The list can go on and on…
We each work for different reasons. To pay the bills. To feel accomplished. To continually learn, gain experience. To achieve success. To gain financial independence. To get simply out of the house or away from a significant other for the day or forever. To fulfill a need. Out of a sense of obligation or loyalty. To obtain health insurance. It is where my education led me. To find happiness.

So many reasons…, I have worked for each of these reasons at one point in my life or another. Most of us probably have. When we begin a job search, why we work becomes clearly defined, until that search becomes protracted, then all of a sudden, certain reasons become fuzzy and less important than others. One of the first to go out the door is happiness. Why is that? Because we settle and we are more worried about the bills getting paid than the ulcer we will ultimately develop. Only you can know when and if it is time to settle, and if it will help.

The statistic I read today, one-fifth of all job seekers will conduct their job search entirely online. This number will only rise, are you ready for the flood?
