How Can Something Little Have a Large Effect?

November 17th, 2014 Leave a comment Go to comments

It’s odd, really the things that keep us going. And when you’re looking for work, this becomes even more important as it’s so easy to get discouraged. Why does learning a new skill lift our spirits? Because we feel productive, excited, unstuck. Here’s what happened to me. In the midst of recreating my work life after being let go a few years ago, I learned to knit. I started with really simple small projects, then tried harder things, and am now a master mitten knitter. I give them to family and friends. I knit while watching the news and find I’m relaxed. I take pictures of everything I make and love to think of my son wearing warm alpaca mittens or our grandkids out in the snow with their hands protected by the mittens I made them.

So add something fun to your job search. Something unexpected. Who knows where it may take you?
