Last Tuesday I presented at a networking event for local job seekers. There were 3 other career coach-types (technically I’m not a coach, but hey…let’s just call them coaches for this article to make things simple) talking to groups of 2 to 5 people at a time for about 15 minutes.

While unemployed, I’ve discovered that a big change can start with just one little step and an open mind.

Guest post by Srinivas Rao: A few weeks ago I was laid off from my job that I had been at for the past 2 years. I immediately hopped into panic mode. But after some careful reflection, I realized that in the past when I was unemployed, I always ended up in a much better situation at my next job.

Someone once told me that a corporation was a nasty thing to fall in love with….because it will NEVER love you back. The rules of loyalty in the work force are changing. No one can deny that.
