It's A Job Seeker's Market – Take Advantage Of It!

Hi, Liz!

Well, I did it. After years and years of talking about it, I took the plunge and quit my job. It wasn’t the right place for me. I was good at my job, but I felt terrible doing it, and I realized, if not now, when? Why keep putting off what I knew I needed to do? There’s a labor shortage, and I figured I could probably find another job I feel good about. But I’m dreading actually going out for one. I’ve spent my entire life working for other people and there was something really thrilling about figuring out that my boss needed me more than I needed him. The prospect of having to put on a nice outfit and trying to convince hiring managers that I’m fueled by, I don’t know, a passion for selling bathroom fixtures or something in the hopes that they’ll hire me fills me with dread. I’ve changed a lot over the last two years, and I guess that level of supplicating is not something I want to face again.
