The first day of spring has arrived and many of us are thinking about the opportunity to get organized and start spring cleaning.

Most recent post-secondary graduates find that their degree cannot guarantee stable employment. Christian McCrave, 21, studied engineering at the University of Guelph, but cannot find a job in his field. His most recent job experience on his resume is a sales associate at Winners. McCrave believed that if you work hard at school, you will end up with a good and stable job. However, he found that after graduating, that was not the case. McCrave has applied to over 250 engineering-related jobs and has only landed 4 interviews, with 0 job offers. Unfortunately, he is not the only one in this case.

With approximately 2/3 of one's day being spent at work, it's only natural that relationships will develop within the workplace. Working with others to successfully complete projects, taking lunch breaks together and working in a close environment on a regular basis are definite ways to assist in the development of sparks!

There are many things you can do to enhance your performance at work...things that don't occur to many other people. Your chances of success at work can be determined mainly by your attitude and the way you spend your time both in and out of the workplace.
