		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: May 12, 2010:  I'm helping a friend with her job search.

I made Sue a deal. I would help her with her job search and she would blog about everything she was going through, including her job search activity.  Sue agreed to this quickly, but added that I would have to agree not to censor her blog.  For people that really know me, they realize that this is a huge request.  Make It Happen For Women is my brain child.  I am the founder and I want the blog to be inspirational and informative and of course, I know what's best.  Sue of course, laughed when I explained this to her as if she didn't already know.

Sue and I are both type A personalities and we both are very passionate about our beliefs, so when Sue said to me, Take it or leave it".  I laughed and said.  "I think I am in the better bargaining position."  We both laughed and in the end, I knew she would offer a great deal of information to the women that read our blog.

Sue and I have known each other for about 15 years.  She is divorced, 56 years old, and has 3 children, the youngest of which is still in college and two older sons.  Sue is a sales manager and has had some terrific success.  The job market has been hit hard in California.  Sue lives in the Sacramento area, where I lived for over 20 years.

Sue's company was acquired.  The sales manager from the acquiring company took the Director job and Sue was laid off.  She had been there for 6 years and was heartbroken.  She is very dedicated and has some wonderful accomplishments for her resume.  Sue can't believe that she has been unemployed for 8 months.  She felt by now, someone would have "grabbed" her right up since she is so accomplished.

Doing a job search in this market can be very challenging....so hold on to your hats....
Sue will take over from here.

Take Care,
Vicki
Founder

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Mar 8:  Still on that proverbial roller coaster called a job search.

Why is the roller coaster make me crazy?  Why should I be afraid?  Is it because of the economy?  Is it because of my fear of being a single working mom and being out of work?  Is it fear of not having any money to feed my kids or pay my mortgage?

How can I go from believing that I am an amazing woman with great skills to being alone, afraid, with my head under the bed covers?  How does that happen?

I like the top of the roller coaster a lot better?  Why do I crash?  I think it’s because of this fear down in my belly that I am not in control of my own destiny and that I may not be able to support my children.

I just want to be happy and feel secure in my job.  Is that too much to ask?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Mar 1 – Don’t Give Up!

Dear JobSearchingWoman:

I know that you are discouraged.  I know that looking for a job is a <a href="http://www.makeithappenforwomen.com/the-7-phases-of-a-womans-job-search-pain-cycle.php">tough time</a> in a woman’s life.  How do I know?  Cause I have been there…many times.

Part of a woman’s frustrations is that she is trying to do what she’s always done which is not working in 2010.  But, old habits are <a href="http://www.makeithappenforwomen.com/hidden-job-search-market.php">hard to break</a> and the “Networking is the only way to find a job” isn’t working anymore.  Only 4-10% of the people in this country get a job from a job board and for professionals it’s less than 2%.  Recruiters are getting reqs from their clients that are asking for everything under the moon and that makes their job more difficult.

So…you have to do <a href="http://www.makeithappenforwomen.com/job_search_strategies_for_women_that_work_today.php">something different</a>.  But first you have to get control of your mind.  Take a few minutes to sit quietly and take some deep breaths.  Think of things that empower you in your life.  The times when you were on top.  Spend some quiet time just trying to calm your speeding heart rate.

Keeping calm and focused is the first step.  I’ve asked Our Job Search Expert to blog tomorrow about some tips on helping you….so stay tuned.

Remember…<a href="www.makeithappenforwomen.com/woman-career-search-pity-party-to-power.php">women are resilient</a> . Once we know what to do…we will chew up anything in our paths.

Hang in there….In the meantime…here are some <a href="http://www.makeithappenforwomen.com/job-search-resume-tips.php">resume tips</a> put together by our team.

Best Regards,

Vicki]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Feb 24:  I am still waiting.
I’m staying true to me right now.  Listening quietly on what I’m supposed to do in my job search and in my career.  I know that one day soon, I will come back roaring like a lion – in true Helen Reddy style.  I’m more than just a mom, a single woman, a single mom – I am a woman.  I deserve to be happy and fulfilled in every part of my life.
Until then, I will wait.  Quietly. I know my inner woman will speak in the night, like she always does.  The question is….will I hear and if so…will I listen?
I know that whatever happens and although I believe that everything happens for a reason, I must be logical and use my sharp business mind to decide on the game plan.  I want to treat my job search like a business problem.  Which it is.  I am the product and my prospects are new companies that should be begging for me to come to work for them.
So, as I build my inner spirit up, since it’s been deflated – no stamped on….I will continue to wait.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Feb 23:  My soul is quiet.  
The truth is that I don’t want to do a job search.  The truth is I don’t want to work.  I just want to be a single mom that can spend time with my kids.  I’m tired of being tired.  I’m tired of being scared that I might lose my job.  I’m tired of spending time on my job search and nothing happens.
I just want to sit quietly and wait for this all to pass.  And I know it will.  I want to sit and just listen to my heart, quiet, accepting and willing to just wait.  Is this the wrong way to do a job search?  Will it affect my career?  Are we really reduced down to what we look like on paper on our resume?
I think not.  In fact, I’m not going to think today.  I will continue to wait.  I will continue to be quiet.  I will continue to just sit here.  I know my heart will tell me what to do.
I will wait.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Feb 22:  The stress is effecting my body.
Now physical stress on my body because of all the emotional stress at work.  Why is it when I am really stressed out that something happens physically to my body?  I get a cold or the flu and I end up in bed.
I’m not a doctor of course, but I do know that this happens.  Why can’t I control my inner emotions?  Why does my body react when I am freaking out inside about my job and my career?  What do I really want to do with my life?  How do I balance that with my responsibilities as a single working mom with two kids in school?  Can a woman really “have it all?”  Or does that just happen for some women?
I do know that the grass is always greener on the other side and I know that other women struggle with this as well.  We all have responsibilities of one kind or another and that over half of the women in the US are single…a lot of them are moms like me.
So how do I get my fear and uncertainty under control?  If someone knows the answer, I wish they would share it.  I sure need some help with this.  And who better to help than other women.

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Feb 18:  I’m on the roller coaster again!

Why are my emotions going up and down?  One day I think I want to stay with my company forever and believe that we are really ready to grow to the next level and then the next, I feel like the world is coming to an end.

Yesterday was fabulous at work.  The energy in the office was good and my boss was in a great mood.  We have a new client with a promise of new and continued revenue.  We don’t need to lay off, we need to get out there and sell, sell, sell!  We just need more new business.

Wish everyday was like yesterday.  I actually felt like I could run the mile in seconds!  My boss promises things will be better.  Should I stop my job search for a while and regroup?  Who am I kidding.  I haven’t even been sending out resumes or networking because I’m so discouraged about my job search.

What is best for my career?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman:  Feb 17:  I hate my Job!

No one wants me!  I don't know what to do.  I apply and apply for jobs.  No one calls.  I don't know what to do?   I keep changing my resume for every job I apply for and nothing is working.  What do I do?

My friends tell me I am great and that it's only a matter of time before I get a new job, but nothing is happening.

Everything at work is crazy.  My boss is acting weird and I feel like the whole place is ready to explode.  We just lost a client.  I think my boss is going to blame and it's not my fault.  They have cut our customer service programs and I don't have much to offer my clients.  Has the world turned upside now?

I'm scared.  I'm a single working mom with two kids and I need to have a job.  If I get laid off, I don't have enough money to support myself and the kids.  What will happen to me?  What will happen to my career?

What do I do now?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  The Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Feb 12: My friend found a new job!

After being unemployed for over 8 months Renee, my friend, has a new job!  I'm thrilled for her.  You should have seen her face.  She was so excited and relieved that all the stress was over.  She's the new Marketing Director for a great company here in the city and has a bright future.

Watching her at Starbucks last night, as we celebrated, made me realize that I am being left behind. I am going no where.  I thought my boss and the company cared, but who am I kidding?  I really need to jump start my job search because my career is going no where.  I don't believe my boss when he says that my job is safe....

Wonder what's happening to me?  Has the fear of unemployment made me not trust people anymore?  I hope not because I am a positive person and I always see the glass half full.

I'm going to work on my resume again this weekend and see if I can get out there and find a new job!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Make It Happen For Women:  Diary of a Job Searching Woman: Feb 6: Will I ever get a job?

I'm tired of banging my head against the wall.  I feel like giving up.  I'm so discouraged.  I don't know what to do!

I'm angry!  I'm frustrated and tired of spending hours every night and weekend looking for a job and worrying about my career, what my resume looks like, what my cover letter looks like and trying to find out where the jobs are!.  I don't know what I am doing wrong.  Is there something wrong with me?  Do I not have anything to give to a company?  Am I losing my mind? 

Has the world turned upside down?  Nothing makes sense any more.

I'm about to give up...
