What Am I Missing

DearJames,

I have been unemployed for three months and none of my interviews have ended with employment. What am I missing? Should I try a different area or move? I really need specific help. Please!

Dear What Am I Missing,

Focusing on the lack of employment and thus income is causing you to spin your wheels in all the wrong places.

You’re substituting quantity for quality in the hopes that something or anything will stick.

This creates an overwhelming sense of panic and neediness within you which causes you to spiral further and further away from your intended desire, employment in something you love.

First order of business is for you to highly consider going to back school.  I sense that you would benefit greatly from these enhanced studies.

Is there a trade school or profession that you have been keen to pursue but you have stopped short each time telling yourself you lack the time, money, or resources?

The Universe is saying NOW IS THE TIME to pursue such an endeavor.

Don’t continue working just for the sake of working.  You’re meant to enjoy the act or acts you perform while making a living.

Research the local / tri-state newspapers for articles or ads that interest you.

Be receptive to financial aid and other forms or sources of tuition and living expenses programs and coverage.

Be willing to engage in part-time employment as you earn your technical / trade training, degree, or certification.

Know that by pursuing your inner passions the Universe moves to support you.

Likewise, when you fail to engage your passions by pursuing that which only satisfies a paycheck, the Universe provides as well, except it comes in the form of disappointment, lack, frustration, etc.

Bloom where you are planted means the right job/career path for you is in your immediate area, you’ve just not given yourself permission to pursue it.

Take a minor break from your search, go to your local coffee house, enjoy the morning papers, and see what spills forth from the page.

Just being open to the possibilities will do wonders for your soul.

And do not sweat the HOW, just follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City.

Dreams really do come true and wishes are granted routinely.

Dream Big and you’ll land exactly where you are meant to be.

DearJames®
