The first mistake that many people make when searching for a job, is not understanding this fundamental fact. Opportunity is created by you; it generally does not come to you. You are the one who will make or break your career in any field at any point in your life.

This means a fundamental realization that you are responsible for your actions and their outcomes. You have to make it work, and then it will inevitably work for you.

1. The first thing you need to avoid is this notion of looking for a job, what you want to do is create opportunities. When in this mindset you will put yourself way ahead of the rest.

This will be reflected in your actions and being an individual who creates opportunity, you will build value. These, my friends, are the type of people that companies want to employ. These are the type of people that others want to be associated with.

2. You should avoid talking about you and instead talk about getting results. This is not a personality contest. Your objective is simple, "Get results". Everything else is just a waste of your time and everybody else's. Everything else is a distraction, if what you are doing is not yielding results, then drop it.

When in an interview, talk results and show how those results can be achieved.

3. Avoid those who say you can't. You know a lot of people are afraid to dream, it's actually not the dreaming they are afraid of, it's more about what others will say regarding their dreams. Do not be afraid to dream big.

Do not be afraid to go after what you love, because if love is the motivating factor, then you have nothing to fear. By the way this is not some crazy ideal, ask anyone who hates their job how they feel?

To conclude, you will be the one who either goes out and lives life - or gets over taken by it. Create your opportunities, and then failure will only be that which got you closer to success.
