What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of a year.

Staying Motivated In Your Job Search

Staying Motivated In Your Job Search

Looking for work can be a long and tedious process, consisting of constantly flipping through job openings in the classifieds and online, and browsing your little black book of biz contacts.

Although repetitive, these are the things that have to be done when faced with the pink slip and bills to pay. But how do you keep yourself going strong, as if Anthony Robbins himself was right there next to you, cheering you on? Staying motivated in your job search could mean a faster hire for you, so we're here to tell you how to keep your chin up and your prospects high.

get used to it

Knowing that, today, people change jobs every couple of years, finding a job must become second nature to us. This simple yet effective list of self-help job search pointers will help you find, land and succeed in your next dream job.

Use your network of contacts
Now that you're unemployed, it's the perfect time to break out those business cards you've been collecting and put them to use. Don't ask your contacts for a job, but let them know you're looking for new projects to undertake. There's also no need to go into specifics about your old job; no one needs to know why you no longer work there. If they ask, just tell them you and your previous employer had "creative differences."

Find a part-time job
As there might be some time between planting the seeds and sowing an actual harvest, taking on a part-time job will help get you through financially in the interim. However, don't let this side job take away from your main goal of finding full-time employment.

Do the things you enjoy
Clearing your mind is as important as filling it up with information about your job search. So leave town for the weekend, play a game of cricket or learn to play the guitar. Whatever floats your boat.

Consider the job search your full-time job
To play hard, you need to work hard -- even if it's specifically to find a job. As aforementioned, you will likely be on the job hunt several times during the course of your professional life, so you might as well be productive about it, since a day spent looking for a job is one for which you won't be collecting a paycheck.

Don't settle for a position
As is the problem in many relationships, men sometimes settle for a decent job opening, fearing they won't find anything better. In the corporate world, there is always something better waiting for you out there, as long as you look for it. As the saying goes (or Heinz commercial demonstrates): "Good things come those who wait."

Use all your resources
Sticking to one avenue of job searching will not optimize your chances of landing the best position out there. So log on to any and all job websites, circle the best openings in the newspaper and make some calls to follow up on old leads you have. Don't be static or passive and you'll soon be rewarded for your work.

Make the most of your support group
Your friends and family are the best allies for your morale because at one point or another, they went through the same experience. Let them take you out and get your mind off of things. They've been there and done that, believe us.

Have a to-do list
Most of us work better when we follow specific guidelines and time frames, and things are no different when looking for work. Write down your major tasks for every day of the week and knock them down like Heinekens during happy hour.

Treat yourself
A positive reinforcement system has been proven effective in the workplace, and instilling this same system in your quest for a job will also be beneficial. And if you land a job within a specified time frame that you set for yourself, then why not treat yourself to a new bottle of cologne?

Make yourself happy

It's obvious that following these tips will not necessarily keep you happy about the job hunt (especially when it becomes discouraging), but this is a great opportunity to seek the positives in a negative situation. You can view this step in your life as the possibility of starting something new and fresh, as opposed to losing something old and familiar.

In case you're still having difficulties pumping yourself up for this tedious task, the book The Secrets of Executive Search... Professional Strategies for Managing Your Personal Job Search, by Robert M. Melancon, will help in your quest for a job.

career tip of the week

When you find yourself unemployed (point A), take the necessary time and effort to look for a job, and you'll eventually find the position you're looking for (point B). But remember to enjoy yourself while getting from point A to B, and never give up.

8 Tips To Negotiate A Higher Starting Salary

8 Tips To Negotiate A Higher Salary

Use Your Marketing Skills

1- Do your research

Learn as much as you can about the pay scale of the company that wants to hire you. Find out the industry average, as well. You may aspire to a career in scheduling at a major airline, but if the company's practice is to hire from within, you might need to accept an entry-level position. Union constraints may limit any flexibility on salary levels, no matter how many university degrees you have.

As part of your research, you need to have a clear idea of what your minimum salary expectations are. Do the math in advance and decide what your deal-breaker point is. There's no point wasting your time -- and the company's -- interviewing for a low-paying job in a company or industry that may not be able to offer the wages you need.

2- Don't tip your hand

Leave the salary expectation question blank on application forms, and don't mention a specific salary level in your cover letters. You want to get past the paper screening into the "to be considered" file without anyone thinking your anticipated salary is too high. You also don't want to lock yourself into accepting an offer of $55,000 per year if the decision-makers had budgeted up to $70,000 to fill the vacancy.

3- Understand your value

Consider whether you are in a position of power. If you're in high demand elsewhere, you have leverage. Draw attention to it, but be careful not to emphasize it too much. Avoid acting overly confident or cocky. It's OK to mention that you have interviews at other companies, but don't try to force a favorable decision.

4- Let the company bring up the salary negotiation issue

Avoid being the first to propose a salary figure. Tell them you're interested in a mutually rewarding career with the company and you're sure you can agree on an acceptable compensation package. If you're backed into a corner, introduce your salary range, but make it clear that it is "up for discussion." Don't ramble on. Say what you have to and then be quiet and listen.

5- Emphasize the benefits of your skills

When you talk about your last job, describe your accomplishments. Quantify your successes in terms of cost savings, increased productivity and overall contribution to the company. This will help the interviewers recognize the benefits of having you join their team, and will help boost the salary offer. If you earned performance bonuses or incentive awards, mention those so that you'll be viewed as an achiever, well worth top dollar.

6- Don't blink

Listen to how the offer is presented. When the interviewer or prospective new boss states a salary figure, nod your head to signify you're considering it, but keep quiet. If they're low-balling you, the figure could make a quick jump in those few moments of consideration.

7- Be reasonable

From your research, you know the offer is low. What do you counter at? If you choose 10%, you may have to accept a saw-off at 5%. Don't be confrontational. It's a calculated risk to walk away from a job offer. They might call you back with a revised starting salary or they might just close your file and hire someone else if they feel you've been greedy, arrogant or overly demanding.

8- Be flexible

If you want this job, consider agreeing to start at the salary level they're offering, so long as they offer additional bonuses for specific accomplishments. Be prepared to define them. Money is important, but consider the complete compensation package. Negotiate other perks and benefits and get them in writing. Ask about the frequency of potential salary increases. As with any negotiation, your goal is to create a win-win situation.

believe in yourself

Sometimes the only way you can get a higher starting salary is by being actively sought for your position. Other times, you may have to demonstrate that you have the exact skills the company needs and, if you play your cards right, you may land the job you want at a salary level beyond your dreams.

You can't escape history, or the needs and neuroses you've picked up like layers and layers of tartar on your teeth. ~Charles Johnson

Life... is like a box of chocolates - a cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that no one ever asks for, unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So, you're stuck with mostly undefinable whipped mint crap, mindlessly wolfed down when there's nothing else to eat while you're watching the game. Sure, once is a while you get a peanut butter cup or an English toffee but it's gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. In the end, you are left with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts, which, if you are desperate enough to eat, leaves nothing but an empty box of useless brown paper. ~The X-Files

“Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.”

“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.”

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

“May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.”

“Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they've been hurt before.”

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise”

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.”

“Hope is the most exciting thing in life and if you honestly believe that love is out there, it will come. And even if it doesn't come straight away there is still that chance all through your life that it will.”

“In all things it is better to hope than to despair”

“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

“When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God.”

“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”

"Goodbye My Lover"

"Goodbye My Lover"


Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when i wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

[x2]
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
