Are You Lying to Yourself About Your Job Search Goals?
It is hard to honestly define a job goal for oneself. An honest decision must come from a person's values, sense of self and vigorous self analysis. If that is not done, then the person is only pretending to seek a satisfying job goal.
Pretending and lying are twins and cloud the pursuit of a sincere life and career.
Where does this dishonesty come from? I believe that it comes from a deep lack of self respect and open, honest life values. It might be easier to hide one's real pursuits than to openly find a job that has real meaning.
How does a job seeker overcome this internal barrier? I think it will take a lot of self reflection and honesty within the self. A lot of people either cannot or will not make the effort. Some of them are truly the "working wounded" and living lives of quiet desperation. We have all met them. If you read this, I hope you are not one.
