Effort

Effort.

We all think we’re putting it in.

But are we as much as we think we are?

Take applying for a job for example:

Is effort applying for the job?

Or is effort applying for the job with a good cover letter?

Or is effort applying for the job with a whole web page dedicated to the position, what you can bring to the role, covering ideas you’ve already explored ahead of time to show outsized commitment?

It depends on what you consider effort, I suppose.

But of the examples above, one interpretation of effort is going to produce far better results than the others.

Effort… are you putting it in?
