World Cup Job Seeker

If there was a World Cup for Job Seekers, would you be a contender? The World Cup draws competitors from across the globe. Most of these athletes have prepared for years fine tuning their skills, physical and mental abilities, agility and endurance.

 

The competition you face as a Job Seeker is increased due to the Internet advertising available job opportunities to a global audience. World Cup Broadcasters keep referring to the favored teams, the dullest teams, the teams who need the most help and the most energetic teams. Two countries blamed their lackluster performance on the artificial turf.

If someone had to describe your job search efforts this past week, would they describe you as the favored to get a job offer, the dullest, the person needing the most help or the most energetic? If you did NOT achieve positive results this past week, did you evaluate what YOU could change or did you blame it on the artificial turf?

 

The African vuvuzela has been a distraction for broadcasters as well as some of the athletes and fans. What has distracted you this past week? Are you tuning out distractions and putting the same effort into your job search as an athlete would put in for a major competition?

 

If your answer is NO - today is the day to refocus your commitment to your search. Employers are hiring and you need to prepare, fine tune your skills, tune out distractions and focus on scheduling interviews.

Today's Tip:  Body language is a very important element of any interview. Your words may be right on target, but your body language could prevent you from being hired. Eye contact is extremely important during an interview and so are the other non-verbal messages you are sending by your handshake, posture and composure.
