They will show up, do what they are told to do and not one whit more. They won't make any effort to learn what the employer's business is all about and what role their tasks play in the business. They won't make any effort to get to know the boss and what his challenges are. They will work on a here-today-gone-tomorrow.Two, others will take the opposite tact. They will treat the job as an opportunity to show their skills, attitude, work habits, and adaptability...the assets that could lead to a permanent job.Despite Job Losses, Opportunities Still ExistNo doubt about it, the prolonged recession/depression is causing many employers to freeze hiring or reduce jobs.
