5/22/09

It is T-23 weeks since this search began. All of us start out looking for a job at the same level, pay and benefit package like our old one. We interview for a variety of positions...some junior, some senior, some in between. We get mostly rejection letters. Can we aim too low where we want to work as an end in itself? I've been struggling with this one too! If I aim too low, employers have a wide variety of low priced people to choose from.
They may choose the guy who's under-bidding the work. This is very frustrating! If I bid low, I likely will not get enough money to live on and pay my bills which I did successfully today. If I bid too high, I simply don't get the job. Then again, why would any of us want to go backwards?

I'd like to hear some comments on this.

God Bless and have a nice holiday weekend.
