WORKERS:CONDUCT A NEW JOB SEARCH WITH CAUTION

Are you satisfied with your current
job? If not , are you still giving your
best effort ? Once you have decided
that you’re no longer interested in a
position, this can affect your quality of
work (if you are actually working at
all). A recent article suggests that
some employees are spending less
time working and more time searching
for a new job .

One website says that over 14 million
working hours are wasted by
employees due to job searching. This
probably explains why some people ’s
paychecks are smaller than they care
for. I have no problem if someone
wants to get a new job , but is it really
right to do it on company time? In a
survey of currently employed job
seekers, many admit to spending
anywhere from three to ten hours a
week in this process. In addition to
using the Internet , these workers are
updating their resumes, and get this ,
even conducting telephone interviews.

Trying to find a new job while on the
job isn’ t just unprofessional but also
risky. I wouldn’t suggest doing so on
company time , however, you might
want to limit your search to the
weekends for example. Experts also
encourage job seekers to use their
own personal technology to assist
them in their quests for new
employment. Remember , if you get
caught job searching, you could lose
your job, which I don’t believe most
people can afford right now .

There is nothing wrong with looking
for a new job ; sometimes change is
good.
In the mean time , don’t take
your current position for granted , and
actually do your job .

MOTIVATIONAL STORY: ROAR OF THE LION

I recently came through a short story on fear. We are all faced with fear at one point or another but how we react towards fear differs. Below is the story:

THE ROAR OF THE LION
Lions love to eat gazelle meat ;
however, it is very difficult for them to
catch gazelles because they run so
fast . Instead, a group of young lions
herd the gazelles away from them .
The gazelles easily outrun the lions
and head off in the direction the lions
have chosen , which is unknowingly
towards a deep grassy area where a
group of older lions are hiding.
The older lions are too old and tired
to be part of the chase; many are
missing teeth , and would never be
able to catch their own meat . When
the gazelles are driven within close
range of the older lions, they jump up
and ROAR loudly.
Immediately, the gazelles, responding
to their perceived fear of imminent
death, turn and run in the opposite
direction , right into the mouths of the
young lions .
"The moral is that running from your
fears and not facing them can often
lead you into real danger and worse
outcomes. In day - to-day life , the lions
lying in wait may not be life
threatening, but they are often false
fears.
Running away may mean we remain
stuck and unhappy for a long time or
until we face and move through our
fear."
