Optimistic Jobhunters More Likely to Succeed
The unemploy number in the UK edges closer to 2 million. It’s hard time for people to find a desirable position.
According to research by the Guardian and recruitment advertising agency Barkers, the optimistic jobseekers, who think positively, would enjoy more success in landing a new position than pessimists. The survey of more than 3000 jobseekers suggests that positive thinking, pro-activity and decisiveness are the key factors that differentiate the successful candidates from the rest.
The successful jobhunters are more likely to register for job alerts and upload their CVs on job sites and they are 60% more likely to describe themselves as optimistic about finding the role they wanted than the less successful group.
