Career gurus be like “top 5 interview tips” but forget the most important one of all:
Actually being the best candidate.
Do you have a track record of being completely indispensable at every job you’ve ever had?
Are you resourceful enough to get things done under the worst of circumstances? Do you offer 10 solutions for every 1 complaint?
Do you jump out of bed and attack the day’s objectives with crystal clear focus? Do you do all of that while having fun, feeling good and helping others?
Best way to guarantee you’ll be the best candidate for any job you apply for:
Be the best employee at every company you’ve worked for.
This includes the jobs you hate.
Work on yourself first, then work on your resume.
