2. Quickness on their feet – How will you as a job seeker deal with an unhappy customer?
3. An eye on the prize – What process is used to make a difficult decision?
4. Good sportsmanship – Integrity and truthfulness are essential to an organization’s success.
5. Stay optimistic – Accentuate the positive!
6. Join a social networking site – A job seeker should consider joining Linkedln, Facebook, or Twitter.
7. Attend a professional/trade association meeting – Meetings provide important networking opportunities.
8. Ask for more duties – One should welcome opportunities to shine!
9. Join a workplace committee – One should volunteer time to serve others.
10. Look at an organization’s goals and compare them to your own goals – Will this employer be a good fit for you?
