"Is that all there is"

An old song title that a few may remember. Peggy Lee used to perform it a few years back.

We work hard to scour for interviews, companies that can use our talents, and a way to replace that "cash flow". You make resumes, search, network and at the end of the week you find yourself still unemployed. Is that all there is, you ask yourself. It almost seems fruitless.

Yet by not doing all this you miss out on more connections, learning new pieces of information, and best of all having fun. Even if it feels it is for naught you are making progress. Think of a Boeing 747 salesperson. They prospect all the time, in a limited pool of buyers and have few takers yet when one signs on the dotted line it is time for joy.

Your hard work will pay off for you and you'll know that there is more.
