"The price of greatness is taking responsibility."

Sir Winston Churchill, British Prime Minister. 1874 – 1965

There are a lot of unemployed people in the country. Businesses have closed. Prices have gone up. We have been caught in the middle of huge corporate downsizing. Yes there are economic challenges that have never been seen before. But you have what it takes inside of you to overcome all of this. You are not a VICTIM.

The victim mentality is "It’s not my fault!" Of course it’s not your fault. But if you allow events such as these to take control of your life you will never reach your true potential.

A definition of a Victim: Someone who has been harmed, injured, or killed as the result of a crime. Someone who has been affected by a bad situation such as an accident or an illness. someone who has suffered as a result of the actions or negative attitudes of someone else or of people in general. something that is badly affected by a situation, a decision etc.

Let’s face it you’re not really a victim if you are unemployed. It really sucks. But you’re not a victim.

So why is this the topic of today’s blog?

Well, if you are an individual who doesn’t accept failure. Who doesn’t rest until they know they have done the best they could. They have gone the extra mile. They are positive in the face of rejection. They are realistic when they are not the right fit for the position they interviewed for. You are somebody who spends more time learning new skills, learning interview techniques, understanding the industry they are in. Being persistent when they have had a 100 NO’s. If you fall into these roles you are not a victim of your circumstance. You are taking control of your life and you WILL find the right job you are looking for.

We salute you for your efforts. We thank you for being the example of what we should be when we are in the grip of unemployment. Thank you for not being a victim
