the 2 Key personal attributes for jobsearch success...
(Excerpts from the book: How To Get The Job You Want by Frank J. Madero - New Holland Publishers)

To qualify for a job you obviously need to have the necessary qualifications and technical skills. However, there are two key attributes which many jobseekers do not fully appreciate in the context of recruitment and job search:

o       Likeability, and

o       Attitude

Likeability: Put very plainly, if a potential employer does not like you, or feels that you will not fit in with the organisation, then your education, qualifications and skills will sadly count for nothing in his/her eyes. 

Recruiters, and more so employers, will often make up their minds either positively or negatively within seconds or minutes of meeting a candidate. This may seem unfair but the reality is that its human nature and most people are like that.

In everyday life, people the world over instantaneously take to an individual or conversely, have great difficulty in connecting with or liking them. This immediate assessment that people make even happens over the phone.  

Attitude: Most employers, particularly in the private sector and small to medium sized businesses, want workers who will contribute positively to their organisation rather than be focused on what they can get out of the company. In most situations they will prefer candidates with a positive attitude who are capable of learning the required skills quickly, rather than to recruit a candidate who is a know-all.
