IT'S ALMOST MONDAY....

Then I checked my e-mail, which at first appeared to be routine. As I scanned down through the list of incoming mail, I noticed a suspiciously high number of requests for resume rewrites. I thought back over the last several days and realized I hadn't gotten any request for resumes.
After glancing back through the past two weeks, I found that that pattern held true: A spike of resume work requests were present in my Monday inbox versus any other day. Sunday's inbox held a few prospects for me, as did Tuesday. But Monday was far and away a huge spike in the need for resumes, at least with my potential and existing clients.
While I realize this is far from scientific, it was enough to get me thinking: What could be different about Monday? Here is my theory in a nutshell: People are faced with returning to jobs they don't like after a weekend away from said job.
The need to find a new job asserts itself with the prospect of yet another work week. Very sad! I think we have all been here a time or two, but hopefully not for long....
We all work 8, 9, 10 or 12 hours a day - that is a large chunk of our day. A third of the day plus some is spent working. That leaves a third or less sleeping and a third or less with family and other personal matters.
I don't blame you for wanting to make a change NOW if your job is not what you want or not moving you toward your career goals... Just don't way til Monday.
IT'S ALMOST MONDAY....NOW!
If you need help making a change, let me know. A $59 Resume qualifies you for unlimited career counseling via email and internet for one year at $39.
