Hi Chester,
I’m glad you liked the topic – it is an important one to me. One of the hardest things my clients face is handling the stress and anxiety of the unknown. Having faith that everything will turn out all right is hard to do. I believe God has a plan for us also – and that he is ready and available to give us help, any time we ask. Just like in this story. Emily

Hi Melanie. I agree – I wrote this blog after a close friend had the scenario I wrote about happen to her. I have 7 secrets to job search success and one of them is this: be a person not a piece of paper. To me part of being a person includes helping others and being thoughtful about the impact of your actions on others. Emily

I've heard stories before that my friend helped her friend to get the job but my friend lost hers. Yes, very risky sometimes but not at all times. Melanie@College and Career Planning

That's a very good topic. It's not good to keep everything inside. I always believe that God has a plan for all of us in His will. Chester@Community Colleges

Comment on Yo ho, is a Pirate’s Life for You? by Viviana

This is fabulous!! I love the pirate parallel–what a great illustration.

Many years ago, right after college, I was that seasick pirate. A dear friend said, “If we all have a set of 10 keys, I would say that only 2 or 3 of yours fit into your locks.” It really helped me to stop trying to force a fit, and instead expend my energy finding a job that was a better fit.

Comment on Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Days – Part I by Terrie

Em.
Loved the article, (Mike sent it to us), the first paragraph made me laugh and reminded me of my own job searches 2 years ago before I got my job in Mike’s group. For me I had to talk to myself and to ignore my fear of something new and look at my hobby-like skills and see if I could trade on them for something new. So my new motto was to never turn down an opportunity even if it wasn’t something I thought I would like. Sometimes the miracle we’re looking for is within us…

Thanks, Terrie! Your job search strategies were great – and obviously worked well for you! And I agree with your motto – sometimes we forget we can always TURN DOWN an offer if it isn’t right — but it we don’t check it out, we might miss out on a great opportunity. Emily
PS – I hope you’ll pass on the site to others and will keep up with it as it continues to grow! E.
