5 Habits To Be Successful

5 Sucessful Habits, Heartland Resumes, Omaha, NE

Success is in the eye of the beholder. Success is a personal definition. There is a list of successful habits that all thriving people follow. Success is not a destination; it is a journey. Each successful habit can help along the journey to success. 

Successful Habit #1 Be deliberate

Start every day with an intention and a purpose. Set meaningful goals to help you get to your desired outcome. If you find that something isn’t aligning with your purpose, move away from it, and be deliberate in your daily actions to move closer to your goals.

Successful Habit #2 Learn from mistakes

All successful people have experienced failure and made mistakes. A productive way to grow from this is by objectively looking back on your failures and gaining wisdom from them. Think about what you would do differently next time and how you can avoid future pitfalls.

#3 Develop a strategic routine

There are 24 hours each day, we all get them, but some seem to accomplish so much in those 24 hours. They do this by having a routine and sticking to it. Each day begins with intent and planning your daily goals. If you are productive in the morning or evening, expect to get the essential things done when you are at your best. 

#4 Take calculated risks

All successful people take risks to help them achieve their goals. Learn to expect uncertainty and be confident enough to bet on yourself. Calculated risks will allow you to achieve real success.

#5 Believe in yourself

You should be your best coach, your best motivator, and your best supporter. Let go of all insecurities and doubts, and believe in yourself. Tell yourself you can do anything you put your mind to, and stop standing in your way.

Knowing a successful habit and not applying it is akin to not knowing it at all. Start with one, work on it for a month and start the next successful habit. With diligent persistence, you will find yourself on your way to changing habits and making progress. If you’re making a career change, make sure you apply these habits and that your resume is up-to-date. Reach out to Heartland Resumes for a professional resume that will garner the attention of the hiring manager!

Resurrect Your Resume

Ressurect your resume before you need it. HEARTLAND RESUMES, OMAHA, NE 402-215-8283

As professional resume writers, we’re lucky to stay busy during many trying times, but this is not the case for millions.  When economic climates indicate that more and more people may be filing for unemployment, many wonder how they can stand out among a sea of job applicants. It’s time to resurrect your resume. 

The Future of Resumes

We all know that a resume has just 7 seconds to grab the employer’s attention. But in today’s chaotic world, that could be even less due to shorter attention spans. One trend we’re seeing is employers asking applicants to submit video resumes. HR professionals are still not interviewing people in person initially, but they still want to get a feel for someone’s character and mannerisms to see if they would be a good fit for their team. A video can work as a personal cover letter to show an employer why you are a good fit.

Be Prepared

If you are still working now, be prepared for tomorrow. Most people wait until they are forced into a job search situation to update their resume. If working from home, use the time you are saving commuting to the office to overhaul your resume or engage a professional resume writer’s service. As recent years have shown, we should all be prepared for anything.

Whether you are experiencing a layoff, furlough, or salary reduction or want to be prepared for what lies ahead, now is the time to adapt your resume. As professional resume writers, we help you identify the points in your career or employment gap that should be spotlighted in your resume. Remember, a potential employer doesn’t want to know your entire employment history, so it’s sometimes necessary to disassociate yourself from things you think were important in your career. It’s better to align your resume with the job posting or type you are searching for. 

Industry Lay-offs should trigger a Strategy.

A job search during a lean economic time or when an industry is experiencing many layoffs takes patience, perseverance, and a solid strategy. For more information on how we can help you, please contact us using the form.
