Great post, Lisa. Ed beat me to it, but … “failing to plan is planning to fail.” And unfortunately, most people only think about their career when they’ve lost their job.

Being “all things to all people” sounds grand but in reality stamps one as being mediocre at best. The adage “Jack of all trades – master of none” comes to mind.

I am learning through your assistance as well as a host of others, embracing modern tools can enhance one’s search only if one knows what they are searching for. It is like clicking Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” button without a search item. Sure the button works but were the desired results shown?

Waiting, wishing, hoping, none of those will yield any positive results without a plan and the intelligence to call in others when one doesn’t really have a clue.

Great point Lisa. It goes back to the old adage, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Now that’s not to say that you can reinvent yourself or look at openings that are a little bit outside of your comfort zone.

If you do not have a solid plan to get back to work, you will lose out to someone who does.
