Job Search Eagle River AK

Face it: You’re dangling from the career ladder, and you want to jump off! Your work is boring or has lost its meaning, your boss controls your priorities and your time, you find no place to use your enthusiasm and creativity - you want to scream "I hate my job!".

And this thing you call a job isn’t even secure! The world of corporate employment is full of land mines these days, and you’re trying to dodge them like everyone else. Thousands of blue-collar workers are getting pink slips. If you’re in a technical job, you’re increasingly at risk to that work being outsourced abroad. Even if you’re a manager or an executive, maybe you feel like an anonymous cog.

There’s one more thing: The material payoffs for enduring this kind of career stagnation are diminishing every day. Salaries and wages creep up slowly, if at all. Traditional benefits like pensions and health insurance are eroding. And the notion of company loyalty to employees has become about as old-fashioned as VCRs.

All of this brings you to one conclusion: I want to start a business and stop working for the man. If so, you’ll be happy to know that more than 80% of the people who will be launching a business this month, next month or the month after that, according to a study by Babson College, are looking to leave their jobs, just like you.

We want to do everything we can to encourage you to join the flight from unhappy employment.
