In Reply To: As long as you believe yourself a commodity, you will bob forever on the sea of uncertainty. That's because you'll be subject to the tides of this "market" to which you refer. There is no market, folks, and the reality is there never was one. That is an illusion, and the best you can do is blossom where you're planted and enhance your value daily through the expansion of your skillset. At best. the career ladder is a hoax, compliments of your friendly neighborhood (self-serving) system of higher education. It requires an ever-expanding universe, and when that isn't present, the cruelty of the hoax is revealed. To thine own self be true. A career isn't something that can be manipulated. Be the best you can be -- where you are -- always -- and let your career take care of itself.
Message: Somebody needs some prozac! And after reading that last posting...maybe that is me!! Yikes! Cheer up...if you try hard enough, and you are good enough, that next job will come. (At least that is what I keep telling myself right now.)
