Welcome to JobStuff
Your Career Transition Blog
Welcome to Job-Stuff. I hope the information and musing here are helpful in your journey through the "Transition-Zone". Please also check out the "Zero To Network Blog", since Business Networking is a major weapon in your job seeking arsenal.
First and foremost, I have walked in your shoes. I had a senior level position at a Fortune 500 company and felt my career was invincible. In prior years, I merely wrote my resume, called a headhunter and posted my job on Monster. And the hiring executives came a callin!
When I was asked to step into the "transition" zone, I dreamt of double dipping on my severance package. Reality: Over a year later, with my severance a distant memory, I finally found a great job.
During my transition, I started a contract services company and also became an Executive Recruiter (aka HeadHunter). I learned a lot about myself during this chapter. And - oh the mistakes I made - which I will share with you here. I believe it is important to laugh at yourself, your mistakes and share them with others, so that you don't make the same ones (I am sure you will make your own, which is how we learn).
I hope you find Job-Stuff Blog helpful in your career transition.

Recently I was turned onto an interesting magazine; Worthwhile. Yes, interesting name; their focus is on work being Profitable, with purpose and Passionate. Without these principles of work; why bother?
With Worthwhile Magazine' permission in hand, I will review and copy segments from their magazine to share with you - with the Jobstuff spin. Perhaps we will agree, perhaps we will not. Stay tuned.
