Finding Jobs on Your Own
Some people believe that the difference between those who find jobs and those who do not is simply luck, but this is not normally the case. Those who find jobs are successful because they know how to conduct an effective job search. They devise a thorough plan and have a good strategy.
Positive Attitude
Looking for a job is matter of attitude. Assume a positive attitude. Remember, as a student or graduate you are now looking for the job you want. People who have already decided they do not have a chance, are not likely to succeed. Rate the following statements "True" or "False", taking note of those that rated false, determining what you might do to improve.

I have fulfilled some of my personal goals.
I consciously work toward achieving my goals.
I know what obstacles may stand between me and my goals and have devised a plan to get around them.

I am confident the career program I have now is helping me reach that objective.
