In a recent article by Jack and Suzy Welch they were asked by recent college graduates how do deal with getting a job in these most difficult times.
If you want to find the article, it is in Business Week June 28th issue. Their articles are always on the last inside page and they are called “The Welchway”.
The article is called “Dear Gradate (Crisis Version)”. Here are some of their thoughts.
This one they gave three years ago and they feel it is still important. They said “The way to get ahead is to over deliver”. But with today’s loosely economic conditions they have added some new thoughts.
One is to get off the computer and go out a meet people. Let people know who you are and what you can do.
Second and they said this might sound old fashion, but remember you have to pay your dues if you want to get ahead.
Third they say with all seriousness, love everybody, because we live in a culture that is full of criticism, we tend to lot look at the less successful and give them no respect. Respect all people, if you don’t it can come and bite you in the back end.
Listen to everyone because of whatever their status they could help you in way you might not even know.
Lastly they said if you’re a business school graduate be proud of it. You don’t have to apologize for wanting to go into business. Business is what has made this country great and don’t let people forget it.
There have always been those that abuse the system and at the moment a lot have fallen in the business world. In reality these things happen in all sectors of our economy and guess what those that have done wrong are paying the price for their wrong doings.
We all have to learn from the past and move on. If you remember one thing love everyone because you don’t know who can help you. It will also make life’s experience wonderful.
Happiness with Wealth to you
