Importance of Attitude

• 85% of the reason people get jobs and get ahead is because of attitude (Zig Ziglar)

• Companies hire for attitude and will train for skills

• Attitude affects body language, words you speak, and energy for the job search


“Consider it pure joy, my brethren, when you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops

perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work.” JAMES 1:2
