”I have a friend who's
collecting unemployment
insurance. This guy has
never worked so hard in
his life as he has to keep
this thing going. He's
down there every week,
waiting on the lines and
getting interviewed and
making up all these lies
about looking for jobs. If
they had any idea of the
effort and energy that he
is expending to avoid
work, I'm sure they'd give
him a raise.”

"So I started to walk into
the water. I won't lie to
you boys, I was terrified.
But I pressed on, and as I
made my way past the
breakers a strange calm
came over me. I don't
know if it was divine
intervention or the
kinship of all living things,
but I tell you Jerry, at
that moment I was a
marine biologist."

“According to most
studies, people's
number one fear is
public speaking.
Number two is death.
Death is number two.
Does that sound
right? This means to
the average person, if
you go to a funeral,
you're better off in
the casket than doing
the eulogy.”

YOUR EFFORT
WILL BE NOTICED!
But remember,
You don’t want to end up
working in an environment that
doesn’t allow you to be you.
BE YOURSELF!
If you are a good fit, your pocket
computer will be ringing. Now
you have to start preparing
yourself for the interview.

49.
“Let's face it: a
date is a job-
interview, that lasts
all night. The only
difference between
a date and a job
interview is: not
many job-
interviews is there
a chance you'll end
up naked at the
end of it.”
JERRY SEINFELD

50.
In job hunting, there aren’t any guarantees. No
position is yours even if you have a spectacular
application and CV. But they do offer a positive
image and they make an impact. This can be the
difference on getting the interview or not.

51.
When you get
your rightfully
earned new
job, you have
to CELEBRATE.

personal branding crusade. Think
of the long-term game, not just the
one-time profits. It’s beneficial to
you and your new employer.
YOUR NAME IS YOUR GREATEST ASSET

too seriously. Dance

is watching.
WORK HARD, BUT HAVE FUN TOO!
