Job Search In Recession

Hello,
What a wonderful month January was, init?
Looking back to 1st of January, i hope some of us can successfully tick right some achievements as laid down at the beginning of the year. If not, don't get discouraged, you can start that thing you decided to do.... So go for it!

I hear a lot in the news about companies closing down in the tens and jobs being lost in the thousands; so pathetic. Someone said and i quote "Recession is when your neighbour looses his/her job and Depression is when you loose your job".... this is more pathetic.

I really feel for those who lost their jobs due to the recession but i have come here to tell you that today that yours is here to stay and most importantly that for those who are still searching your job is outside there. I often tell ask job seekers whose report do you believe? I know quite a number of people who have gained employment in the so called "recession". Don't get me wrong, i know the world economy is in recession at the moment and will not use my blog to point out fingers on what is or might be the cause.

So as i was saying, gaining employment in this time is 100% possible, only if you will not relent and if you would believe and have faith. (Faith; the substance of things you are yet to receive).

I put it to you today that your career path, does not start and stop in how many qualifications you have and how many professional certification you have in your credit. Yes, i know your experience as well count, ... yes at that; even its the most. But, there is something that counts more, your FAITH.

As so many change careers or search for jobs, fresh graduates, experienced hands etc, i advise you do not forget the place of FAITH. Because, it brings to reality that job which you are about to start.

I congratulate all that as decided to take this step as sure without any doubt in my heart that your desired career and job is out there waiting for you.

I admonish you further not to stop and a hourly, daily basis search for that job, for he who seeks shall find.
