Finding the Jobs

When we’re looking for work, no one wants to start from scratch, especially if we’ve been out of work for awhile and we’re anxious to find a satisfying job.

But what if the job search isn’t really yielding interviews, much less job offers?   Starting the job search over from scratch may be just the ticket.

And what’s starting from scratch really mean?

It means REALLY getting to know ourselves.

It means, asking ourselves hard questions like, What am I good at?  What work do I like to do? Where do I want to work, and  in what kind of environment?

– It means committing ourselves to a full-time job search every day.

– It means finding the strength in ourselves to keep going–even when no job offers come your way.

And maybe most of all, it means mustering up the emotional strength to remember that finding a job is well within our reach–when we use the proper tools.

Having trouble getting started?  Don’t know what job to seek or what companies would be the perfect match for our skills?  Check out these Department of Labor sites for help:
