You are braver than you believe...

Thanksgiving is almost here and it’s time to...well, be thankful : ) The truth is when you’re looking for work it isn’t always easy to feel your best. The stories I am about to share are from people JUST like you who have been where you are right at this very moment. They were without a job, nervous, unsure, but hopeful that they would find a great opportunity. Well guess what?! They found it, and they were kind enough to share their journeys with us!

I hope these posts inspire you to know that if they can do it, so can YOU! As one of my favorite sayings goes,“You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Don’t give up, no matter what. We are here to help! So let’s congratulate these folks, ask them questions and learn from them. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday next week. I am grateful to be apart of this community of strong, brilliant, and awesome individuals! You truly amaze us everyday.

Thank you for this great message! It can be incredibly daunting trying to find a new job or trying to bounce back after losing a job you had for many years, but I've found that commenting, posting coversations, and just talking to people here on Job Case has been an enormous help! Sharing your highs and lows, even if some people don't see where you're coming from, is a cathartic experience, and 99.9% of the comments you get are messages with amazing advice and encouragement. It feels great to know that people want to help me and that I'm not alone. So I'm very very grateful for Job Case and the many people on here who have helped me further my career goals!

How do you recover from getting fired from a job you only had for a month.

What you just had mentioned should inspire others to tell something that they have achieved and worked hard for so that many could understand how grateful they become.

Just reading the words "You're stronger than you think" made me brighten up. I've been down for a long time and those words blessed me.

Sometimes it is the other side who should be grateful. Oh yeah, say that and, you are probably fired.

Thanks, Ashley...the Holidays really bite it when you are out of work...commercials talking about spending money, interviews drying up, end of year parties at employers and the sneaky, end-of-year budget-driven layoffs. As a community, we are certainly hungry for more stories of inspiration...especially the under-employed, the older, the darker skinned, the less-educated among us...those who keep getting passed over and lose confidence.
