Fired to Hired - by Tory Johnson

Saturday, August 08, 2009

For a free online webinar that’s a companion to my just-released book, FIRED TO HIRED, I interviewed a dean at the school of continuing education at New York University to ask his thoughts on getting out of this unemployment mess.  He shared a great anecdote that gives all of us pause for thought.  
 
A fly was banging its body against a window as it tried to get out of a small room. Banging, banging, banging non-stop for three hours in an effort to escape, until finally it dropped dead. All the while, just a few feet away was an open door.
 
The moral: We don’t always have to try harder to achieve our desired results.  The solution at times is to try different. If you’re doing the same thing everyday and following the same strategy month after month to find a job or advance in your careerand it’s simply not workingrethink your tactics and try something totally different.
 
That might just do the trick.
