Have you ever heard that you become who your friends are? Who you hang out with absolutely does have an impact on how you think and what actions you take. (See 5 Surprising Ways Your Friends Influence You, Backed by Science)
I personally make a point of spending time with people who are successfully doing things that I also want to be good at. I also read books and articles by successful people that I can learn from. What you put into your brain and who you hang out with will have an impact on your own success. Gravitate to productive and positive people to help yourself be more productive and positive.
If you need some job search or interview help, I invite you to consider personal coaching with either Peggy McKee or Zanetta Sicililano, or attend one of Career Confidential’s Free Training Webinars this week.
Best of luck!
