Last year I finally became eligible for three weeks of vacation time at my former job. Unfortunately because of my health issues I needed to give up my career a few months later and I never got the chance to enjoy that long awaited perk. Now I am on a permanent “vacation”; it’s called retirement.

I have recently became unemployed and need job search help. Do I really need to be available all weekend for calls about jobs? My wife says I should, but my work isn’t the kind where you get calls, need to be in the office, or work at home on weekends. Why would I expect to be called about a new job on a weekend?

Your career development plan did not include looking for a job for over six months and discouragement is a mild description of your attitude. It may seem like you’re sinking deeper and deeper into the well with no lifeline. What can you do to restore your faith in yourself and your confidence in your ability to find a job? You know your attitude affects the persona you present at an interview so it’s critical for your mental health as well as your ability to land that job. It’s time to take a break!

Identifying your top values powers up your job search. Whether you are seeking a job or a complete career plan change, make sure to assess the driving values in your life right now. - Values are the guiding principles that help us choose our actions.

A black tie affair. Two thousand dollars a plate. A prominent physician and a notable figure in the world of sports were hosting a private gala to be held at an upscale, chic restaurant. They wanted the occasion to have that ´special touch´, so they requested to have the invitations handwritten. But, where would the event planner find such a person?

The world of work seems to parallel the school year. After summer vacations are over people seem more focused. It’s a pervasive feeling in the workplace. Fun time is over; lets get serious about business again. We need to be prepared for the additional workload, late hours, projects and assignments that need to be completed prior to the winter holidays. At this juncture of my life, being out of the work force, it seems odd to still have the feeling that I must get down to business. How am I going to channel my September feelings?

It’s official. The “vacation” has ended. This Monday morning I woke up feeling restless and agitated. The house no longer felt like my refuge. I needed to go out into the world and reconnect with people.
