The New York Football Giants made it to the Super Bowl. Not even would have believed it if you asked them 3 weeks into the football season. Do you know how the Giants made it to the game? Not by plane, bus or train they did it by determination, drive, diligence, and with a specific goal in mind. This is the same type of approach that you must have when it come to writing your resume, cover letter, applying to job offers and following up on them to get the interview. If you sit back and wait for something to happen it never will. Employers today want to hire someone with determination and drive to work for them. Today's new hires have to exhibit energy, excitement, and enthusiasm. People who exhibit these behaviors are considered go getters, they help the organizations that they work for set trends, not follow them. These people are considered leaders and are willing to learn and do more than the average person.
If the employer that has the open position which is your dream job is looking for you, then you have to be out there on the field to be seen. This is not the time to sit on the side lines, but you have to be ready to get into the game. This means staying current with the latest terms and understanding the most pressing issues that this organization faces. You have to position yourself as the candidate with the best solution to help this organization solve its most pressing issues.
Don't be afraid to get in the game. The Giants' goal was the Super Bowl and yours is your dream job. It is going to take hard work, energy, determination, perseverance, and drive but if you really want it bad enough then you will get it. Remember, to never ever give up. Who cares if you missed the last two field goals? When you get the chance to kick the ball again the only thing in your mind should be that you are going to score and win the game. The Giants did and you can too.
