▼ + stars: | 2024-05-19 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The trick to getting ahead at work isn't being the fastest learner or the smartest in the room — it's having a positive attitude, says Amazon CEO Andy Jassy. Jassy, who took the top job at Amazon after Jeff Bezos stepped down in 2021, shared his "best career advice" in a new interview with LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky. "I think an embarrassing amount of how well you do, particularly in your 20s, has to do with attitude," Jassy, 56, said. Having a positive attitude means you work well on a team and honor deadlines, among other strengths. Regardless of where you're at in your career, having a positive attitude can help you build stronger relationships in the workplace.

☆ Dabney Coleman: Where to Stream His Best Movies and TV Shows

The veteran character actor Dabney Coleman died Thursday at 92. Coleman began appearing in movies and TV series in the 1960s, when he was in his early 30s, and from the beginning, he had the look and the attitude of a grumpy middle-aged man. Much of Coleman’s best TV work — like the short-lived sitcoms “Buffalo Bill” and “The Slap Maxwell Story,” and the soap opera parody “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” — aren’t available to stream. And while he had roles in dozens of very good films and TV shows, he was often low in the billing. The seven Coleman performances below, though, are both outstanding and substantial, showcasing his imposing screen presence and ace comic timing.

The class of 2024 is facing a tough job market. Hiring has slowed across the U.S., and entry-level jobs are getting more competitive in the wake of white-collar layoffs. Tai Walker, a senior at William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey, started her job search in March 2024 and has submitted over 100 applications. Walker says she's researching artificial intelligence and other tech boot camps to broaden her skill set and increase her job prospects. Even though some entry-level jobs have gotten harder to land, industries experiencing staffing shortages like education and construction are still hiring new college grads.

Remote work opportunities have fluctuated since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic but FlexJobs has seen a slight uptick in the companies actively recruiting for work-from-anywhere positions. To help job-seekers find the best remote, flexible gigs, FlexJobs has identified the most in-demand work-from-anywhere jobs companies are hiring for by analyzing its database for the work-from-anywhere jobs with the highest volume of postings between January and April 2024. Such jobs, however, are increasingly competitive to land, only accounting for about 5% of all remote roles, FlexJobs reports. Most remote jobs have location requirements, mainly due to state and federal regulations that dictate where companies can hire people and do business. If you're hoping to land a work-from-anywhere job, Spencer recommends highlighting in-demand soft skills that commonly appear in remote job ads, including project management and adaptability, on your resume and LinkedIn profile.

On the return trip, I simply plugged in a Supercharger along my route into the computer and headed down the road. The truck immediately began charging at warp speed compared to my other two tries, adding 140 miles of range every hour. I dropped off the truck with about 125 miles of range right next to a Supercharger. On my next road trip in an EV, I'll double-check my adapters — and not count on random ones to get the job done.

Instead, it's about how well you can prioritize your commitments, deadlines, projects and work, says Juliette Han, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist and adjunct professor at Columbia Business School. If you want a second opinion on your job audit, Han suggests consulting either a colleague or your manager. "Tell them you're evaluating your current workload to maximize your productivity and focus on some bigger goals," she says. For example: You might be less responsive to emails, but if you're using that free time on deep-focus work, you're probably turning in better-quality work. "Thinking through all the components of your workload and how these help — or hurt — your career development is super important," Han stresses.
