Interviews - Source: Climber.com - September 14,2011

Time and time again, we hire those candidates who have the right skills, a desire to succeed and who remain upbeat about their current situation. You can increase your chances of being hired dramatically by simply maintaining a positive outlook. Think about it, recruiters can hear when you are smiling on a phone interview. Today, practice being positive and see how you can change the world around you. William James, a philosopher and psychologist, once said, "The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." Create a positive inner attitude and you can change your life and career. Remove those negative things in your life whether they be the newspaper stories (I gave up reading or listening to news for my New Year's resolution) or friends who choose to focus on the negative things.
