One of the things people judge you on right away is your confidence. I’ve said before that you create your own reality. If you come across as someone who doesn’t take any BS you won’t be given any BS. If you put a kick me sign on your own back every morning people will kick you. It’s jut he way it works. I dont’ have a reason, but I’ve seen it work to many times to question it.
Our little group recently hired a new team mate. My immediate impression after working with her on a few cases, is that “she’s comfortable in her own skin.”
What I mean by that is she’s confident, but not over confident in her skills and abilities to do the job and learn anything she doesn’t already know. This is EXACTLY where you want to be.Yes she has years of OR experience so you may think its easy for her to act confident, but then you’d be missing the point.
We have students come through here who come across the same way. They are comfortable with themselves and willing to learn. Contrast that with the students we have who won’t talk to or touch a patient. They are terrified of their own shadows and won’t do ANYTHING with EXPLICIT instructions. Those people may learn over time, but it’s a much much slower process. The teachers get tired and frustrated.
Over confidence and bravado aren’t helpful, but to me I see them so rarely that I’d ere on that side of the spectrum.
Another thing that makes it so you exude confidence is having knowledge. No better place to look than The Final Step for that. 1,200 key term questions that will put the right answers right on the tip of your tongue.
