Through a combination of fortuitous circumstances, networking and God’s guidance, I’ve never had to look for a job before. Recently, I began to feel around to see what might be ”out there.” I’ve got a job I’ve liked, but am tired of in so many ways.

Here’s where my eyes have been opened. Today’s job hunt is an absolute and total roll of the dice. On line services at each and every company you visit encourage you to ”submit your resume.” The best of these send an automated reply if you submit a resume in a format they can read and like.

The worst of these acknowledge nothing and provide no information to you about what the next steps might be, when you might hear something or how to follow up with the company. They get all your information and machine or man begins making judgments about you.

NOTE TO SELF: Never conduct a job search that is so impersonal and unkind to those seeking to join your company!
