Yes, the economy is not helping out in regards to finding jobs. In fact, it can become rather discouraging applying to jobs and never hearing back from companies.
This morning had coffee with an individual whose company provides sales outsourcing: Acquirent. We were talking about the economy and he mentioned that the economy is making hiring difficult but that there are companies out there hiring.
Your goal in finding a job is to have determination. Do not get discouraged and keep pushing the envelope. Treat your job search as a full time job and dedicated 8-10 hours a day looking for a job.
In case you need some more motivation, read the TRUE story below about a hockey team that won NO GAMES during the regular season. They did not give up and wound up, through sheer determination, winning their tournament.
GOLD MITES TEACH US A LESSON ABOUT DETERMINATION
You can't make this stuff up....
The Redwings Gold Mites did not have a single win all season except for their very first practice game in the early fall. That was the case until this past weekend's Chicago Shootout Tournament at the Center Ice of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.
The Gold Mites' first game was against the St. Louis Rockets and the score finished 5-2 Rockets. Redwings goals were by Ceci Bresch and Colby Osterhues.Game 2 was against the Glen Ellyn Admirals and the score was 1-0 with Colby Osterhues scoring the only goal, and what a goal it was – top shelf on a wrist shot. Third game was against the Glen Ellyn Admirals – the winner of this game advanced to the championship game. Ceci Bresch scored 2 goals and Daniel Parisi scored 1 goal to lead us to a 3-1 victory!
The championship game was another contest against the Rockets. It was a come from behind victory in overtime – 1 minute and 43 seconds into overtime. Colby Osterhues had a goal and also assisted on the winning goal by Ceci Bresch. The Redwings Gold Mites finished as champs! Awesome!
All the kids played their hearts out, they really came together and played great as a team. It was a weekend that they will all remember for a very long time! Never quit trying. Never give up.
