It pains me also to think people are staying in jobs where they are miserable. <br /><br />Recent numbers are showing employee turnover has reduced, which some might interpret to mean employees are toughing it out even though they are unhappy within their jobs. <br /><br />I think the "surviving in a job you hate" is out of necessity ... as you stated "who is paying the bills?" Too many families have gone from a two-income household, down to only one. <br /><br />We've been in a 20-month recession (and counting), which is the longest recession we've experienced since before the 1940s.<br /><br />Jobs are hard to come by, even for professionals at the top of their games. The length of unemployment has been longer than anyone anticipated ... and has reached record numbers! Yikes, right? <br /><br />Jobseekers are facing new challenges; i.e. an increasing number of recruiters are closing their doors, or minimally, struggling to stay afloat.<br /><br /><b>Sorry for all the bad news! Here's some good news:</b><br /><br />An increasing number of people are starting businesses or taking on consulting roles. Some great businesses have been started and grown during such economic turmoil, and I'm hopeful we're going to see several bud during this recession as well. <br /><br />We Americans don't like to sit still, and we have such strong drive to succeed and overcome ... I love that about us. =]<br /><br />You mentioned something that I didn't put in my article, which is "if you aren't really happy where you are, you are unlikely to be successful at marketing in the long term." <br /><br />I believe you're correct. :/ Unhappy employees don't usually give it their all. <br /><br />Thanks for the follow-up to my post, Mark. <br /><br />Regards,<br />@teenaroseTeena Rosehttp://www.resumetoreferral.comnoreply@blogger.com
