Football fever is in full force around the country, after the incredible penalties win for England on Tuesday! This is the first penalties win since 1996 may we add, taking them through to the quarter finals!
The team have showed dedication and perseverance in their quest for victory, which are both qualities needed when searching for a new job role. The job industry can be a tough nut to crack, but possessing the same attributes that the England squad did during their top 16 performance will help to see you become successful.
Here at Selective Group, we explore the top four attributes the England team have that may help you score your dream job:
1. Dedication
Harry Kane wouldn’t be in with a chance of winning the golden boot of the World Cup without his dedication to his sport, practising time and time again to improve his skills. The same goes for you when looking for a new position. Work and rework your CV until you know it highlights your skills and experience in the best light.
When searching for a role, it is important to commit to searching regularly, if not daily, for new roles being advertised. Your dedication to your search will eventually pay off and you will find exactly what you are looking for.
2. Don’t Give Up
Perseverance can be a struggle. You may have applied to many roles and had rejection after rejection, but the key is to never give up. It might seem like the easy option, but in reality it will leave you worse off than if you were to persist with your search!
When Columbia scored the equaliser, it would have been easy for the team to give up and not put as much effort in, but instead they pushed harder and got the outcome that they were hoping for. If you apply this same mentality to your job search, you are more likely to come out on top.
3. Belief
It can be hard picking yourself up after a rejection, but having belief in yourself and your skills will help you to carry on your search. If you are confident in yourself, this will reflect positively on you when a potential employer comes to meet you.
Throughout their journey so far, the England team have showed a strong sense of belief that has helped elevate and motivate them. Believing in yourself will help you to feel more confident about the roles you are applying for and will also help your inner confidence.
4. Team Work
Some may see searching for a new role as an individual struggle, however just like in football, a goal can’t always be made without an assist. Using a recruiter to help with your search will benefit you in the long run and will cover more ground.
Building up a good relationship with your recruiter and working together is guaranteed to end in success. After all, team work makes the dream work!
