Like Attracts Like

As with so many things in life, when hiring online you get what you ask for. The issue is, some of us don’t realize what it is we just asked for. Our image and actions communicate as much as or more than the meaning conveyed by our actual words. Because of this, it’s crucial that we understand what we’re expressing when online.

If you present a sloppy and ill-thought-out persona, that’s who you’ll find when your job proposals start coming in. If you’re only interested in finding the cheapest contractor possible, at the sacrifice of quality, well, you can count on it then. And if you’re looking for quality working relationships, where the job progresses flawlessly, well, you must do your part to make sure that’s what you’re attracting.
