Hello to my followers. I hope you are well today as we move coser to the holiday season. With the holiday season comes stress. Stress can be our worst enemy especially in long line ups either at the post office or at the mall.
That got me to thinking that those that are out of work will around the holidays will most likely be even more stressed. I urge you to take time out and destress. I also suggest that when you are out on your shopping excursions that you be mindful of how you treat others. You never know who the sales clerk you are getting frustrated at is related to.
When you are on a job search, please be respectful at all times to everyone you come into contact with. That includes online contact. Before you post anything on your blog, facebook page or twitter account, think if what you are posting is professional or not. Ask yourself that quesiton before you post to be on the safe side. I have heard of cases where people have either been fired on not been hired because of their online image or even just a simple post that wasn't appropriate.
When you go for lunch, be nice to the sandwhich artist at Subway. When you take a taxi, say thank you and smile politely. Remember to leave enough of a tip. When you are in the line up to mail your greeting cards, make a new friend. You never know who this new friend could be or what they do until you ask!
More people will be out and about than ever right now doing similar things that you need to do. Take this opportunity to meet strangers by the art of small talk. That stranger could be your potential boss or someone who knows of an opportunity you can apply for. It is amazing how much job searching really impacts all seasons and every aspect of life.
Thank you to all my followers for tuning in today. Happy searching!
Kindly,
Anrea
