At NORTEC, we
acknowledge the
value of work in
creating a healthy,
vibrant community.
That’s why we
strive to create
opportunities and
inspire futures for
our local jobseekers
by truly listening
to understand
and seeking real
solutions for
both jobseekers
and employers
in our region.
We offer a range of recruitment services,
including commercial labour hire and Australian
Government funded no-fee recruitment services.
Our Disability Employment Services division are
a special team at NORTEC who assist persons
with a disability into meaningful employment.
Usually it only takes a few minor modifications
(which we can assist with) to enable jobseekers
to work happily and reap the benefits that work
can bring, not just financially but emotionally
and physically – and their employer reaps the
benefit of a loyal employee!

How to Win
Friends and
Influence People
Part 2
Here is the follow up with the final five tips from
Dale Carnegie to help you in your workplace –
or in your personal life too. There is a lot more
in the book of course so I encourage you to get
your hands on a copy, even for a re-read.
1. Remember names – a person’s name to them is the
‘sweetest sound in the world’. There is a trick to this –
once someone tells you their name, repeat it three times
in your head then try to say their name in conversation
soon after.
2. Be a good listener – if you want to be a good
conversationalist, learn to listen. Ask questions the
person would enjoy answering. To be interesting, be
interested!
3. How to make people like you? If you want to be
appreciated, feel important, worthwhile, give that
feeling to others first. Treat others how you would like to
be treated.
4. To gain cooperation, make a person believe the idea
was theirs. Ask them questions to get them thinking
about the idea until it ‘dawns on them’.
5. Arguments – avoid at all costs and whatever you
do don’t tell someone they are wrong! Most of the
time, you’ll just make someone feel embarrassed,
uncomfortable, or hurt their pride and make them feel
inferior to you.
