Often, in our business of helping people to be more successful, we get so busy and end up multi-tasking so much that we can easily begin to feel that we are stuck in a rut on the roadmap of our lives. Most of us desire greater success and happiness, but, despite all the hard work, we haven't yet grabbed that "brass ring".

I have a framed quote hanging in my office that says: "Albert Schweitzer once wrote, 'Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

Here are seven simple steps you can take today to achieve more happiness and success in your life:

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Identify your natural talents and abilities. Do what you enjoy and what you do best. Truly successful and happy people find joy in their working lives. Invest your time in what you do best. (Good advice for your clients too!)

DEVELOP A VISION. First define your path. Write down a vision for yourself and the rest of your working life. What is it that you wish to accomplish? What do you want your life to be like in five years? In 20 years? At what point do you wish to retire? Now that you have the vision, develop a plan of action to move you toward your vision. Plan the work and then work the plan. Try to be as specific as possible. Several wars ago and in a different millennium when I was a young Army Captain I knew another young Captain who told me with 100% certainty that he was going to be a three-star general. I laughed and he said, "Let me show you my game plan." He then placed on his desk an 18" long chart upon which he had plotted, by year, the key assignments he would need to qualify for early promotions. At the end of the chart was the 3-star rank! He was serious. As I plodded along in my military career I often heard about him and his accomplishments. He had become a military "super-star" and made it to his goal of 3-star general two years ahead of his schedule! Guess there must be something to planning your career.

DEVELOP GOOD HABITS. Happy and successful people develop good working habits and habits that support a good lifestyle which, in turn, supports your profession success. If you are watching too much television, are chronically late in completing clients' work, or have a poor diet (like I do,) make a commitment to change your bad habits into habits that are consistent with and supportive of your goals.

SHOW GRATITUDE. The happiest people are also the most grateful people. Make a list of all of the things for which you are grateful and read and update it at least once a week. Laura DeCarlo and CDI are on the top of my gratitude list for helping make our industry more professional and creating opportunities for me to succeed. Who will be on your list? Count your blessings frequently and you'll quickly start seeing a change in yourself and the world around you.

TAKE A CHANCE. Make and seize opportunities! Success and happiness do not come to those who sit on the couch and wait for them to be delivered on a silver platter.

GIVE TO OTHERS. The happiest people are also the most generous. Oprah Winfrey has grasped this concept and often talks of the big "Secret." She has even devoted several hours of her daily program to the big "secret." It really is no secret at all. In fact, we have known for decades that "what goes around comes around." Do, say, or give something nice to another and see how your own life improves!

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. You hold the key to your professional success and future. Take responsibility for your actions. Choose the work you like to do, and do it well. I often hear excuses from our clients regarding why they lost their last position. They can be very creative in shifting the responsibility for their failures to others. Yet, ultimately, we are the masters of our own destinies. You choose your own future by the decisions you make and the actions you take.
As Jean Luke Picard, Captain of the Starship Enterprise often said: "Make it so!"

Landing The Perfect Telecommunications Jobs

By Stephen Trigg, on 09-11-2007

Published in : Career Advice, General Career Advice

"The modern workplace is almost totally dependent on telecommunications companies and professionals." Whilst this statement is incredibly broad, there is no doubt that the telephone, the Internet, and the ability to remain functioning around the clock are vital to corporate success. Telecommunications professionals help companies establish intricate networks of computers, cellular phones, and PDAs in an effort to maintain operations and reach out to new markets even when people are away from their desks; all in the interest of improving the 'bottom line'.. This demand means that telecommunications workers are a hot commodity on the job market today. However, in order to leverage their talents to their best interests, telecommunications workers first need to consider strongly what the want out of a job.

Telecommunications professionals firstly need to assess their short and long term goals. Telecommunication engineers, designers, and managers are best advised to set manageable goals throughout their career and to appraise these when they consider a new job. The telecommunications worker that wants more freedom and input into the creation of new products should possibly work with a smaller cellular or data providing firm; those technically skilled workers who are concerned about money and gaining important corporate experience should work with larger telecommunication providers. In general, a review of short and long-term goals will highlight what a professional wants out of their new job.

Ultimately, the perfect telecommunications job is a matter of personal choice. Professionals in the field need to consider the status within the industry of any company for which they are considering working. For example, a design professional that is interested in growing with a small data stream provider may decide to follow another direction on reviewing the strong competition in the same market from similar companies. This is not to say that the professional should completely discount a company; rather that telecommunications professionals are so valuable in the economy that they need to consider optimising their talents by working with a strong company.

There are a number of other considerations for telecommunications professionals to make in finding the best job for them. Geographical location, which is becoming less important these days, is still important for those working at a corporate office. The possibility of future advancement and financial rewards is a necessity for most telecommunications professionals. Also, there may well be a consideration given by telecommunications workers to the ethics and public service aspects of a potential employer. All of these considerations should be weighed in the balance and a telecommunications professional is then able to be selective in finding the best job.

Are You Making This Mistake On Interview?

By Sue-ellen Farmer, on 09-11-2007

Published in : Career Advice, Interview Tips

Being unprepared for an interview ranks as number one in the TOP 50 Recruiter Turn-Off's and is a sure fire way to kissing goodbye a potentially fantastic job offer.

Interview preparation is a critical stage in the job hunting cycle. The quickest way to have an interview terminated is to give basic, one word, monosyllabic answers.

If your answer to an interview question begins with "Ummmm," is followed by along pause and then another "Um," it doesn't say much for your competency, does it?

To display a lack of preparation for an interview is the quickest way to have your application rejected - regardless of how great your qualifications and professional experience.

Don't Be Scared! Be Prepared!

Nowadays employers often ask questions designed to discover how you would deal with certain situations and how you would behave. Companies want to know about your abilities and track record, not just your knowledge and experience.

Recruiters love to ask the question :

What are your weaknesses?

This is one of the most useless questions anyone could ever ask you. As if anyone is going to admit to being extremely lazy and will only do the bare minimum to get by so they get to hang on to their jobs or that they are always late etc, etc, etc. I am not sure why people still ask it as it is a joke of a question but EVERY interviewer LOVES to ask it.

Your answer should be clear, concise and have a positive spin.

Questions will fall into one of three main categories: factual questions, philosophical questions, and testing questions. Each category of question requires a different sort of answer.

Factual questions require verifiable information about something you've done. Philosophical questions explore your attitudes about business. Testing questions are designed to assess your knowledge or skill.

Go with the flow. Be prepared to change gears at any time.

Anything can happen during an interview. Just as you settle in to answering a series of factual questions (Where did you work? What was your typing speed? How much many people did you supervise?), an interviewer can try to throw you a curve ball by asking you a philosophical question.

Something to keep in mind: tricky questions are not designed to deliberately trip you up. The goal of a complicated question is to give you a chance to shine...to think on your feet...and craft a clear, concise response.

The best way to be prepared for interview is think of a questions that will be most likely be asked at the interview, write out your answers and go through them with someone. Do a rehearsal interview, this is great for ironing out any glitches and will have you more confident at your interview.

Happy Job Hunting.
