Under Construction

Building renovations and road construction projects are inconvenient while the work is being done. It can be frustrating at times, too. But when the work is complete, there's a reward, like smooth new asphalt or an expanded interior space.

It occurred to me tonight that job seekers are under construction in their own way. We are all remodeling inside (and sometimes outside appearances as well) in order to make ourselves better. Like a building renovation, it can be difficult, frustrating and inconvenient. There are decisions to be made along the way, especially in response to things that happen unexpectedly. A job seeker can start out with a blueprint of what his skills will look like, only to discover that the original plan must be modified or thrown out completely.

I'm looking forward to some good results for everyone doing the construction work of taking classes or upgrading skills.
