Dear Betty,
My position as a customer service coordinator has been eliminated after working with the same company for 16 years. I am at wits end. I regret being a loyal and dedicated employee for so long. I have sent out my resume and registered at numerous employment agencies. I am not having any luck whatsoever, these jobs are being outsourced out of the country and I am left with little hope. I spend at least four hours per day researching and networking. I am very discouraged and was hoping you have a suggestion.
Thanks,
Sally T.
Dear Sally T:
I would suggest enrolling in some adult education courses. Sally, do you have a hobby? If so, can this hobby be turned into a profit? Ms. Kim Lavine, author of Mommy Millionaire, turned her “kitchen table idea into a million dollars.” This book is a wonderful resource for any business. It is a step by step guide filled with great advice, real life lessons and good humor. Burt’s Bee is another example of a hobby turned into a profitable business. This may be a turning point and what seems like a negative may turn into a positive and profitable venture for you.
Keep me Posted!
Sincerely,
