In today's ever demanding work force where technical skills are being trumpeted by our higher learning institutions it is worthwhile noting that these so all powerful skills are beginning to be matched or in some cases overshadowed by a subject that nobody teaches or even takes courses for. That subject is attitude.
To get into medical school ten years ago your grades needed to be at minimum a 4.0 and then you needed to do very well, some would say almost perfectly, on your entrance exams. While the standards haven't dropped that much there is now a further requirement that needs to be passed with flying colours. Applicants need to pass a very arduous interview process riddled with questions on their volunteer efforts, their team involvement and history, and numerous other attitude qualifiers.
The point of this interview is to try and isolate potential doctors that will have not only the aptitude to deal with a patients problems but will also properly care for the patient psychologically because they have displayed, understood, learned and natural showcase the appropriate attitude for each necessary situation.
Our leading headhunters proclaim, "Most employers hire on aptitude and then need to fire because of attitude." We then take form this that in order to have staying power and in order to maximize our earnings we must come to work and bring to our lives the proper attitude.
At the end of the day, one can be taught the appropriate technical points for virtually any job, but we need to bring a great attitude to make that knowledge count for something.
In today's market place, the well-paid employee understands that attitude is everything.
