Keep Trying
“The number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying.”
Tom Hopkins
Natural Curiosity
“A natural curiosity and interest in solving problems aids good consultants in getting to grips with their client’s needs. The ability to listen and ask good questions are traits associated with successful consultants.”
Tim Cook
Success
“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”
Dale Carnegie
Resumes
Keep your resume error free. It is deceptively easy to make mistakes on your resume and exceptionally difficult to repair the damage once an employer gets it. As well as checking your spelling and grammar, make sure your employment dates match up and you have provided your current contact information.
Opportunities
“Every day we’re given opportunities, some of us see them and some are too busy to notice.”
Rachael Bermingham
Helping Hand
Offer to lend a hand (yes, even if it’s something you would not normally do). Remember, the people you work with, especially your direct report see and hear things regularly.
Professionalism
Maintain professionalism – at all costs! Small world/smaller industry.
Interest and Commitment
“There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”
Ken Blanchard
