Job Etiquette: In Memoriam 2013

Usually at the end of the year, whether it be in print or on the various award shows, there is a spot to remember  people who died and their contributions.  It is usually a time to be respectful, sympathetic and to remember people and their talents. It is also a time to look forward to the new year and what it may hold in store for us. Job Etiquette has decided to create In Memoriam for job seekers.

  • For lost employment
  • For lost work friends
  • For lost company events
  • For lost vacation time
  • For lost “employed” status
  • For lost benefits: medical, dental, vision, etc.
  • For lost paychecks and unemployment checks
  • For lost time and a half for overtime work
  • For lost self esteem and confidence
  • For frustration and self doubt

Looking forward to 2014, there is always the hope for change. I try with my blog to provide helpful hints and information to you with the hope that you will see what is real vs. ideal and to always see humor in your job search. I am grateful for my followers and hope to continue my assistance to you in the New Year.  Let’s hope your losses are small and your gains this year will overcome much of what is on this In Memoriam list.

Happy New Year to all with wishes for a safe, healthy and rewarding 2014!
