Same position, different company, and the same old conflict? It's you, and you're the last to know! Unresolved personal baggage stalk you until you deal with the real issue.
It is not even a personality issue. You’re argumentative, a know-it-all, and complainer. A never-ending hub for conflict. The Nero of Negativity. The hero of hostility.
When you have the same types of conflicts, controversies, and complaints at every department, division, company, city, and state, they all have one common denominator…you!
Problem children leave doubt after the before the hiring process ends. The exception: you interview with employers who are just like you. You get hired, but the real character issue continues.
One or two interviewers might tell you discover the problem, but you've pulled the "You-don't-know-me" card in your heart, and never you never listen or benefit from the experience.
You don’t listen, and that might be the core of the problem.
What are the signs of being a troubled child?
- You're too quick to defend and too slow to listen.
- Are you good at your job? Yes. Do others get credit for helping you achieve results? No.
- Perhaps you're a hot head. No one likes working with a quick tempered person. Not even a quick-tempered person likes a hot-head. Yeah that’s you!!
- You step on others to look good, and too insecure to let your merits stand alone.
- Can't be nice when no one embraces you. Can't be cordial when someone isn't.
- You'll say “yes” to authority, and grimace “no” with your facial expressions.
- Do you disagree more than agree?
- You swear no one will listen to you because everyone is jealous.
“What would your former co-workers say about you?” an interviewer asks?
- Is your answer, “They don’t appreciate what I do?”
- Dump the baggage of conflicts, so you can find a job!
