Qualifications versus Work Ethics.

When we were young, the things that we were often told is to study hard so that we can get a good job. So we strived for excellence since the day we set foot to school, and we worked hard to get into college only to find out that getting a job is not as easy even with our outstanding qualifications.

So what is the problem? While we were taught algebra and science, we were never told the reality of the professional industry. The soft skills and etiquettes like coming in 5 minutes early for work or the right way to communicate with a superior. While to some it comes naturally, some struggle.


It is important to remember that a good work ethic can get you a long way even with a ‘just above the water’ grades. At the end of the day, in the professional world you will be working with people and it is your work etiquette that will make it enjoyable and easier for other people to work with you. So if you are struggling to land on a dream job, work on your work etiquette.

Positive Thinking Isn’t Enough

If you think about how the world is always against you because every time you set a goal you fail to achieve it, will that make you want to continue going for your goals with enthusiasm and passion? Probably not. When you think positively even though things aren’t going your way, your mind will work towards finding a solution to make things work.
