Job Genius
So, it's official; the last four jobs that I have wanted and gone after, I have gotten. Granted, I was qualified for them, but mainly I attribute my success to one thing: persistance. You see, a lot of people are qualified for what I am doing (errr, a lot in my field that is) but I stood out because I made it a point that they heard from me on a consistant basis. That's right folks, plain ol' stalking. Seriously. Oddly enough, it works and this is why: people love to feel wanted. A job also likes to know you want to be there. The person who calls the most appears the most dedicated to working there, translating in the employer's brain to "the most dedicated" perspective employee. You know, even if this doesn't work... it seems to; so as the old saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
