Job Sight

 

 When focusing your sights what do you focus on? You focus on the JOB the TARGET!  Well, if you are not use to focusing your sights on a target that would be a common mistake made.  You focus on your sights first and line them up with your target.  The target is actually blurry compared to the clearness of your focus on your sights.  If you have this sight picture then you have proper target acquisition.  In other words: Does your sights line up with your target? If you focus on the target, in this case the job, and not on your front sight/cross-hairs you will not hit the target like you planned.  Sure your shot will go down range, but where will it actually hit?

I have lined up some examples for you to look over and evaluate their sight picture.  What was their focus and are they able to hit their target? Which one seems most like yours? 

Word this week on the street about jobs:

Figured I would take a field test on the job market.  This is what I have witnessed this week. 

 1) A Coca~Cola driver, Nathan, stated he was needing to find a new job.  His company was cutting everyone's salary back to $25,000 annually and increasing his route to service 15 more customers.  Instead of getting off at 3:30 PM, he is now getting off work at 7:30 PM, for 12 hours, five days a week.  On top of that he was having to sell raffle tickets along his route.  He was 28 YOA and is waiting on being selected for the next Police Academy.  Eight years of hard work to get his pay cut in half and to work a lot harder.  It was time for him to move on to something else.

2) Next I spoke with a fuel truck driver, Timothy, and when I approached him he received a phone call for a job offer with a freight trucking company.  He was excited! The 55 YOA man was selected to have an interview the next day to be paid $35.00 an hour and $.49 per mile he drove working 12 hours a day and only a four minute away from his house.  He currently was getting work for three days a week  to ship fuel and having to travel 35 miles to work. 

3) John is retiring next month with 24 years of military service, and struggling to get a job offer.  Then yesterday got a job offer for a federal job in Alaska.  It is the only offer he has with his experience and education, after looking for the past five months for his next career.

4) Paul retired from his third job at 72 YOA, and figures he is ready to retire and has everything paid off with three retirement checks coming in.  He is on his third marriage too!

5) Get this!  There are seven federal employees I know who have to the end of the month to pass a physical fitness test that just came out this year, as a requirement for them to keep their jobs.  They are 50-62 YOA, and have some health problems and are hard workers.  The men are facing not having a retirement or forced to retire early.

6) A 27 YOA young man, Matthew, works from home and owns two houses, and makes over six figures a month.  A business owner since he was 21 and is debt free.  Helps people to do what he does to leverage their time for money.
