According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were about 9 million job openings in December.  Yet, there are nowhere near that many applicants available to fill those openings.  At the same time, there are endless stories of people applying to 100’s of jobs and never getting even one interview.  You’ll also see the same job posted, and reposted and then promoted again with 100’s or even 1000’s applying.  So, what gives?  Is this job market real?  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle podcast, I dive into the numbers and ask some questions.  More importantly, I’ll give you four options to help in your search for a new job, a better job, or just a better version of you.

Those words may be very hard to hear.  No one wants to think they can be replaced.  Maybe, you’ve been at the same company for 20 years or more and it’s never happened to you.  For many of us, it’s a very possible reality.  Even within your job, maybe you’ve been reassigned or didn’t get that promotion you should have.  Or…..maybe you were replaced.  The feelings of anxiety, feelings of, “am I not good enough?” start to creep in.  Maybe it was just a vindictive boss that wanted you out of the way.  For whatever reason you’ve been replaced, there is only one question.  How do you move on? It’s time to examine what truly happened and how you can move past it to become the person you wanted to be.  Stop thinking about being replaced, and start thinking about how you can be renewable.
