Have you ever been in a place in your career or life where you just don't want to be?  Perhaps you are stuck in a job that is going nowhere, or maybe you are in a decent job, but it just isn't what you want to do in life?  It is difficult to transition to a new industry or job after one has built a 10 years career or longer in a particular occupation. You want to change and do something different, but that could present a significant cut in salary and starting at the bottom once again.  Does this sound like you or a loved one?

Without a doubt almost all people rethink where they are in life as they approach a mid-career point.  Some wish they could go back to college and start all over again and get a different degree or advanced degree to pursue an entirely different career altogether.  Others know they are…

My name is Derek and I have a very sincere and specific question for you. I'd like to explain to you my situation so the question comes off more clear and precise.

As an Independent Recruiter, I know a Job Seeker is going to have a rough time finding a job if he sends me an email like this:

• I just lost my job and I need a recruiter to help me find a new one, when can I talk to you?
• Your lucky day!  I am a top sales candidate and here is my resume so you can find me a job.
• Please call me, I want to discuss my resume with you for your openings.
• I emailed you before, I want to tell you what type of job I am looking for.
