HAPPY NEW YEAR
“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.” ~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce
What an amazing thought- you get this clean slate, an unpolluted opportunity to recreate yourself, begin again, wake up on New Year’s Day considering the possibilities, and envisioning 2011 to be your year for success.
Bundle up all the unfair, awful, sad, uncomfortable, unsure, and angry feelings and experiences and toss them in the trash with the uneaten fruitcake, and wake up on Sunday January 1st to give yourself a pat on the back for making it through 2010.
As the famous Nike advertisement says, “Just do it”.
Then take a deep breath and thank God you are alive and have the opportunity to start anew in the New Year. Fresh, Optimistic, Encouraged, Promised, Persistent, Determined, Confident, Fortunate, Free, Affirmed, Tenacious, Hopeful, and Grateful, with a vision to push forward on this journey to find a job.
Remember, the job search is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay the course. Put one foot ahead of the next and keep walking towards the finish line. You’ll make it…
“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” ~Oprah Winfrey
Here’s to getting out of life what you vision it to be in 2011~
GOOD NEWS: “In 2010, the economy rebounded fitfully from the Great Recession, starting strong, wobbling at midyear, but showing enough vigor by year's end to quell fears of a second recession.” (Associated Press) There were new jobs posted this week, and unemployment claims were down for last 4 weeks in a row.
CONGRATULATIONS: To Jeanne C., who recently accepted a position with the Orange County YMCA organization overseeing the after school program. Jeanne found this position by her continued networking and it was actually a friend who works for the company that connected her to this job opportunity.
BACTS FACT: “There is a “soul mate” of a job awaiting you…go find it with pure resolve.” ~ Jan Smith
THAT'S IT: Goodbye 2010…and don’t let the door hit you on the way out! I know it’s what many of you are thinking. Just don’t let the defeat of not finding work this year follow you into 2011. Why drag it forward?
Start today seeing yourself in a job next year. Get prepared with everything I have suggested this year (resume, networking, social networking, interviewing skills, etc.)
Good luck to each of you in 2011. Let me know of your success. Email me if you have job-related questions next year. If you hear of job openings, networking opportunities, or job fairs, please let me know so I can share with the rest of the BACTS group. Don’t forget to check the BACTS group on LinkedIn, as I try to post information there throughout the month.
