If a company’s hiring process is cumbersome, slow and downright abusive, the same can probably be said for the company as a whole. See this as a red flag!
One important thought to remember about change is that is causes fear, both large and small. Change challenges the status quo and can sometimes seem to turn your life upside down. Yes, change can be dramatic, stressful and frightening, but it can also be illuminating, challenging and energizing — if you see it in the proper light. Feel fear, but then turn this fear into something powerful.
To be flexible to change, we must first learn to recognize it. Too often I meet people who are doing the mental equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears or their head in the sand. They think that if they ignore a change, it will simply go away. Nothing could be further from the truth. Change will happen whether we wish it to or not. We can either ride the wave of change or let it knock us to the sandy beach like an unheeded ocean wave.
When attracting opportunity to you, one of the most important aspects is to tell people “what you do and how well you do it.”
This is the main reason I encourage people to start blogging, to start using Social Media, Podcasting and more, because they are perfect avenues to tell people “what you do and how well you do it” – and way to actively demonstrate it.
