If you're ready for a new job...
OK, suppose you're one of those who is dissatisfied with your job. You've been hanging onto it because you read the job market statistics and think you have few, if any, options. I would like to encourage you to ignore those statistics and start job searching! Life is too short to be spending hours every day in a situation that doesn't fit you or worse, completely stresses you out.

Ignore those job statistics! You only need one new job, not hundreds or thousands. Despite the tight economy, employers are continuing to hire. People move, get promoted, retire, etc and jobs are created. Now, it is easier when it's an employees' market and employers don't have the luxury of being quite so choosy. But, no doubt, you have more to bring to an amployer than you're recognizing. Polish up that resume! Send it to me (gc@resumeswithspirit.com) and I'll be happy to critique it for you.

Stop waiting and start moving to your future happiness. Wishing you career - and job search - success!
