NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Next Level (http://www.clevelonly.com) seminar for senior-level job candidates examines: How realistic is your optimism?
"Obviously a prospective employer evaluating a candidate for a senior-level executive position is wanting to see a take-charge attitude imbued with confidence and optimism," Jack Robbins, CEO of Next Level, says. "It is, one could say, a part of the job description without which a quick rejection is in order but one must take care not to overstate the positive attitude for fear that it might betray an ignorance of the realities in dealing with crucial problems facing the company and sector."
"It could very well be that the last person to occupy the position with the company was terminated because he or she underestimated the very problems the new candidate is expected to confront and to make light of them will be seen as glib," Robbins warns. "One never really knows what might represent the tip of an iceberg that could sink the corporate ship."
"The optimism one expresses should be in one's ability to stay 'awake at the wheel' and confront whatever comes knowing that nothing should be taken too much for granted," Robbins points out. "It is emblematic of a top-level executive that he or she expects problems to present themselves at inopportune times and be able to steer through or around them without damage to the company."
