Want to know a secret?

Let's knock this one for dead right now.

I got rather upset a few weeks ago when a client offered me a lot of money to show her how to access "the hidden jobs market". I was upset for two reasons. Firstly, she clearly felt the reason for her continuing underemployment was the existence of some sort of conspiracy which she was not yet privy to. The second was that she felt that I knew all about it and wasn't telling her, and needed to be bought to do so.

Just because you can't see something it does not mean it is hidden. There is only one secret and I'll tell you it at the end of this article.

Setting Goals and Maintaining Momentum

Setting goals is vital to maintaining momentum when you’re looking for work. If you’re standing still you’re losing ground to those people who are making progress towards work. The most important thing is to keep going, no matter what happens. There are plenty of people who are unemployed for two, five, ten or more years who find work, and the ones who succeed are the ones who keep going.
