5 Character Traits You Need to Win a Job Fast

Jan 26, 2014 4:45:11 PM

This week I am discussing what it takes to win.

I’ve noticed several character traits in my most successful clients, and I’d like to share them with you. Possessing the character traits of a successful job seeker helps you succeed.

I’ll teach you these character traits so you can become more like a successful job seeker that gets a job in less than 10 weeks.

Character Traits You Need to Win a Job Fast

1. Competence

You have to know the basic skills of searching for a job in this market. The people that know how to search for jobs get the jobs fastest.

2. Confidence

Competence and confidence are tied together. As you have more competence, you become more confident, and then become more competent. You can’t lose confidence in your abilities as you seek for a position. Unemployment can take a toll on your confidence, but learning about the job seeking process helps you become more competent in the market.

3. Coaching

Whether or not you receive professional help or assistance from a mentor, you will benefit from the professional advice. A coaching relationship helps you get better as you work to find a job quickly.

4. Commitment

Looking for a job has to be your number one priority. When you put this at the top of your list, you’re more likely to find a job quickly. Successful job seekers maintain a high level of commitment to their job search.

5. Clarity

Clarity might be the most central character trait of successful job seekers. You need to constantly remind yourself what you want to do. Make sure your dreams and wishes for your professional future are clear.

These five traits help individuals get the job quickly. As you reflect on the character traits of successful job seekers, determine how you can strengthen these traits in yourself. Focusing on improving these traits will improve the quality of your search and help you win the job.
