Take the Next Important Step to Landing that Job – Step 2

In the last article How to Stay Positive in a Job Search, we discussed the importance of a positive attitude in the job search.

If you do not have a positive attitude, if you are not looking forward to the next opportunity with hope- filled anticipation, do not start your job search; you will be sabotaging your own job search efforts. Instead, work on your attitude until you choose a positive attitude.

If you have given yourself time to process the loss of the job and are looking forward to the next opportunity, then you are ready for the next important step to landing that job - Step 2.
