Ask yourself critical questions on the way to success.
There is no set way to become successful, no guide. You don’t have to emulate every single thing that a successful person, such as reach the same books, listen to the same podcasts, watch the same movies. However, it doesn’t hurt to pick and choose certain rituals that many successful people do and apply them to yourself. Questions, for example, are a great way to probe deeper into your thoughts and mind and find out what you can do to be a better employee/manager/etc. Asking yourself questions is a way to criticize yourself and find out what you can do better. These questions are a great place to start.

7 ways to make your job search less tedious
• 2-minute read •
Job searching may be at the bottom of your “fun things to do” list— but that might just be because you’ve hit the “job search wall.” It happens to the best of us, and it’s pretty common. But it can be reversed!
“Looking for a job is a universal source of anxiety,” says Steve Dalton, author of The 2-Hour Job Search: Using Technology to Get the Right Job Faster. It’s also intimidating, he says, given that there’s a seemingly endless number of job postings at your fingertips.

“This is one of the questions people have the hardest time answering,” says Amanda Abella, a career coach, writer, speaker. “[Your response] tells the interviewer a lot about your character, so it definitely holds a lot of weight.”

Job-seekers worry about their branding, but the folks who worry about it the most are people who are trying to change careers.

Here are some of the branding questions that keep career-changers up at night:

Ten Characteristics Of A Real Team Player
• 2-minute read •
There are motifs in the working world that we have heard so many times we don't think about them anymore. We think these motifs or themes are unassailable, like motherhood and apple pie.
One of the sturdiest and most unassailable themes in the business world is 'teamwork.' We all want to be great team players. We don't want to let down the team. We've been taught since we were tiny children that being a team player is the only way to be.

Sorry, Recruiters: My Salary Is None Of Your Business
• 2-minute read •
I am trying something new this year. For me, it is a big step and a scary project but I'm doing it anyway. I am starting a job search even though my job is secure (as far as I can tell) and I enjoy it.
I can tell that I am unlikely to stay in this job for more than another year or two at most. There is no path to upward advancement here. The working atmosphere is pleasant but I am already at the top of the pay range for my job.
That's why I'm looking around. It's kind of like leading a double life. I enjoy my co-workers but I haven't said a word to them about my job search and I'm not going to.
