If you have already set your intention for your next position, declared it publicly and are thinking and acting differently AND you are still struggling to land your next position — keep reading.<\/p>\n

Several years ago we moved from Texas to New England.\u00a0 In November!\u00a0 It was the toughest winter of my life and I could not wait for spring to plant a lovely spring garden at our new home.\u00a0 My simple desire for a garden and what I learned from that garden (heretofore referred to as “the adventure of my garden”) forced me to deal with thoughts and things I thought were dealt with — things I thought were in the past, but were not.<\/p>\n

These same issues keep popping up for clients, so I decided it is time to share my experience in this blog.<\/p>\n

OK, so the adventure of my garden . . . It was March and in my mind it was time to plant, but there was still snow everywhere.\u00a0 How was I going to get my garden?<\/p>\n

I started to ask questions about gardening in New England, got information and quickly rejected most of it.\u00a0 Then April arrived and still no garden — I whined, fussed and got very frustrated.<\/p>\n

Finally, I set the intention, used the information I gathered and planted the garden.\u00a0 I got a few flowers and plants, but definitely not what I would call a garden.<\/p>\n

Intention, information and action were not enough to produce a garden.\u00a0 What was holding my garden back?\u00a0 Maybe it was the bad weather.\u00a0 Maybe I just needed more information.\u00a0 After all, there was still snow in May — how could a garden grow in this harsh environment?<\/p>\n

Surely, the lack of a full, lush garden was not because of me.\u00a0 I decided the factors were out of my control and got increasingly frustrated.\u00a0 Gardening in New England was just a bear!<\/p>\n

For my clients this is just like updating their resume, researching job openings and getting an interview or two, but no job offers.<\/p>\n

Do you see job searching as a bear?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you said the same things about your search that I said about my garden?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you given up because of things you believe are out of your control?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is what’s holding you back really out of your control?\u00a0 Really?<\/strong><\/p>\n
