Jobs, and job creation, are everywhere in the news right now. Career information is as available as logging on to any server. We're in the middle of a recession -- and I don't care what the government entities think, we're still in the middle of a recession -- and those who are just entering the job market from school are worrying about what they'll do for the rest of their lives; those who have jobs are worried about losing them; those between jobs are worried about finding their next one; and those who are approaching retirement are concerned about whether they'll be stuck playing shuffleboard for the next 30 years...
Where are YOU in this picture? What's your situation, and what concerns do YOU have about your current job, your vision for your career, your long-term goals and...well...your happiness? What, in fact, is your definition of success? And do you know how to achieve it?
I envision this blog as a place where all kinds of people can read, learn and share information about what is, in the good ol' American way, one of the crucial things that defines who you are and where you fit into the world around you: your career. Please join me in exchanging thoughts, ideas, suggestions, questions, answers and comments about anything and everything related to identifying your direction, knowing the value that you can add to an employer's success...and living a satisfying professional life.
Paula...I'm thrilled that you've created this space for discussions about careers and job searches in these "interesting times." I look forward to your posts and the conversations that follow.
