Here’s a secret to becoming an attractive candidate for your future employer:

Treat Your Current Job - and All Your Previous Jobs - as Great Jobs.

Employers are more attracted to a candidate who is currently a satisfied employee than a dissatisfied employee. They’re looking for candidates who can see the opportunity in every challenge and the best in people, and these candidates are usually satisfied, high-performing employees.

Do you ever noticed that when you are desperately looking for a job, you seem to run up against closed doors, yet when you get what you considered a great job, suddenly you start fielding calls for other exciting opportunities? You may say that this is the law of attraction at work. When you are content and happy in a great job, you create a field that attracts more opportunities for being content and happy - in other words - additional options for great jobs. The best time to look for a new job may be when you don’t need a new job.
