Committed to Your Success Coaching & Consulting

When I read stories about people who have been out of work for a period of time, like 6 months or more.  I often wonder why they keep going after a traditional job when it isn’t getting them anywhere.  No call backs, no interviews, no job.  They have all these great skills that are being wasted.   I wonder if these individuals think that the only option is to work for a company; are they not aware that there are other ways to earn an income (and possibly have fun at the same time)? Some of these nontradtional ways include contract work, part-time work, or self-employment.   There are many opportunities if you are persistant and dilligent in your search.  

Here a few job sites to check for possible opportunties; these are just a few:

www.hotjobs.com; www.guru.com; www.sologig.com; www.elance.com; www.freelance.com; www.helpdesk.com ; www.indeed.com; www.cybercoders.com; www.theladders.com

There are many more opportunities.  If you have skills and experience in marketing, graphic design or web programs, small to medium-size businesses need your services.  There are blogging sites to earn money or you could become a virtual assistant to provide support to just about any business or organization.  The point being, you cold create a job for yourself rather than wait for the job to find you.  It is all in how you view your situation and what you envision for your future.  You can wait for someone else to decide when you work or you can decide - which will you choose?
