No Job is Too Small

Brought to you by Career Solutions Publishing...

When you're new to a job, don't know exactly what to do, and afraid of making mistakes, your challenge is to find ways to show your company why it made a good decision in hiring you. You may find yourself assisting others, serving in a secondary role, or doing work that is dull and boring. If that's the case, show you are willing to complete every task, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.

Do you think celebrities get lucky and achieve overnight career success? Or do they work persistently for a long time before making it? "If you work hard, whatever you want will come to you. I know that's easier said than done, but keep trying." Beyonce Knowles "I just really care about what people see. I want them to know that I'm working hard for this career. Expect me to give my all. That's what I do every time I have a show. Give my all." Bruno Mars "As a struggling actor, you're not looking for work that defines you. You're just looking for work." Matt Damon "Where I excel is my ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping, I'm working." Will Smith "I'm intimidated by the fear of being average." Taylor Swift "I think I've stayed focused on my work so much that I haven't really noticed my life start to change." Jennifer Lawrence "Without the work, the magic won't come." Jay-Z
