"Look at the donut, not the hole." ...age-old advice from one of my former coaches, reminding us to look at what we have, not what we don't


Remember, Babe Ruth may have been one of the great homerun hitters of all time, but he also struck out a lot, too. The job search is just like that, especially in this economy. Keep getting back up there and swinging for the fence!

Tuesday's Leads: Get Your Hands Dirty


Consider the truth in this statement, particularly as a job seeker.  Of course, you don't need to actually get your hands dirty and grimy, but we can't be afraid to do the "dirty work" to get ourselves positioned for a job.  We have to be willing to make the cold calls and drop off the resumes and network with people who can help us, the dirty work of the job search.  Unfortunately, we can't always just sit back and wait for the jobs to come our way (but wouldn't that be nice!), and we can't simply rely on internet applications, where we are but a faceless number.

So don't be afraid to "get your hands dirty."  You could be rewarded with a great career!


Have a great day!
