GA–Personality Traits & Career Satisfaction & Success 5/7/2007

How differently will you approach situations when you understand the personality traits of your boss or peers and could predict how they will react to certain approaches, tactics, phrasing, etc? Are you be more likely to get a promotion or raise if you approached the topic in a way your boss has a tendancy to respond favorably to? Would your peers, clients, vendors say YES more often if you knew which buttons of theirs to push? Will you be more likely to get the job offer if you understood the hiring manager or HR professional’s attitude, body language, and personality?

Here’s some information I got regarding a career fair in my email box.  Now personally I think career fairs are a waste of time as I’ve never gotten a job as a direct result of attending a career fair.  However, I do think that career fairs are an excellent place to network and collect information about companies that you want to work for.
