It’s time to conquer your fears and make things happen for yourself.
Make this fun and a positive experience, not one that makes you anxious just thinking about it. If you fear rejection, you aren’t alone.
It’s normal

REJECTION
Going out on ANY job interview, my brother suggested - reminds me of the idea of my friend Carl told me “DON’T LEAVE ANY JOB INTERVIEW WITH OUT A LEAD “ASK THE INTERVIEWER... DO YOU KNOW OF ANY ONE WHO CAN USE MY SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE? “Instead, look forward to each new encounter as a chance to meet someone new and to expand your circle of acquaintances. If you proceed with an open mind, you just might be surprised at what is out there waiting for you!
Prepare and PRATICE for Ups and Downs
My brother said to me “there’s no guarantee that you’ll have one positive experience after another. HOWEVER, like Football (as we where watching Cincinnati and New York) you MUST practice. APPLY FOR JOBS YOU DO NOT WANT – YOU NEED THE INTERVIEW PRACTICE”. Enduring a string of interviews with potential employers can be discouraging, and there will be times when you’re just plain tired of making the effort. Don’t be afraid, it’s PRACTICE to take a break and use the time to nourish yourself and recoup whatever self-esteem you may have lost in the process. You can’t put your best foot forward unless you are feeling good about yourself, so do whatever it takes to stay optimistic and upbeat.
UP IN THE AIR
Went to see UP IN THE AIR today with Sally and Katie, thought it must be great George Clooney is in it!
Well if you are wondering what I have been through go see this movie, as I cried several times during it because IT WAS MY LIFE, it gives you a clue.

A THANK YOU note could land the job!
Today while sitting in Arizona on this beautiful sunny day of 72 degrees, I was reading the paper lying in the sun looking at the mountains in the desert listening to the water falls. I open up the news paper and read an article on the THANK YOU NOTE and the importance of it could be key, and here some highlights.
• Just like our mothers told us to do it shows impeccable manners plus gives you the edge.
• If you are interviewed buy more than one hiring manager, send a thank-you note to each person. (making each one a little different incase they compare)
• The notes must be hand written within 24 hours (this is AFTER you sent a quick email as soon as you get home.
• Use high quality stationary or a professional THANK YOU at Hallmark.
• Accomplish three objectives 1) Express your appreciation for the opportunity 2) reinforce your interest in the job 3) reinstate your value you can bring to the organization.
• Make it specific, bring up points of conversation you had during the interview.
• DON’T LOSE HOPE. When vying for the attractive job, anything you can do to catch the hiring manager’s attention can give you the edge.

A message from a friend worth sharing
Keep our lives free from the love of money and be content with what we have,
because God said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" So we
say with confidence, the Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid, what can
man do to me. Hebrews 13:5
"Strive to live with less rather than more, give away out of my abundance
rather than accumulating more, relish what we have rather than resent what
is missing. Money & possessions will all pass away but we who do the will
of God lives forever" NIV Study Bible
We can see the Love of God through our struggles. A door will close but a
window will open. It can be like hell in the hallway but keep moving
through it.
Love,
Rick

Happy New Year
I am going to start the New Year out in warmth and sunshine. Going to Arizona for a week. Work on a solid new plan. Because what I have been doing is NOT working. I will not spend any more time and money on Career Builder and Job Finder and other job banks that just give you more advertisements and sell your name to many on line schools.
