You can Change Your Beliefs

In a recent keynote speech "Eight Keys for Thriving in a Down Economy" by Jeff Schneider he mentioned the above.

This is very likely easier to say than to do. For some reason we humans say we are for change and certainly understand it. Yet many of us fight it or try to avoid it. That makes it hard to change our beliefs.

I find many folks look at an ad for a position and will ignore it because they are missing one , or more, of the qualifications. Yet we know we can do the job. Why do we do this? We forget that many, not all, ads are wish lists. Many times we can do the job yet we believe we will be rejected. What do you have to lose? If you sound confident and share your scope of ability you could end up the ideal candidate. Remember that some people have all the exact requirements as posted yet they don't fit in.

Remember that you can change your beliefs about many things if you will just give it time.
