The Hunt Continues
When I embarked on my quest to find a job back at the first of the year, I knew the job market was tight and it might be tough to find an “A - list” job, but never expected to have difficulty a job. I have never been a supporter of unemployment insurance or welfare, as I always preached that when you need a job, you take what ever job you can find and create an opportunity from there. You see:
- Good employees are hard to find
- True leaders are even harder to find
- You do the very best you can do and your employer or someone else will recognize it.
- Do more than is required and do everything you do with excellence – the pay and advancement will follow.
- Any job contains a seed of opportunity
- Most opportunities are created, not given or stumbled upon,
- You are the determining factor in whether a job is a good one or bad one,
- Your future depend on you alone.
We put everything we had in to helping our company survive the tough economic times and when we recognized that we were going to have to do something else, I set out with all diligence to get a job. We are not independently weathly, so being unemployed was not an option. Now after an exhaustive search with over 1,000 resumes out, I am running out of options.
