SEASONS
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend.”~Ecclesiastes 3
Seasons are made up of many things…time, weather, environment, circumstances, and they come and go. It is my hope that you have been able to process the seasons of unemployment this year so you can move on in 2011:
· Shock/Denial (this isn't happening to me!)
· Anger (why is this happening to me?)
· Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
· Depression/Reflection/Loneliness (I don't care anymore)
· Hope/Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)
I encourage you to be ready for whatever comes next --BECAUSE, there is something around the corner for you! The signs of improvement are all around us. Be ready to accept that something good can happen to you. Don’t be a naysayer and discount the possibility of success. It’s possible for you to find a job in 2011 even if you have been off work for a long time, found a job and lost a job this year, or didn’t even get an interview this year.
GOOD NEWS: The trend of more job openings continues even though it is the traditional “quiet” period for recruiting. Major companies in our area have multiple jobs listed on their websites. Continue looking this week at your job listing sites. Submit resumes this week and next as well.
CONGRATULATIONS: To those who are interviewing this week, I wish you much success!
BACTS FACT: “Be ready for that next phone call, as it might be a phone screen interview!” ~Jan Smith
THAT'S IT: “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant. If we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” ~Anne Bradstreet

As we approach this week of Christmas, I want to wish all of you the best possible holiday with you and your family. For those of you struggling over gifts under the tree, remember, it is your family and health that really make you wealthy.
“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.” ~Calvin Coolidge
Good luck on the job search this week and Merry Christmas!
