How to #BeAWESOME
Take this info with you into job interviews, because after all, companies look at not only what you do, but WHO you are. MANY of these can be used during your job search process and even when you land the job (because I know you want to keep it)!
Here are some examples of how to be awesome.
How many do YOU already do?
-Being optimistic and having a positive outlook -Reaching for, finding, and living your passions and dreams -Facing your fears and overcoming them with confidence -Leading by examples of honesty, integrity, and thoughtfulness -Helping others and giving back to your community, however you can -Treating others as they deserve to be treated: with kindness and respect, unless they are not deserving -Continue growing, learning, evolving, and participating in the world, helping to make a difference -Having the courage to stand up for yourself and others -Being able to raise your voice when no one’s listening -Being of high character and having moral values -Bringing out your inner creativity and showing it to the world
AND now the not so awesome, you want to AVOID!
-Being narcissistic and selfish, thinking only of yourself and your own needs -Treating others badly because of your own situation -Feeling sorry for yourself, taking your aggressions out on others, and being a Debbie downer -Being greedy, selfish, corrupt, dishonest, unfaithful, asinine, or any other type of monster -Being pessimistic and overly negative
When you compare the list there are so many more ways to be awesome than not, so no excuses ; )
What are some of the reasons that YOU are awesome?
I am awesome because I can speak 2 languages, but I also love and care about my family and others and put them before myself.
I am awesome because I have patience for my students and NEVER, EVER make them feel bad about themselves. I also know the importance of letting things go and starting each day fresh.
As someone who is working currently, I can tell you that all the things she said are right. If an employer senses even for a second that you're a negative person you will NOT get the job. All of these will help you grow and be better. I consider myself awesome because I am a fantastic listener and I know the importance of sometimes stepping back and taking it all in.
Great post! What makes me awesome is that I am a writer and I am working on publishing a book. I just need to finish it!! I definitely believe everyone has a creative side however whether it be writing, drawing, painting, photography, DIY, performance art, etc. We each have something artsy and creative just bursting to get out and share with the world.
