This is about doing something few are mindful of- pretending to be the boss interviewing them and understanding what she/he wants before speaking. Having said that, since we're also talking about being more creative during this economic slump, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another in the first place? I'm rather amazed that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not "conventional" enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy. Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but I'm convinced that thinking that way is a kind of tunnel vision that keeps many from learning skills that wold allow them to carve out there own path to income. One of them is as close as the computer in front of you. For the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves. leavethejobbehind.com One of the great points here is selling yourself as a cost-saver or turn-around artist.

Do you believe in what it says? Well, if you are interested in learning how this old world is going to turn out, read 2Timothy 3:1-5 , Mathew 24:3-14 and Luke 21:25. In these difficult times, there is much practical usage that we can get from Jesus Christs' sermon on the mount found at Mathew the 6th chapter. Christ advises that if we do not want to have a lot of anxiety, which steals our life away, we need to be content with the necessities. However, above everything else we are advised at the 33rd verse of that 6th chapter of Mathew, to seek God's kingdom and his righteousness. This thought is expansive-so try wrapping your mind around something that you cannot see and that you do not have faith in. Remember, faith is not automatic nor is the love of God because these qualities must be cultivated. Anyway, as to the recession, every system that makes up this world-the political, commercial, religious, institutional higher learning and so forth and so on will be eventually destroyed by the Kingdom Of God, in which many misinformed religious persons oddly pray for to come. Right now, the very foundation of this system is being shaken to the ground. All of this information is found in Gods' word the bible. If anyone is interested in asking any questions, please feel free to do so. Have you ever read the bible? Do you believe in what it says?
