What Defines A Badass Job By: Brad Alexander | - People want a badass job so they can escape from the drudgery of the 9 to 5, the rat race or cubicle hell. But what jobs are considered badass is merely a matter of perception. Just like cubicle hell is merely a matter of perception.

Are you having second thoughts about whether to stick to your current job or not?

Job Search And Qualifications, The Process By: Peter Lee | - If you are just starting a job search you may find that it does take some effort on your part. It is never easy to look for a new position even if you are currently employed. The job search process can be a grueling one especially if you are not prepared.

But if you are in the market for a permanent p ... Tags:jobs, careers, job search, jobsearch, job search engine, works, employment

There Is No Bigger Job Market Than These The United States Of America By: Jack Kim | - Various studies show being unemployed, or being fired, as being one of the most stressful and traumatic events in our lives. No wonder, a job is more than a paycheck and we all know this. The job becomes us, it defines us and gives us value, or at least to some of us, it does. When we lose all that in one brief meeting in the office (and it always comes as shock, even the long awaited layoffs), it is any wonder we enter into various stages of denial, anger, shame, and so forth.

Is There A Worse Way To Find A Job? By: Jack Kim | - I read an article in today's newspaper and came away, asking myself, "Is there worse way to look for a job?" Evidently, there was a job fair downtown yesterday. 135 companies and/or employers were present and about 5,000 job seekers attended. Right off the bat, on a straight line average, that is about 37 applicants to every company. Second off the bat, I hate those odds. It all becomes just a glorified cattle call.

What Can You Believe In? By: Chris Makell | - If you believe you can or you believe you can't you're absolutely right! My modification of the famous Henry Ford quote is a timely reminder for today's environment. There is so much in front of us and swirling around us, that it's really up to us to believe in ourselves. The "stuff" that's happening is presenting each of us with an opportunity to go inside and find out what we believe and how we can use that belief to stay focused and centered on what it is we want for ourselves.
I Hate My Job, Now What? By: Kristi Ambrose | - It's an unfortunate thing but most people absolutely hate their job or worse yet they work for a bad boss.

I would argue that it's the one thing we can continuously strengthen, without the physical component, as we get older! Focusing on that which moves you in the direction of your greatest desires will build incredible "mind muscle". But how do you stay focused when all around you the swirl and dust of chaos gets in your eyes and throws you off balance? You've probably heard there is dead calm in the middle of a tornado? Your ...

How To Fearlessly Face A Transition By: Chris Makell | - Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish. - - Jean De La Fontaine
We're in the season of some of the greatest transitions of our time. Some good: a new year, a new and historic government (in the US), low interest rates. Some not so good feeling...layoffs, resource actions, mortgage and money challenges.

In any transition or when starting something new it's always helpful, actually essential, to be clear on your outcome, aim or purpose - also known as intention. How essential? Have you ever started something, perhaps a home improvement project, an intricate task or something like a small and simple search, and in the midst of it been so overwhelmed you just wanted to or actually quit? You may even have said, "now why did I start this?" If you don't hav ... Tags:Transition, laid off, entrepreneur, nonprofit, intention, commitment, next steps, starting new, hate job

You're Not Alone If You Hate Going To Job Interviews By: Carole Martin | - "I know I could do the job if they would just give it to me. Why do I have to prove myself?

Hate Your Job? Take Action Before It's Taken For You By: Judi Perkins | - Ever been fired and it was a complete surprise? If you have, it shouldn't have been. You missed the cues.

Do you spring up in the morning looking forward to another day at work, or do you hit the snooze button at least three times and secretly look forward to scanning the want-ads for a new job? If your snooze button is getting a work out, you're not alone. A recent Gallup poll found that fifty percent of working Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs. Hmmm, that's starting to sound like a familiar divorce statistic.
Many years ago, I hated what I was doing for a living and engaged a career coach. As a first assignment, she encouraged me to write down several short stories about times and events in my life where I influenced the outcome. I was stumped at first, but after a few days, I came up with over 15 pages of "stories". These were about times in my life where I not only influenced the outcome but also grew myself and bettered the existence of others around m ...
