Hangover from the 1960s Glorification of Feeling - That Will Derail Your Job Search

 Many of the white-collar sectors are downsizing. They may never return to the earlier demand patterns. Especially hit hard are the erudite niches such as management consulting.

Daily on professional anonymous networks - and in my tarot-reading practice - there are soul-wrencing laments about layoffs. In this one on Fishbowl Consulting there is this wisdom:

" ...limit yourself to 24 hours of 'grieving.'”

Despite all that our economy has gone through since the dot.com bust, post-9/11 downturn, world financial implosion, COVID and the current souring prospects for knowledge workers, those negatively impacted tend to continue to withdraw into feeling. That's a carryover from the 1960s era of romanticism: Let the emotions rip. That's where your truth is.

Sure, take of pause to process the shock and the new burden to put together a solution for how to earn a good living.

In the tarot that is symbolized by the Four of Swords.

But that should be a temporary state of being. 

Also, there is this reality: No one cares what you feel. They focus on your behavior. In the search for next, zero in on what behavior will signal to the world those hiring should take you aboard for full-time or contract work.
