New Year, New Career?

It's a new year, but don't throw away the "old" - at least, not until YOU decide if that's what's best for you.

Change is stressful at most times, but it is a necessary component of life. Kind of a conundrum, to say the least. We need change to improve and to expand, yet too much and we humans "devolve" under the stress of uncertainty.

Goals should not be based upon a time of year, but on what's happening in each individual's life - I can't stress that enough! Forget the resolutions - but go for what you'd like to get out of this year, or this life. If your work is gettiing you down - first decide if it is your work - or ask yourself some hard questions about your lifestyle and attitude. Could be it's not the job, but you - and if so, you can still change. Jobs, I mean. Just be honest about what you want. What is it about your present job/situation you DON'T like, and what do you want/like AND can realistically do.

If the job is pleasant enough - you might just consider staying and changing your attitude - even if it is just while you look for another opportunity. Remember, if you're down on your job, that will probably show through at an interview - attitude counts!

A positive attitude is always in style - no resolution necessary.
