Be Passionate : Get the Job

It’s hard to paint a masterpiece if you don’t put the brush on paper.
You’ve picked up the paintbrush, you’ve signed up with job search websites; now the work starts. I know that’s not what you want to hear, but its the truth. Yes, some employers will seak you out, but the bulk of seaking rests on your shoulders. A winning combination, or palette, is job seaking – applying – following up – following up some more -hopefully an interview – writing a Thank You note – following up some more.
You will stand out amongst the hundreds of applications if you actually prove to them that you want to work for their company. You just have to keep in contact with them.
A strange thing happened after I got my job, I stopped getting contacted so often about job openings and interviews… Because I stopped applying and following up on the status of my resume. If that’s not a sure sign that you need to be passionate about getting a job, I don’t know what is.
Getting a job isn’t like taking a photograph -*click* you’re done-; it’s like painting a masterpiece; it takes time and passion.
I always remember loving the English tests that had the “comparisons” (Sun : Moon = Day : Night, etc). Think about it this way… Be Passionate : Get the Job = You : Happy.
