Making an Impression: what to read this weekend<\/strong><\/h3>\nToo often in the job hunt we reach a point where we are frustrated with the process and start becoming demanding and uncooperative.\u00a0 We forget to take employers needs into consideration or we forget that we need to be proactive and instead focus on what we deserve.\u00a0 I know I have hit that wall in the past and I am forever grateful for mentors and friends who helped me refocus and be goals oriented versus wants oriented.<\/p>\n
We have had some fabulous articles recently on similar topics and what makes these stand out is their proactive yet kind approach to both the job hunter as well as the potential employer.\u00a0 Some good reads for your weekend.<\/p>\n
