Over Forty and Looking for Work
and personal problems while you are looking for work is invalu-
able. Join a job search and/or career change support group facili-
tated by a seasoned and qualified career professional. Share your
experiences and compare notes with others who are dealing with
the same issues. Exchange ideas, plan your job search campaign
together and have others critique your results. Help yourself and
help others in the process. Believe me it will make your journey
much easier.
Be innovative in your approach.
Lastly, some enlightened soul said the following. " If you think you
can't, you can't, if you think you can, you can." In short, how we
see our job search or career change campaign will determine in
large part if we are successful. I agree that the market right now is
lousy, or as one of my clients said recently, "on R & R somewhere
else ! ", but I know from experience that there is always a way; if
not through the front door of the company, then through the back
door; if not over the Internet and job ads, then through network-
ing; and if not by traditional methods then by improvisation and
new ideas. Don't be afraid to step outside of the box and try
something different. Be a job search entrepreneur!
Keep at it......You will succeed.
