• No shortage of things which cause fear.
• Waves--feeling rejected, forgotten, misunderstood; sometimes anger, resentment, self-pity and even revenge.
• Uncertainty causes fear—uncertainty extended can be a barrier.

Job Search Myths
1. If I can show my talents, employers will put me in the right opportunity.
2. I must develop the perfect resume.
3. A successful interview is all about chemistry.
4. Most jobs are in print or on the web—80/20
5. There’s a “best” job out there for me—if I don’t find it I’ll be unhappy.

Career Change
“Our working identity is not a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered at the very core of our inner being. Rather, it is made up of many possibilities: some tangible and concrete, defined by the things we do, the company we keep, and the stories we tell about our work and lives.”
Working Identity
Herminia Ibarra

• Become a colleague. Information turns to recruitment.What Color Is Your Parachute? Hidden Job Market
• Technology (Linked-in, Facebook, Twitter) and Face to Face
• Asking the right question. Saying the right thing. At the right time. To the right person….to create INTEREST and POSITIVE IMPRESSION.

Value of Research and Networking
“Intense introspection poses the danger that a potential career planner will get stuck in the realm of daydreams.”
“We learn who we have been and who we might become –--in practice, not in theory—by testing fantasy and reality, through exploration and examination, not just by looking inside.”
- Herminia Ibarra

Finding a Job; Finding Faith
“……he surrendered himself to the slow heart work of seeking God one day at a time and one night at a time in the place where his eyes opened and shut…he got up and fell down, he got up and fell down, he got up over and over again.”
Patrick Hart, Jonathon Montaldo
