My passion and desire is to be back in the healthcare industry. There's a 5year gap in my resume due to providing care for a terminally-ill family member. When they past away I had to take the first job available, which doesn't show my career path. I'm afraid this information is hurting my chances of employment.

Happy #SensationalSaturday

Hello everyone! Everybody seems to already have found their passions and dream job, but what do you do if you don’t know what your passion is? I have plenty of hobbies but I still am not sure what is best for me.

I also got a Prince 2 certificate recently.i CAN SPEAK French, English, as well as Chinese. Ready to go for a new horizon.Any good company, please just PM me

I have been trying to get a job since the middle of last year and and I am already frustrated to no end. I have a undergrad degree which I can absolutely do nothing with and I have applied to just about every job opening available in the tri state area. Did anyone else go through what I am experiencing and could you please give me some advice on how to get gainful employment?

I’ve been seeking work for a month now. I recently quit my last job due to very dangerous work environment that caused me to have anxiety attacks, panic attacks, stress, and depression. Something has happened to me that caused me to worry about if I was going to make it home in the morning.

I am venturing off into different areas of work, but I can’t get very excited about them. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, or my time, going through the interview process for a company I can’t find any interest in. I don’t want to show up to some job I hate everyday just for a paycheck.

I want to find work that is satisfying, interesting, challenging, rewarding, and allows me to help others. I’m a very empathetic person, a great listener, and I’m a person who doesn’t take things I hear or see at face value. I like to research and formulate my own thoughts, opinions, beliefs, etc...I like to be physically active. I’ve had jobs in the past, example: Administrative Assistant, Front desk receptionist, and sales, and these types of jobs drive me nuts! I don’t like to sit for long periods of time. I don’t like to be around a lot of people I don’t know. I have very high anxiety and being in a restaurant or convenience store puts me on edge and I can’t concentrate on anything but bad things that could possibly happen. This got worse after I was held up at gunpoint a few months back. I don’t mind working by myself because I tend to start a project and I don’t like to stop until it is accurate. I am very detail oriented and I don’t mind change in the company culture. Also, I take time management, seriously.

Given what information I have laid out in this post, what would you think would be some jobs would be a good fit for me? I’m being very picky about my job search. I’m literally spending over 4-8 hours a day searching for jobs, scrolling through employee reviews, creating different types of resumes and cover letters. I am having success with employers reaching out, but I just can’t get excited or interested in these companies. What should I do if I can’t figure out what I want to do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Why do jobs make such a big deal about having a GED? I have a strong work ethic and alot of work experience. I hate to lie on an application but it seems to be the only way to get a job is to say you have your GED. I have worked with many co-workers who have a degree but have zero common sense or work ethic. Unless its a specalized field I dont understand why its such a big deal.

Here is a quick summary for those who don't want to read this long post --If you are fighting for a idea that gives you no hope, you are fighting for your enemies. Since self observation is the mother of all change we must Let go of all mental enemies. ---- If this resonates, read on.

I read a post by Veronica Jefferson titled "The Reality of Employment Desperation." Her bullet points seem to come off controversial, however I personally saw nothing that could be harmful if implemented. This is a great way to judge information. What I mean is, if one took action on her words there is little chance harmful results will arise. She said things like "Have some pride for yourself and keep going even when you feel like giving up". So why was it controversial? I know because I was the angry comment'er before, it was me in 2012.

In 2012 I was fired from a job I was working for maybe 3 years or so at the time. I spent a year looking for a job back then a post like Veronica's would have woke me up, and made me angry for sure. The thing about information that wakes people up is its so mentally shocking we often push against it as the mind holds outdated beliefs. Just picture this, you are extremely tired haven't sleep in days and just when you get your eyes closed your phone alarm goes off and on top of that its playing a song you hate. In this situation you will likely respond to eliminate any enemies of your sleep. How weird would it be if you did all you could to keep the alarm and terrible song playing and stopped people from turning off the alarm? You would be working against your self interest. Life wake up calls have the same tendency, they confuse us and at times to make us fight for ideas of limitation.

I've been a certified as Neurological Linguistic Programming practitioner also since 2012 and one thing I know about the mind for certainty is its unwavering ability to fight for what we believe.

                             "What do you believe about yourself?"

I was amazed to see how many people on that post were arguing for limitations. I did the same thing in 2012, I was determined to let people know I wasn't going to find a job period, because of numerous reasons I had. Guess what, I won. All my expectations were met. Don't be like me, don't fight to be on the losing end of results.

My advice to avoid MY mistake is ask yourself, "What am I arguing or fighting for? If you can see that when you win the argument you are firmly planted in a place of no hope, you may be fighting the wrong battle.
