Sorry you feel that being optimistic provides “false hope.” Maybe if we started with a little optimism the “gloom doom” scenario might not be so bad. You get what you put out there no matter how bleak the job market is. All the best to you in your job search.

This completely impractical article felt like “walk in cricles.”

Offering no substantial advice of how to “start from scratch,” the article reads more like blind optimism to the point of ignorance in the middle of an armageddon.

For those struggling with finding a job, this article will give false hope to the imperceptive, while causing the conscientious job searcher to cringe at bleakness of his/her situation.

Hi Lisa,
I just happened to come across your article at the right time! For the past several months, I have been contemplating on whether or not to get into a new field. I’ve been tirelessly trying to market myself based on my current skills and experience, but it’s been a long road for me to find the right job match. I’ve always been an optimist and know that with perseverance, I will succeed. The “unknown” is sometimes hard to battle!
Thanks for your article. Great job!
Michael

I’ve just dropped a comment on your post, which I enjoyed, via Linked In.

It resonated with me since I’ve recently decided that I really want to focus on my own coaching and training business now rather than senior HR interim roles.

I’ll send you a Linked In invite, and would certainly like to talk to you regarding the use of television features and other media to help the millions who are “stuck” and lacking direction in their professional lives.

I have always been a person that believes that the glass is always half full. This past year ALMOST had me believing the opposite. I spend a part of my year on searches for my clients that were put on hold or filled from within. The balance of my efforts were in support of other recruiters. No control in this area. This was not a year to remember but one to forget. Throughout the year I maintained contact with my clients and made cold calls to other companies. Some of the work is already starting to payoff. I now have a few good searches to complete and my attitude is intact. A possive attitude will always give you possitive results. The timing may not be on your schedule but when the business turns back in your direction you will be ready!!

Lisa, I just read your latest post. At first, I was concerned as it began by painting a very bleak picture. It finished strong and postive. With that in mind, I’d like to invite you to link with one more Michigan based HR guy. I’ll thank you in advance for your acceptance.
