If I Don't Have Anything on My Calendar, I'll Look for a Job! author:Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A. source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/self_improvement_and_motivation/article_1839.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:18 category:self_improvement_and_motivation article:
I actually had someone say that to me today as I was in a thrift store. She is one of the employees and has been cut to two days a week of employment. I invited her to a job seekers workshop that will presented, free, this coming week at a public agency. The comment, above, WAS her response. I didn't know what to say next. I offered to drive her home after the workshop. She has no car. Again, there was no response to my offer. I've had others respond to job seeking in- formation in a similar manner. What is it that makes people pass up opportunities to be helped in a job search? Here are some of my ideas.
The person wants to go it alone. A message may not be heard. People make more problems for themselves than they already have The job search is not a real priority. Personal embarrassment may have the person blocked from listening. No goals.
Job searching is often a lonely business. I think a job seeker NEEDS and has to use as many resources as possible to find work. I know I would and have! ZZZZZZ
