Take
a moment a play a round of the familiar game show $10,000 Pyramid with
me. The
hints are: a smile, polished shoes, a firm handshake, remembering names
and
initiating appropriate small talk. If you guessed "things that make the
difference in someone getting a job - or a date - and someone who does
not", you are correct! These are a
few of the little things that are often ignored en route to a bigger
goal. However, these are the same things that can
take you out of the game when competing for the same goal with someone
as
equally qualified as yourself. Take a time-out and consider the
following
questions:
 |
What distinguishes you as a better
business owner, a more
qualified job candidate, an employee deserving of a raise or, in honor
of
Valentine's Day, a potential love interest? There is competition all
around
you. What unique qualities do you consistently portray in your various
roles
that will make you "the chosen one"?
|
|
Consider your appearance, your
professionalism, your
communication style, your level of excitement and enthusiasm (otherwise
known
as attitude). Are you sending the message that you are an asset…or a
liability? |
By
doing the things most people fail to do, you are positioning yourself
to
outclass the competition, move ahead and maintain a position of
prestige; the
little things will make a big difference.
