Not everyone who visits my website wants to be here.

Not everyone is excited to have a new resume done and to see what exciting opportunities are out there.

This last week I’ve done resumes for:

- A retiree who has been forced to go back to work after watching his retirement funds dwindle away due to the economic crisis

- A 25 year old who had recently lost a high paying job due to company takeover, and is now struggling to pay debts he incurred during what he thought was a secure job and a promotion just around the corner

- A 40 year old whose industry had been greatly affected by the economic crisis and after 20 years in the workforce is now needing to retrain in a whole new area

Some have a great sense of failure, even though nothing about their situation was caused by them. Still, a sense of failure can have a very real crippling effect.

If you let it.

Failure is 100% perception
