Stayed at one for about 7 years, put chunks of time in at others. For a while it used to bother me, but then I accepted that life has changed. It is not so unusual to move around, virtually all of my friends have had similar experiences.<br /><br />It is easy to say, but stay tough. It does get better.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876927588035209305.post-86679747311632630682009-05-18T19:20:00.000-04:002009-05-18T19:20:00.000-04:00Being unemployed is tough, no doubt about it.

If you keep your self-confidence, then you will be ready to tackle any new opportunities that do come your way (and they will!)SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876927588035209305.post-29895112535816874572009-05-18T17:14:00.000-04:002009-05-18T17:14:00.000-04:00BBB, send me your email (rmmissel@gmail.com) and I...BBB, send me your email (rmmissel@gmail.com) and I will send you the exercise.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558673466079104582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876927588035209305.post-22904742585803307922009-05-18T15:09:00.000-04:002009-05-18T15:09:00.000-04:00I'd love to know what values clarification tool yo...I'd love to know what values clarification tool you're using....Joanna Brichettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935684255623864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876927588035209305.post-37440231483391688952009-05-18T13:36:00.000-04:002009-05-18T13:36:00.000-04:00I am need of a Life-GPS that soothingly utters, "r...<I>I am need of a Life-GPS that soothingly utters, "recalculating."</I>I LOVE that line :)<br />Best of luck!SaraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053908720926177402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876927588035209305.post-27245535849522246842009-05-17T06:40:00.000-04:002009-05-17T06:40:00.000-04:00Here's what I'll say...I wasn't sure what I wanted...Here's what I'll say...I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next at all and was just keeping an open mind. Then I learned about my current job and I was just like YES that sounds like something I would do. I don't think I could have told you ahead of time that I wanted to do it, but it's a great fit.Ima Shalomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061606719970415577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3876927588035209305.post-19162093676577257972009-05-17T00:30:00.000-04:002009-05-17T00:30:00.000-04:00It's hard when you're in it to see it this way, bu...It's hard when you're in it to see it this way, but for the reasons you wrote above this is the perfect chance to re-evaluate your professional life and go in a different direction if you want. When I got laid off, I was an MBA selling computers and working with people who didn't all have bachelor's degrees. After thinking about what I wanted to do and taking some calculated risks (I turned down a job offer to wait for an offer from a place that didn't pay as well), I landed in the perfect position for me. I will swear up and down forever that getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me professionally.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501231232413758151noreply@blogger.com
