Comment on Are you an impostor? Is that why you didn’t get the job? by Rita Ashley

Your comments are appreciated. You’d be surprised how many folks want to kill the messenger. Most people can make a lot of progress in their job search if they accept it is their responsibility and that there are ways to overcome the situation or prevent it from occurring at all.

Rita, thank you for this blog. I can’t remember ever seeing this topic addressed on a job search site. There’s tons of good advice out there for job seekers, but if folks are aware of their own emotional underpinnings they’re likely to stumble. A huge part of job counseling is helping people deal with psychological obstacles and sense of self-worth. P.S. I caught your podcast on over-45 workers on Secrets of the Job Hunt and thought it was spot on. Thanks again!

[...] And every one who does potentially creates serious career damage. Employers believe people who stay in jobs 4+ years are better than those who move around. The first thing anyone who views a resume checks for is the pattern of longevity. You can offer all sorts of reasons for leaving but the fact is, any candidate with a sturdy work history aces those without. [For more detail.] [...]

Comment on Employee retention – Why employees stay by Rita Ashley

The reason I submitted my ideas is it is not the employers job to make certain each of us is happy. That is a personal responsibility and for truly healthy people, work is only one aspect of it. The one thing over which the employer may affect, is employee satisfaction. Do they have the tools to be successful, do they understand their job, do they get proper feed back for course correction and do they get recognition. All these go a very long time towards guaranteeing employee satisfaction. Happiness by contrast, is allusive, transitory and different for each of us.
