Plus, let's hope this sets the standard for other companies throughout the country.<br /><br />I agree that a culture change has to take place.

I have been looking for a new position since October, any thoughts on answering the interview question: "why did you leave your job?"

I decided to stay and leverage myself for the next step. As long a you are patient, prosperity will follow.

I would like you to listen and tell me what you think. I am also completing a book on Career Change Design and may ask you to take a read and give me some feeback. I am a Life Transition Coach/Career Change Strategist, among other things...slash careers. <BR/>Your guidelines are good for those who are literally confused and don't know what to do next...as many have stated in blogs and the kind. However, each person has to basically look to revamp themselves from mindset to priorities and take a PAUSE before launching out there to just FIND A JOB. In many instances, they will find that this is their chance to be entrepreneurial, not in the sense of getting into debt to start a business ( in the traditional way) but in reaching deep to activate hidden talents and be their own CEO. Many will end up being better off and feeling better about themselves in the long run.
