The best tips for finding a great spouse are remarkably similar to those used to find a great job. Now I'm going to counsel you on looking for a job, by showing you how similar the processes are in seeking a professional relationship and seeking a marriage partner.

The first rule is: IN A DATE ACT LIKE YOU WOULD EVENTUALLY LIKE TO GET MARRIED! First impressions aren't always right, so even if it's not the most promising at first, give it a chance. Sometimes the best jobs for your career at first seem to have too low a salary, too little opportunity for growth, or seem not to be with the right enterprise, product or people. After some meetings, all of those concerns were met with flexible solutions, offering customized growth opportunities and better pay. Don't give up on yourself too easily or too soon. Discuss it. Anticipate problems and try to think ahead. Work hard to get your foot in the door. You have to seek the good ones yourself.

MAKE THEM LOVE YOU! You are better off to accept as many proposal's as possible, every proposal gives you the chance to show your employer the value's you have that can contribute to there organization, and make you and much more valuable employee. A job often goes to the person who best communicates their value, not necessarily the most qualified applicant. Don't rely on your resume to win the job; Jump in there and show them why you're the best prospect. Don't be afraid to compete! Be the best solution to their problems.

DO NOT DISCUSS LONGTERM PLANS, LIKE MARRIAGE, ON THE FIRST DATE! Money is what everybody wants to talk about at first. Resist that urge. I understand the difficulty of this statement. Research the needs of an organization, and then show them your qualifications and skills. A fair price for the services you are offering can THEN be determined, once you have identified how you will meet their organizations needs.

YOU SHOULDN’T ACCEPT EVERY PROPOSAL! If you have taken the time to investigate an opportunity and establish future networking relationships, then you haven't wasted your efforts, even if you don't make a deal this time. Both of you will have still had some benefits, and you can move on to additional opportunities that are more to your liking.

Who can tell the future? You could find your dream job and ideal mate!
