Which job seekers land jobs more quickly?

Many people ask me what typifies people who find jobs quickly in today's competitive market. I am finding that the job seekers who believe in themselves, have a positive attitude, and confidently tell employers, friends and neighbors what they are passionate about doing -- these people are the ones with short job searches. They excite people with their drive, sense of direction and passion for their work.

If you don't know what you want to do, find out now. With a strong sense of direction and purpose, you will easily convince yourself and a potential employer that you are worthy to be hired.
