If Eeyore Were a Person, Would You Hire Him?
January 28, 2011
My friend has been trying to find a job since we graduated in May of this year, and she can’t seem to understand how I was able to find a job within two weeks – I have great connections – and she hasn’t been able to get past the first round interviews in almost six months of trying. I feel for her and want to tell her about a job that just came available where I work but, quite frankly, she’s like Eeyore. I know this company prefers to hire people with more Tigger-like personalities. How can I make her see that she needs to be more positive? Would it help if I told her it could help her land the job that opened up where I work?
