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."

yup, that was why i never was without work long also. times when desire will outweigh both experience and knowledge with the boss.
one more thing i learned was to sell yourself as person who intends to be an asset to the company instead of that company being a means to enhance your assets.
