01/14/2005: "A New (Resume and) Job for the New Year"

I often talk to people who are very dissatisfied in their current jobs but express fears about trying to find a new one. Reasons given often include: "I'm waiting for the economy to improve", "My industry is not hiring", and "I'll do it next week (month, year)". I'd like to say that if you're waiting for conditions to be perfect to find a new job, most likely you'll always be waiting. For those resisting or fearful of change, conditions will never be perfect. While you're waiting for the perfect time, the perfect job for you may pass you by. Stop waiting! Write - or get help writing - your resume and move towards improving your life! One more day in a job that drains or depletes you, that robs your confidence or spirit, that downright depresses you is one more day too many. Be proactive and do what it takes to improve your life. And, if you need help, let me know at www.resumeswithspirit.com. Good luck!
