This isn't my preferred alternative, yet it is an option. When we invest all our time whining about the amount we despise something, we might be exhausting vitality we could put toward valuing that things great characteristics. Doubtlessly not all things are awful about this position you have taken. All things considered, there was an explanation you were at first intrigued by it. Scribble down a rundown of professionals and cons. You may be astonished to actually discover you like some things about this activity you think you totally abhor.

Not having opportunities to work things out with others could leave you feeling depleted before a day's over. Tip: Try chipping in for a couple of tasks that will consider more collaboration with your colleagues on a customary premise. Join or set up bunches that offer open doors to discuss thoughts with others. B. Self preoccupation In the event that you lean toward self preoccupation, you likely appreciate workplaces that give some private space and reflection time. Having to continually talk to other people throughout the day could leave you feeling depleted and even somewhat touchy on occasion. Tip: If your new position expects you to connect with others more than you might want, take a stab at getting up a more diminutive prior toward the beginning of the day to get the time you have to process the coming day. Use your lunch break for a single walk or drive. If you need more reflection time, request it. You may be amazed by how strong your associates and bosses are. C. Detecting On the off chance that you lean toward detecting, you presumably prefer to get data in a successive, bit by bit way when beginning a new position. On the off chance that you arent getting this sort of data, you may feel that such a large number of your inquiries are going unanswered.

You dont need to make individuals think you are looking down on their set up forms. D. Instinct In the event that you favor instinct, you most likely prefer to get data in a major picture-situated way, rather than getting heaps of subtleties, when beginning a new position. In the event that you arent getting this sort of data, you may feel you dont have a sufficient feeling of universally useful to kick things off. Tip: When each one of those subtleties come at you without a moment's delay, take a full breath and put them into sensible lumps or examples. These examples can enable you to perceive what a definitive result of your endeavors could be, which should assist you with beginning. E. Thinking On the off chance that you incline toward deduction, you likely need to address task-centered target rationale when settling on choices in your new position.

You might need to set up calendar alerts to remind yourself to recognize the sentiments and estimations of others. F. Feeling On the off chance that you lean toward feeling, you likely need to concentrate on esteems focused individuals issues when settling on choices in your new position. On the off chance that your workplace doesnt value the effect of choices on individuals, you may feel you have picked a workplace that doesn't esteem what is particularly critical to you. Tip: Remember to remain consistent with your qualities as a matter of first importance while continually perceiving that work will be work and requires results that produce results. G. Judging In the event that you lean toward judging, you presumably need plans and calendars that you and others regard and follow when sorting out work undertakings. On the off chance that your new workplace doesn't take into account this, you may begin to feel on edge, stressing that ventures wont be done on schedule. Tip: Ask yourself, Do I truly need to complete it early, or would it be able to stand by a tad? Simultaneously, likewise show clear proof that the plans you have are practical and will deliver the best results. H. Seeing On the off chance that you lean toward seeing, you presumably need the adaptability to keep alternatives open when arranging work assignments. In the event that your new workplace doesn't take into consideration this, you may begin to feel confined and compelled to settle on choices you are not yet prepared to make. Tip: The truth will eventually come out. In the event that you can demonstrate that your weight provoked methodology can in any case bring about astounding work that is consistently on schedule, those in your new workplace might be all the more ready to acknowledge it. All things considered, most associations run on passing judgment on standards, so you will presumably need to consider flexing more than you may like. Prize yourself for flexing by making a point to keep your personal time increasingly open-finished. 3. Leave! Truly â€" simply leave. Proceed onward to look for some kind of employment you genuinely love in a domain that praises you for being the individual you are. People frequently remain in workplaces that dont acknowledge what they contribute. This can prompt lower commitment, more terrible execution, and even lower confidence. We invest such a great amount of energy at our occupations â€" why not discover a spot that values our commitments the manner in which we normally present them? â€" I trust this article gives you a couple of thoughts to consider on the off chance that you wind up addressing whether a new position is truly directly for you. I want you to enjoy all that life has to offer in your excursion to find a workplace that praises and commends you for the work you do and the individual you are.

5 Naked Truths About Your Job Performance Rating

5 naked truths about your job performance rating This is not your ordinary career site. I help the corporate worker who toils away in the company cubicle make career transitions. You want to do your job well, following all the rules -- . The career transitions where I can help you center on three critical career areas: How to land a job, succeed in a job, and build employment security. Top 10 Posts on Categories Now that we are pretty much done with performance reviews, it is a good time to look at some truths about performance ratings. Note: this is not about your performance review where you and your manager (hopefully) talk through your work during the period. Instead, this is about the rating  number you were given that is associated with that review. If you are in a large enough company, the typical performance ratings range from a 1 (you don’t have a job, so leave now) to a 5 (where you walk on water). Most companies will argue that a 3 (successful) is where the vast majority of employees should be for their rating. That makes sense. Most people are successful in their work; they are not walking on water in terms of the work they do. Combine this 1-5 approach to ratings with what you then get paid as a raise and/or bonus and you can get to some naked truths about performance ratings. Every business has a budget and, most often, labor is the largest portion of that budget. It makes sense to control the budget, so management sets up an essentially fixed dollar amount for labor costs going into the next year. It is planned. That means that the company gives your manager a fixed amount of money to work with when assigning raises and bonuses. There is only so much money to go around. So if you have five people in your group who are legitimate stars, the probability of them all being rated a 3-successful is pretty high. Because there is only so much money to go around. Asking to have some money from some other department to compensate your star employees just doesn’t happen. Getting that to happen would be considered an extraordinary event. The net effect of budget on your performance rating is that it tends to drive the ratings down to a 3. Calibration is the process where similar job titles in a department  have their job performance ratings reviewed by all the managers for the similar job title. Or, the entire department is evaluated by all managers depending on the size. Let’s say you work in a hospital as a nurse. There are many different nurse titles with somewhat different specialties, but they all nurses. Or you work in technology as an engineer. There are lots of different specialties within technology, but, in this exercise, an engineer is an engineer. Now your five star employees are compared against others with similar job titles and management has a discussion about the performance ratings your manager has given you. Calibration exists to ensure there isn’t one manager handing out walking on water performance ratings while the rest of the department is not. And, yes, to ensure the total budget for the group is not exceeded. The net effect of calibration on your performance rating is that it tends to drive the ratings down to a 3. In fact, in most of the large companies I’ve worked for, 3’s aren’t reviewed in calibration, but all 2’s, 4’s, and 5’s are reviewed. Do you want to be safe and not have your rating challenged? Give the person a 3. It is an extraordinary event to have a 3 rating pulled up to a 4 in calibration. Some companies rate on a bell curve. You can only have so many people outside a 3. They literally define the percentage of people inside the ratings. Other companies force you to rate someone low, regardless of their performance. GE is most famous for doing this, but they don’t do this anymore because there is little incentive for a person to go work there when they were eliminating 10% of their workforce every year. I was told as a manager at one of my companies that the lowest ranked  person in my group had to be rated a 2- needs improvement. Even though my lowest ranking employee was actually the most improved employee I had in my group. He and I worked to get his skills up and attitude right in the prior review period and he did exactly that. And for that I had to rank him a 2? My point here is this:  your job performance rating often has very little to do with your performance.  Instead, you are being slotted into a budget, compared to your peers, and get rated based on the management approach to performance ratings. If you are rated successfully as a 3, what does it take to get to a 4 or 5? It depends on how your company treats performance ratings. If there actually is a percentage of people that are expected to be rated in those two categories, you have a shot. If you have a shot based on the company’s approach, the next serious question is what do you need to do to hit a 4? Management usually can’t tell you. And they certainly can’t tell you if you do x, y, and z you’ll be rated a 4 (see: Calibration). Usually, though, it involves longer hours. Volunteering for corporate stuff.  Taking over something that is failing and turning it around (see: longer hours). Or something as simple as getting high visibility work and doing well at it. So the first question is: what do you have to do to get a higher rating and deciding if it is worth doing the subsequent work to get there. The second important question is: how many dollars is that higher rating worth? If you get a 3% raise compared to a 2% raise, is it worth the extra work? If your bonus is $500 more with a 4 than a 3, is it worth the extra work? It may not be. If you are solid in your successful rating and are meeting your personal standards for work, is it really worth a huge push to  possibly get a higher rating? Only you can answer that one. Your work is worth the emotional investment. You need to build job skills, perform well, and, if you have high work standards as  Cubicle Warriors do, you will be emotionally invested in your job performance. What I’m talking about here is emotional investment in the performance rating, not your work. Most of us think that if we perform really well, we will be rewarded through our performance rating. But that’s not really true. When performance ratings are part of budgets, calibration, and tied into the company’s approach to performance, your individual performance is much less, well, individual. Your performance is much more about fitting into a category that fits into management’s approach to ratings. If 3 means “successfully performing the job”, that covers a pretty big and broad category. There are a good number of people who have “never been rated less than a 4 in my entire career.” And then they get a 3. The are not happy about it. But it’s not because their level of work is any different. That their personal work standards were lowered. It’s because that is how their company and/or manager now approaches ratings. To flip this a bit, I look at how companies operate as it relates to performance and payouts based on how they set performance goals and execute performance rankings. Based on how they do those two things, I now understand how the company operates. And if the performance ranking approach is it takes a miracle to get a 4, much less a 5, then that is how the company will operate. My becoming a super human worker won’t change the rating. And getting upset about that is worthy, but wasteful. What you were just told was the max raise and bonus you will get. It won’t change going forward. Either you accept that, or leave and find something different â€" and make sure you cover this in your interviews because you will most likely be disappointed again. Some people can’t get past the individual performance equals a correct rating. I get that. I concluded a long time ago that it’s not worth the emotional investment â€" as long as I am performing to my high standards. If you are still reading until here (thanks!), all of this is not meant to be cynical. Companies need to budget, they need to make sure performance is managed, and they need to have an approach to rating people and their work. Otherwise, it’s poor management. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t understand how this works and the impact it has on our performance ratings. Then, when we understand how it works, we  can change how we approach the whole performance rating process. This is not your ordinary career site. I help the corporate worker who toils away in the company cubicle make career transitions. You want to do your job well, following all the rules â€" .

Working on Thanksgiving Whats It Like for Retail Workers, Cops, and Doctors

Chipping away at Thanksgiving What's It Like for Retail Workers, Cops, and Doctors On Thanksgiving morning, Claire Graves won't be staying in bed, nor will she get a turkey into the stove. Rather, at 7 a.m. Graves will be at Columbia University Medical Center beginning the main hour of a 24-hour move as a general medical procedure inhabitant. While her family is in Atlanta diving into a turkey supper, she will be more than 700 miles away in New York City, working the medical clinic's injury beat. I'll most likely leave the medical clinic around 9 or 9:30 a.m. the following day, she presumes. My mother is troubled, however she's known it's been coming. Graves is one of around 1 out of 4 Americans, as indicated by an Allstate/National Journal survey, who will be chipping away at either Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Day. Society despite everything needs to capacity, occasion or not, and it's this 25% of the workforce that enables make it feasible for all of us to make the most of our chance to off. What's it like being a piece of the Thanksgiving work power? We connected with a wide range of callings to discover. The Doctor Graves isn't actually upbeat she's taking a shot at Thanksgiving, however for her, it's a piece of the activity: I anticipated that it should occur. I'm appreciative I've gotten the chance to spend the previous two Thanksgivings with the family. One of us must be here… I'm anticipating that it should be genuinely calm Any Turkey? The medical caretakers consistently have potlucks so the food is awesome. They generally feed the inhabitants. The Retail Worker Marie Baldwin, a 20-year old Minnesota occupant, has worked three Thanksgivings at different dress stores, and she'll be at work again this Thursday. Naturally, she's not anticipate it: [In the past] I've been at the store at 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving, so it cut everything off. Thanksgiving isn't generally an occasion for me. I get the chance to see family, however it's truly short, while Christmas I have the opportunity to unwind. There's no approaching fate of Black Friday so it's significantly less unpleasant. Might it be able to be more terrible? I worked for Ralph Lauren for a long time. Once, I had a 7 p.m. move on Thanksgiving Day, and the following day a move at 1 a.m., something just extremely dreadful. Are the clients crazy? Uhh Yeahhh, there's very a sort. In case you're going Black Friday shopping, you're truly there to get a decent cost. The individuals who go out, they're simply not hesitant to truly blow up. There have been a couple of clients just not having it at 4 a.m… I've had a great deal of product tossed at me. Individuals consistently hope for something else at a bargain than what retailers are offering so they'll attempt to trade with youâ€"which is silly in light of the fact that there's no other option for meâ€"and they'll get extremely frantic on the off chance that you don't give that 'yes' answer. The Police Officer Chris James has worked for the Riverhead, Long Island police office for a long time. During that time, he's worked about 15 Thanksgivings. How are your days off? On Thanksgiving, we do the quiches for breakfast and afterward the family does Thanksgiving a while later and I get the extras. Following 20 years, I can sincerely say that feels like my standard, as troublesome as it sounds. How does your family feel about it? You know, my children have managed it since they were conceived. As they get more seasoned it wears somewhat ragged on them. It detracts from the occasion soul, however they acknowledge it. At the point when the children were youthful I would attempt to switch with different folks, the more seasoned folks, so in any event I was around at Christmas morning for the children. Less for Thanksgiving. That is something they figured out how to live with. On the remaining task at hand: With occasions like [Thanksgiving] you will in general be a little on the bustling side. The liquor and everything else kicks in… It will in general be somewhat occupied as the night goes on… There have been questions where things got monstrous, yet that is for the most part on Christmas. The Firefighter Jim Long, chief of open data for the Fire Department of New York, gave us some knowledge into with regards to how city firemen commend the occasion. On the huge supper: Most firehouses will likely invest significant energy to prepare a conventional occasional supper, for this situation turkey and the entirety of different things that join it. Everything on the side, whatever they pick. In any case, they are working, and there's a day team and a night group. On work/life balance: I'm certain they set aside some effort to go through with the family and recognize the occasion. Some may do an early lunch, some may do an early supper. You comprehend when you please the FDNY that you will forfeit a ton to family time, particularly in the Christmas season. The Retail Techie Sharon Khander, an ongoing school graduate working for an enormous national attire retail chain's site, is answerable for ensuring your web based shopping experience goes easily during the special seasons. What's your activity at this moment? Before Thanksgiving we move all the substance from the organizing condition we use for testing. Going from that arranging condition to the live site, there can be a great deal of contrasts. On Thursday morning at 4 a.m., before customers are conscious, we test all the highlights, such as doing a phony checkout with a phony card to ensure everything goes alright… We need to continually screen all the well known items and put a sold out message up directly as we're going to go through all the stock. I ought to be out of the workplace by early afternoon and off to Thanksgiving, yet it's as yet hard to get up that at an early stage an occasion.

Renewable Energys Efficiency Tool

Sustainable power source's Efficiency Tool Sustainable power source's Efficiency Tool Sustainable power source's Efficiency Tool Sustainable energys advances into the United States and other created nations is notable, however it additionally is picking up footing in the creating scene. Sustainable power source zones in southern and eastern Africa, created as a team with the International Renewable Energy Agency, advances sustainable power source improvement upheld by the legislatures of 19 nations. In any case, distinguishing the most proficient destinations for age and transmission to stack focuses can be testing, which is the place a recently evolved arranging device vows to build efficiencies. Kenyas $680-million Lake Turkana wind venture, for example, will create 310 MW, making it eastern Africas greatest force venture. In any case, the task experiences its remoteness. Its 350 Vestas wind turbines are introduced and operational yet stay inactive on account of deferrals in development of its 438-kilometer transmission line that will convey the power to Suswa, close to Nairobi. The legislature as of late declared the line won't be operational until 2018. Transmission lines and interconnections take more time to work than the turbine ranch even without delays. Such issues may have been recognized from the get-go in the arranging procedure utilizing MapRE, or Multicriteria Analysis for Planning Renewable Energy, sparing conceivably a large number of dollars. Case of the MapRE assets indicating wind power thickness in East Africa. Picture: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Most sustainable power source ventures are designer driven, says Ranjit Deshmukh, one of MapREs engineers and now an analyst at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. On the off chance that designers are given the correct data, they can recognize hotspots of wind and sun powered assets. Those sweet spots dont consistently consider different subtleties of the venture, for example, the good ways from the creating station to the heap place and the time it takes to construct an activities parts. A transmission interconnection can take as long or longer than three to five years to assemble, says Deshmukh. A sustainable power source task can be worked inside a year. Deshmukh brings up that the perfect site for a sustainable power source task may not be the place the sun or wind is generally reliable. Other various standards ought to be thought of, including separation to the heap place and populace thickness, request, and wind speed. Ecological and various social boundaries ought to be remembered for dynamic. An undertaking could be progressively productive and affordable on the off chance that it is manufactured where the sun or wind are not ideal, however closer to where the force is required. Be that as it may, having the information is the greatest hindrance to such an activity, he says. MapRE gives the information to settle on better choices. Deshmukh says he and co-designer Grace Wu at the University of California, Berkeley, went through two years gathering informational collections on financial, natural and different issues for 21 African nations taking an interest in the East Africa and Southern African force pools, conversing with utilities and different partners. The apparatuses incorporate things, for example, wind paces, timing, and other physical factors, for example, sun oriented protection. Utilized together, organizers can recognize what Deshmukh calls no second thoughts locales that are available and have ease and constrained effect. Wu, Deshmukh and their associates distributed a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the African work, finding that numerous nations have vitality improvement potential ordinarily the anticipated interest. They contend for territorial interconnections, noticing the most serious breeze and sunlight based assets are spatially lopsided. Territorial interconnections arranged around key siting openings are urgent for understanding no-second thoughts wind and sun oriented vitality improvement that can be serious with regular age in African nations. In Africa, Deshmukh focuses to gauges that show flow power age must significantly increase by 2030. Renewables have a spot and even a bit of leeway in addressing those necessities. Utilizing the device, he and the papers creators close Multicriteria evaluation of wind and sunlight based potential for huge districts of Africa shows how financially serious and low-ecological effect inexhaustible assets can fundamentally add to meeting this demand.Additionally, interconnections and choosing wind destinations to coordinate interest diminish the requirement for [South African Power Pool]-wide traditional age limit by 9.5% in a high-wind situation, bringing about a 620% cost investment funds, contingent upon the kept away from customary innovation. Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Kenya currently are utilizing MapRE, says Deshmukh, and it is moving to different districts too. The World Bank is utilizing MapRE in Vietnam to add progressively sun powered capacity to the countrys lattice, and the European Climate Fund is utilizing it in an investigation to discover options in contrast to a non-renewable energy source plant in Bangladesh. One of the objectives with the World Bank is to connect and placed instruments into the arranging procedure, he says. It has been designed mostly for organizers, strategy creators or controllers. The designers note that the open-source apparatus underlines utility-level sunlight based or wind zones, in spite of the fact that the spatial models could be utilized for off-the-matrix advancement. It likewise incorporates a lot of geographic data frameworks content instruments for sustainable power source zoning, permitting customization of a zoning examination. Deshmukh says the subsequent stage is to make the instruments simpler to utilize on the web. He says MapRE, while created for use in the creating scene, can likewise be utilized in the U.S. or on the other hand somewhere else. Wu is presently taking a shot at a cycle explicitly for California where nearby guidelines advance sustainable influence yet siting complexities show a great deal of time and cash squandered all the while, he says. For Further Discussion One of the objectives with the World Bank is to connect and placed instruments into the arranging process.Ranjit Deshmukh, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory

Peruse on for a compact definition and discover how to compose a letter of enthusiasm for work. Weve additionally incorporated some fruitful letter of intrigue tests. 1. What is a Letter of Interest? A letter of intrigue expresses that you'd prefer to work at an organization regardless of whether it isnt publicizing an employment opportunity. You may likewise hear it called a letter of aim for a job or articulation of intrigue. Letter of Interest versus Introductory Letter Note that a letter of intrigue is not the same as an introductory letter. An introductory letter is focused toward a particular job that has been publicized. Conversely, a letter of expectation is sent to an organization on your own drive. It should intrigue the recruiting director with the goal that they'll call you in for a meeting. Letters of intrigue can be sent by anybody at any degree of experience.

The most effective method to Address Your Letter Beginning a letter of enthusiasm with To the responsible party in question or Dear sir/madam is ineffectual. That is on the grounds that it shows you haven't tried to investigate the organization's key players. It's essential to discover the name of the employing supervisor, selection representative, or whoever you're tending to your application to, and utilize their legitimate name. The organization's site should list this data; if not, beware of LinkedIn (or Google). Then again, you can take a stab at calling the organization and requesting the name of the employing supervisor.

Section #3: Use an Effective Call to Action The last section of your letter of intrigue is alluded to as the source of inspiration. That is on the grounds that you're approaching the peruser to act. For this situation, you need them to call you in for a meeting. So make things simple for them. Furnish them with your contact subtleties. Your email and telephone number ought to be rehashed here despite the fact that they'll as of now be recorded on your resume.

Resume Writers Digest Q&A Designing an ATS-Friendly Resume

Resume Writers' Digest Q&A Designing an ATS-Friendly Resume Yesterday's blog post focused on the content of an ATS-friendly resume. Today's post tackles design considerations for resume writers when creating a resume that is likely to go through an Applicant Tracking System.Q. How do I design an Applicant Tracking System-friendly resume?A. The easiest way to ensure the client's resume will be accepted by an ATS is to design a resume that is both ATS-friendly and human-reader ready. The two are not mutually exclusive; however, ATS-friendly resumes are formatted much more simply, while human-reader resumes may contain graphic elements that make the document easier to read and more attractive to the reader. Because the ultimate goal is to have the resume reviewed by a human, even an ATS-friendly resume needs to be readable and attractive to human eyes. (Be sure to tell clients: If they are given the choice to copy-and-paste the resume or upload a file, choose the upload option. This will ensure the human-read resume retains the formatting in your original design.) Some applicant tracking systems can manage graphics (or simply ignore them), but since many systems cant handle graphics of any type, it is best to omit them if you suspect an applicant tracking system may be used to handle the application.The format of the main body of the resume is critical some ATS software cannot read header/footer information, so if you include contact information in those sect ions, it may not be read. (And remember, geographic location can be used as a filter.) Does an ATS-friendly resume have to be boring? Not necessarily although formatting has to be carefully considered. Format is extremely important. The employer name must appear before the date. Work experience the client's current and previous jobs should appear in this format: Company Name Date Position Description The date should always appear to the right of the company name for optimum reading by the applicant tracking system. Dates can be included in almost any standard format for example: November 2014, 11/2014, or Nov. 2014. Work experience sections should also include the skills used in the role (including computer software and hardware, if relevant). One nice thing about applicant tracking systems is that they are not sensitive to the length of the resume, so two or more pages are fine. However, they are sensitive to formatting issues. Formatting a Resume For ATS Compliance: Open the file in Microsoft Word. Under the File menu, choose Save As. Rename the file (recommended format: LastNameJobTitle.txt) and save as Text Only (.txt) format. Close the Microsoft Word window. Open the .txt file in Microsoft Word. Fix any obvious formatting issues. List the client's contact information at the top of the document, with each piece of information on a new line. Label the phone number with Phone: and email address with Email:. Create section headings (if they did not previously exist in the resume). These can include Summary, Work Experience, and Education. Use one heading per section (do not combine Education and Training, for example), and include an extra return (an extra line) between sections. Use simple bullets () or keyboard characters (*, -, or ). Do not use dingbats or other special characters, as these will not be read properly by the ATS. Highlight the text and choose a more appealing font than Courier. (Suggested fonts are Arial, Georgia, Tahoma, or Verdana.) Re-save the file as a .doc. (Under the File menu, chose Save As. Make sure you choose Word Document under the Format option.)

Include a few, clearly defined sections: Summary, Work Experience, and Education. Does not contain images or graphics or, if they do appear, they do not affect the single-column formatting (Be warned, however, that the simple inclusion of any graphics may be enough to choke some applicant tracking systems.) Does not include any information in the headers or footers of the document (if saved in Microsoft Word format) Has been thoroughly edited and spellchecked and there are no errors. (The ATS will not recognize misspelled words). Does not include any special characters or accented words. Contains proper capitalization and punctuation. Both of these can affect how information is parsed and assigned within the ATS database. Uses the full, spelled-out version of a term in addition to abbreviations and acronyms i.e., Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Incorporates relevant, targeted keywords and phrases for the type of position being sought i.e., Photoshop instead of image-editing software Has been customized for the position being sought. One-size-fits-all does not work with applicant tracking systems.

Personal Branding Are you Obnoxious or Pleasant

Personal Branding Are you Obnoxious or Pleasant In the last month Ive received many messages from people.  Most of them are very pleasant, kind, thankful, excited, etc. A small handful of them are impatient, obnoxious, blaming, mad, finger-pointing, entitled, etc. Ill let you in on a little secret: I am ALWAYS judging you, wondering if you would make a great fit for my company, or for an introduction to one of my contacts. Ill let you in on another little secret: Everyone else is always judging you, too. You are being judged.  Stereotyped, if you will. If you are obnoxious (or any of those bad correlations), the people judging you (interviewing you, meeting you at a network event, seeing your writings online, etc.) will not want to do anything with you.  Theyll be hard-pressed to help you. You havent sold them on YOU yet. However, if you are pleasant (or any of those nice correlations), people will want to be around you.  They will be open to introducing you, referring you, helping you, etc. I know the job search sucks.  I know, from personal experience, that toxic attitudes can seep in by surprise, and can sour your effectiveness.  Read how I learned the hard way: I Smell Blood Please, develop the skill of being less obnoxious and more pleasant.  It will be a skill that will help you the rest of your life.
