Comments on: Don’t Avoid Your Job Search Because It’s Painful http://recruiteruncensored.com/?p=1096 The Candid Ramblings Of A Professional Recruiter Who Has Seen It All - Copyright 2010 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:18:10 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tammy http://recruiteruncensored.com/?p=1096&cpage=1#comment-572 Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:05:53 +0000 http://recruiteruncensored.com/?p=1096#comment-572 Tell people that you are “in between jobs”, “looking for work” or “in transition”. Just saying that you are unemployed highlights the negative instead of focusing on what actions you are taking to find employment. You will feel better about admitting your job loss if you talk about your efforts to find work rather than focus all of your attention on the fact that you haven’t worked in weeks. Talk about where you want to go, not where you don’t want to be. It will be much less painful to start that conversation and networking your way to your next job.

(The chiropractor is my friend too, Lisa! I have degeneration in my lumbar and neck. It got to a point where I got out of bed hunched over and unable to straighten out for hours without pain. Decompression therapy helped a great deal and now I maintain my spinal health, by taking dance classes and yoga. It has helped my posture and self-confidence tremendously. The state of my spine was probably due to many years of guitar playing in bands.)
