Job Search Mistakes
All too often people choose jobs based on the wrong reasons. According to Business News Daily, 60% of Americans hate their jobs. David Mieloch, a staff writer for the Business News Daily, suggests mistakes to avoid in your job search. 1. Don't choose the first or easiest job you can get. 2. Don't choose a job based on salary. 3. Don't choose a job because it provides a good title. 4. Don't take a job just because management offers it. 5. Don't choose a job because that's what your parents want. 6. Don't choose a job or major without any serious study of yourself. Citation Information: www.businessnewsdaily.com. August 21, 2012. |
