Enjoying the Quiet

It's Spring.  Give your thoughts time to bloom.
It's the day after Easter and it's pretty quiet around here. We had a particularly difficult winter here in New England, and our bodies and nerves were tested throughout the Granite State, where, tacitly, it is considered innapropriate to complain about the weather.  Here, men smoke their cigarettes outside in 20 degree weather, in shorts and tank tops, and only wimps (like me) wear ear muffs.  Even I didn't wear gloves most of the winter.  In New Hampshire, the people are hearty and love nature, so that topography which surrounds us is to be admired, not reviled.  But this past winter, honestly, the cold would not go away, and the snow bade its farewell only a week ago, three weeks after the calendar's herald of Spring.

We always enjoy getting new resume clients, so I'm going to count my blessings if we don't get emails this week.  It's my humble opinion that now is not the time to hunt for work.  It's time to bask in being alive, to renew oneself, along with Spring, to thaw out and think about one's future.  Think about what you want in life.  Ponder it on a spiritual level. Instead of thinking, "what job should I apply for," ask yourself, "What do I want the universe to give me?" It's never good to be desperate about your future.  As sure as you breathe, the universe will guide you down the right path. And when the universe does give you some clues, and you have an idea of where you want to go next, we'll be here to help you put it all down on paper.

There are hundreds of sites that can give you advice about your resume, your job hunt, interviews, and how to get the right gig.  We're just one of them.  However, rather than barrage the reader with opinions and lessons learned about resumes [on our heretofore infrequent basis], we hope to communicate more with you--about less. The mind is a wonderful thing to use, but sometimes ours aren't here just to discuss resumes ad nauseum. So welcome to our [new-ish] blog about resumes and whatever else we want to talk about.
