Headhunters are Unemployed

2009-04-13T22:24:00.000-07:00

This topic sounds a little funny, but this is a fact. This reflects cruel side of life. The work of Headhunters is to recommend job for others. Headhunters are unemployed; you can imagine unemployment crisis is so cruel.

Economic crisis causes unemployment crisis. The recruit demand of companies reduces, and then causes the business of head-hunting company to reduce. The economic crisis lets people feel cold.

I think this is a process of survival of the fittest. The strong headhunters will survive.

However, unemployment may not be a bad thing. It can enrich your life and work experience. It is necessary for us to learn to change bad thing into good thing.

I Can Find a Job -- Psychological Suggestion of Looking for a Job

2009-04-12T17:24:00.000-07:00

I am looking for a job. It is very difficult to look for a job in the storm of financial crisis, but I need to find a job, and I believe I can find a job.” John said.

The good psychological condition is the prerequisite of success. Don't ignore the power of psychological suggestion. The positive psychological suggestion can strengthen your self-confidence. It will become the motive power of success.

The power of psychological suggestion is really very big. A psychological research organization in U.S. once did such an experiment: Recruited some volunteers, measured their average grip (101 pounds) first, hypnotized them, and hinted they were weak. Measured their grip again, found their average grip was only 60 pounds; However, Offered them a kind of totally opposite hint in the same condition, told them that they were strong man. Their average grip can reach 140 pounds unexpectedly.

Therefore, it is very important to learn positive psychological suggestion. If you think nice thing, the nice mood will follow you; if you think evil thing, the evil mood will follow you. So long as your consciousness give an order, your subconscious will not argue with you, it will totally accept this order. Therefore, don't say: "I cannot", "I will fail", "I can't find a job", etc.

Let positive psychological suggestion substitute passive psychological suggestion; imagine your successful scene; give oneself positive psychological suggestion in brief language. You are the ruler of your life; so long as you have confidence in yourself, no one can change you! "I can do it!" "I will certainly be able to successfully!" "I need to find a job!" "I can find a job!"

No matter what opinion, plan or purpose, so long as repeated think many times with strong faith and expectation, then it will inevitable put in subconscious, become the source of positive action. You will become full of confidence! "Fact" will develop towards the direction that you imagine.

"I am the best!" “I can succeed!” “I can find a job!”

Where can I find a job? How can I find a job? How do I find a job?

Unemployment is just like a dark abyss,
I have already fallen into this abyss,
Every cloud has a silver lining,
I will never give up.

Unemployment is just like a ferocious monster,
It has already carried off many people easily,
But I will fight with it bravely,
I believe I can defeat it,
For my wife, my son and my daughter,
I need a job now!!!

Unemployment poem dedicates to all unemployed people!

Except wait, I have no option.

But I need bestir myself,
Don't be sad,
I don't have reason to be hopeless,
I am still young,
I want a new job...

Do you know semi-unemployment? Salary reduces, unpaid leave, short-term stop production, cut down welfare etc. These are known as semi-unemployment. Semi-unemployment is known as invisible unemployment too. Though semi-unemployment is invisible, the distance between it and unemployment is very near.

It will cause the great negative effect to reduce the staff. In order to avoid reducing the staff, companies adopt some substitute measures, such as reduce salary, unpaid leave... However, semi-unemployment is merely probation before unemployment. If the economic situation of company worsens continuously, layoffs will be unavoidable. Semi-unemployment is just like one big dog getting ready to jump at body, you can already feel its ice-cold breath.

How to avoid semi-unemployment crisis?

Maybe it is a false problem to avoid unemployment facing absolute economic crisis, but you should believe that the strong can survive.

My suggestions:
1. Keep advantage in your field. Even the ordinary secretary, outstanding shorthand ability may be the best means that avoids unemployment.

2. Become generalist. Once company needs to merge several posts, generalist employees can’t be unemployed.

3. Strengthen communication with boss; don’t complain about company's situation.

4. Spend free time to do aerobics, this is conducive to reduce pressure hormone.
