Professional Development

They say what goes in our mind never comes out the same. Hence the reason why perceptions are formed. The way we think is powerful. So powerful that Forbes decided to post a blog informing us of "The 10 Thinking Errors That Will Hold You Back In Life":

1) All-or-Nothing

2) Overgeneralizing

3) Filtering Out the Positive

4) Mind-Reading

5) Catastrophizing

6) Emotional Reasoning

7) Labeling

8) Fortune-telling

9) Personalization

10) Unreal Ideal

"Changing the way you think takes a lot of effort initially, but with practice, you’ll notice big changes – not just in the way you think, but also in the way you feel and behave. You can make peace with the past, look at the present differently, and think about the future in a way that will support your chances of reaching your goals" (Morin, Amy. "The 10 Thinking Errors That Will Hold You Back In Life").

Change your thinking and you'll change your life. To read the post in greater detail click here.

Tea and a Chat: Professionalism [Pt. III]

"People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care"

- David H. Maister

 

 

"What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a document sent with your resume

to provide additional information on your skills and experience.

A cover letter typically

provides detailed information on why you are qualified for the job

you are applying for.

Effective cover letters explain the reasons

for your interest in the specific organization

and identify your most relevant skills or experiences"

- Source: Cover Letter, Alison Doyle

 

 

The Importance of the Cover Letter (CLICK HERE]

The link above explores the importance, rules to keep in mind, format, and examples of a cover letter!

"...It's not unusual for job seekers to treat the cover letter as an afterthought. They've put so much time and thought into their resume that they may view the cover letter as nothing more than a required but unimportant attachment. In actuality, this introductory document can be instrumental in helping your resume leap to the top of the pile. The importance of a cover letter cannot be overstated" (Half, Robert. Importance of a Cover Letter). Finding a job has turned into a "competitive market". If you want to at least make the "I'll consider looking into these resumes" stack then submitting a cover letter may be the one thing that gets you in the door. "So, is a cover letter important? Most definitely – especially if you want to be in the running against those who are taking the initiative to submit one" (Half, Robert).

What David Maister said is indeed true: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care". It is worth the time and effort! If you be excellent in preparation you may impress an employer! Don't wonder "what if..." or "maybe I should have..." - DO IT! Click the link above! Compose your cover letter today, keep it on file and manipulate whenever you're applying for different positions.

 

 

 

We will discuss more with the next post on PROFESSIONALISM!
"You have the POWER to be EXCELLENT in every area of your life. Start TODAY!"

Until next time!
