I am a retired navy Veteran of 20 years! I know things are very tough out there right now. I would like to share some positive motivation with all of you! I learned the power of continued PERSISTENCE! The power to make things happen. When applying for a job, try to physically be seen by your potential employer. Display enthusiasm while in the building, smile! Do you realize how powerful a simple smile is? It actually produces a positive, happy environment! Try it and see what happens! Tell them how wonderful it would be working with them! Do not be afraid to be different. This is how i got hired with a security company after i retired from the Navy. This will not work all of the time. This is where continued PERSISTENCE plays it's role! Wait a few days and repeat the same above steps. Yes, go back again! And again! 2 possible outcomes. You will be hired, or told not to come back. Repeat until hired! I guarantee you will be noticed! SMILE, ENTHUSIASM, CONTINUED PERSISTENCE! Now get out there and take it!
