take when going to work each day. If we think happy, we will be happy.
