Even when things seem to be at their worst, try to keep a positive attitude. This attitude will show through when you go to interviews and you only have to impress one interviewer to get that job. Never let yourself form the attitude of “They aren’t going to hire me anyway so why bother.” When you plant that poison in your mind you have set yourself up for failure. Every failure after this is the result of that attitude which only gives justification to strengthen the attitude. The person with this attitude never realizes the attitude itself comes through in their interviews and this negative attitude is why they are not being hired. Finding a job is difficult anyway so you must expect it to be. It does not matter how many it takes, what is important is that you keep at it and you work to improve at each interview. Eventually it will pay off. One of the worst mistakes you can make is to walk into a business and ask ‘are you hiring’ or ‘do you have any jobs, I’ll do anything’. Companies do not want people who will do anything. They want people who are interested in the company and willing to do a good job. They want people who are motivated and interested in something specific. Now, I know no one dreams of working as a janitor or in food preparation at a restaurant where they chop carrots all night and no one studies to become a waitress. But, those jobs require skills and the person who is a team player and wants to work at that specific business is more likely to be hired. If you are trying for a job as a waitress or waiter then say you enjoy being with people and love good food and a lively atmosphere. If you know of a job in food service, telling a potential employer that you just want to pay your rent is not motivating for them and it sounds like you are just there to pick up a paycheck. No intelligent business owner will hire you if he thinks you are only there for him to give you money. He wants people who will work together with his team and people who want to do a good job they can be proud of at the end of the day. If the job is in food prep then open by telling the owner that you are interested in being a chef someday and trying to break into food so you can learn.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1484161785\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1484161785.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Campbell, Calvin L.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43086812119101,"sku":"BVV.1484161785.VG","price":16.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1484161785-0.jpg?v=1775337517","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/job-seekers-handbook-how-not-to-think-like-the-crowd-with-your-job-search","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
