The “you” in this title is everyone still struggling through this economy and the “me” is the economy. I felt this was a fitting title because the amount of calls we’ve been fielding for 3-4 years now from candidates that are racking their brains trying to figure out why they can’t find a job is staggering. They all call me with a sense of “Kipp! What’s wrong with me!”. They’re all shocked when I say “There’s nothing wrong with you”. This economy has the best of candidates pulling their hair out trying to figure out a new angle, a new trick or anything that will get them in the door for a new job. The problem is that their is just not much out there. We’ve seen fits and starts. This past Spring and early Summer was the closest I’ve felt to “normal” in years. But alas, things are sputtering again.
My message here is if you have a good background (and that is key) then don’t beat yourself up wondering why you haven’t landed a new position. Just keep at it. The economy is slow in turning around but it has made substantial progress from where we were a while ago.
