Attitude is a Choice
Companies can be like referees.
Maybe they make the wrong call, they become temporarily blinded, or they don’t respond to your requests.
The question becomes, are you going to get mad at them?
Are you going to complain to that referee (the hiring manager)?
You can if you want. But it probably won’t help.
Instead, what if you processed your feelings, then just moved on to creating more value?
You always have a choice in attitude and mindset.

From this one post she achieved two leads for marketing jobs, and a personal connection to legendary marketer Christopher Lochhead.
She wrote about the experience here. And here is the Tweet.
