HEART

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.” ~ Kahlil Gibran


Happy Valentine’s Day to you! Regardless if you have a significant other or not, each of you should be celebrating this day because as an unemployed individual, you are the one who has heart.


You get up each morning and face the day unlike those who head off to work. You have figured out how to live on less, yet you still try to stay positive and committed to your job search. Each day brings new opportunities to meet someone who might be the lead to your next job.


You step out of your comfort zone and attend a networking meeting with a sea of others you do not know (I applaud you for this…) Many of you will get ready today for an interview, and pull out of your gut that ounce of confidence that is still there. (again, I applaud you because I know this isn’t easy).


You are the ones who need to be celebrated on a day like today. You have heart, spirit, fortitude, bravery, and courage like no other group of individuals I have ever met.



Here’s to you, the unemployed! Go out and celebrate your situation today. Yes, celebrate it…it’s been handed to you for a reason, and hopefully soon, when you are in a new career or job, you will look back and understand why.



GOOD NEWS: Twitter is being utilized by more and more recruiters as a tool to find YOU! If you are not involved with this job site yet, please take a look at this opportunity to find more “hidden” jobs. I will be holding a Twitter for Your Job Search workshop in the very near future…stay tuned for more information, but until then, here is a good article to read and get started: 7 Categories of Who to Follow on Twitter for Your Job Search. http://tinyurl.com/4nv3ubz
