The new year brought new jobs and also many people who were laid off in January and February. I guess some companies now wait until after the holidays to lower the boom! I actually was surprised at the number of calls from those laid off and they came from an array of different medical companies. At first, I felt very badly for the callers and they all said…

I just spoke to another "seasoned" high level job candidate who decided to take a month off and relax after they lost their job. This candidate told me, "It happened right before the holiday and I figured there weren't many jobs probably open anyway, so I decided to just enjoy the holiday's and look afterwards." Unfortunately that holiday was Thanksgiving of last year!…

Reprint from Gen News! AND WHO IS CRAZY ENOUGH TO WANT TO GET INTO PHARMA SALES?

I remember losing my job in 2005 and running to the dentist before the last day of employ so I could get my teeth cleaned while I had insurance to cover it. I knew the people in my dentist office quite well since I tend to be someone who sticks with people who I like and do good work.

Sounds stupid doesn't it, the mere idea your job or corporation is helping you to lose your identity? Perhaps you should ask yourself some tough questions FIRST before you laugh this one off! If you say "yes" to even one of the following questions, you may be giving a piece of your identity away, along with the ability to easily transition to a new job or find a job if you become unemployed…

You all call and ask, “I am finding a few jobs out there, and even getting to the final interview, only to find out I did not get the job; WHAT’S GOING ON?”.
