Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Well to be honest a brief resume of being fired or rather made redundant as they say over here in England. At 21, I was made redundant and it inspired me to leave England and go to south Africa were I changed career and was introduced to the spiritual path and many of my fears were overcome. At 28 through a job closing I moved back to England with so much more awareness of life and another career change. At 32 I was made redundant which enabled yet another career change and allowed me to gain my MA in Psychotherapy and move into the alternative field. At 35 yet another job crises led me to the USA to pursue voice analysis and brainwave studies to combine with Sound Work which I do now. AS ONE DOOR CLOSES BE SURE ANOTHER WILL OPEN. Have faith in the universal power of direction. Namaste Jeff Improved Learning, Increased brain co-ordination, Deep relaxation, Kids calm down, all from ONE CD. Sounds to good to be true, but its fact. Check out the " Into the HEART ZONE " CD on Jeff's site at www.soundtherapy.co.uk as you may know someone that may benefit from its use. - Thursday, August 02, 2001 10:10 AM Digest Number 694 > > **************************************** > Visit the community page: > For administrative problems -owner > To , - > > All messages, files and archives of this forum are copyright of the group and the individual authors. > ------ > > There are 4 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hi Patti, I'm sure there's very few people in the working world who haven't been fired. It does not mean a thing about your worth or your goodness. You ARE worthy. You ARE good and worthwhile. Just by being who you are. Hold on to that like the knot on the end of the line. My advice is to view the job-hunt as your job for now. Get organized. Produce a good resume and send lots of them out. Find alternate sources for job leads (many places, like Universities, don't advertise). Your goal is to get interviews and to get comfortable doing the interviews. When you are doing the interview, (and even on your resume/cover letter) be sure to be yourself - you want them to want YOU. Remember that you want to pay attention to who they are too - you want to find a job that YOU WANT. You are worth it. You can find work that suites you, with people you like, with pay/benefits that sustain your lifestyle. Good Luck, You can do it - You're good.
