PAC Career Link - Bringing You The Lastest Jobs in San Antonio!

"Your work is to discover your work and then with

all your heart to give yourself to it."

-Buddha

In honor of February, the month of love, we bring you an article from U.S. News' Curt Rosengren that highlights the power of one having passion in what they do and strive for. Mr. Rosengren starts off with defining passion as, "Passion is the energy that comes from bringing more of YOU into what you do." When what you are doing is aligned with who you are and what you're naturally drawn to, it's energizing. And not only is doing the work energizing, it also doesn't drain you like work that doesn't fit. So in a way, you get a double dose of energy, first from the energy you gain from doing the work, and second from the energy you're not losing.

Here are five big ways that having energizing work benefits both your life and the world around you:

You have more energy to put back into your work.
You have more energy to put into relationships.
You have more energy to put into making a difference.
You have more energy to put into enjoying life.
You have more energy to put into overcoming challenges.

EMPLOYMENT TIP #3

Keep that glass half-full approach, all year.

A job search will always have its frustrating moments, because things don't always happen when or how we want them to happen. But instead of letting setbacks ruin motivation, take them as lessons. Your lack of interviews may mean it's time to re-evaluate your career path or skill set, which could lead you to a more fulfilling career. This type of positive attitude will be much more productive in helping you find your next job. The bottom line is that job searching will be tough this year, but landing a job -- even your dream job -- can still be a reality. A proactive job search is your best bet, so take the necessary steps to ensure you get the job you want.
