Don't be a hostage to your job search!

Over the course of the last several months I've met with job seekers who when looking for new opportunities seem to carry frustrations they've had with previous employers with them in their search for a new opportunity. In essence, leaving them hostages to their previous employers and potentially keeping them from the opportunities they might receive. To move past this frustration, I've recommended job seekers meet with career counselors to help them work past this emotion so their present and ready for the new opportunity when it arises. It's like that old adage, as soon as one door closes another door opens. If you've got the door cracked open even just a little bit, it’s not shut, so as a previous job seeker myself, I recommend you, shut the door so your new door opens.
