Mindset for Success
Be Bold. Stop being tentative on your job hunt. You need to make it happen. So make sure you take charge and own your day!
Be Speedy. Be the first to apply. Follow up daily. Always email back immediately. Being quick and reliable is a great way to stand out on the job hunt.
Be Different. Show that you can do more than merely following direction. Take initiative. Reach out to a person. Pitch them your real self.
