Glad you liked the article, Don. We spend so much of our lives working. Finding a deeper meaning in that work seems to me to be one of the best things we can try to do. Thanks for your comment!

Todd - you nailed it. The thing I most find of interest when working with clients, employers, and associates is the deeper meaning in their lives. Our passions drive us and the more that we help others understand what we stand for, and WHY, the better. Thanks for the reminder.

Simon, I really appreciate the comment!

Amen to this. A purchase decision is a purchase decision, whether it's a product or a person. Someone has to decide if they want to buy you - they pay you and you work for them. The things that influence a decision to hire someone are the same principles as any other decision. They may like you because of your resume and experience, but they won't be genuinely excited for you to join them unless they "feel" you're a good fit in their company.

And if they don't - that's good too. You wouldn't want to work for a company in which you don't belong.

The trick is to always be honest. Tell the truth about the things you live, the things that drive you - WHY you do what you do. If you just say things that appeal to them, you're back at square one.

A special shout-out to talentline411 for sharing the WHY and inspiring people to find the jobs that they LOVE. Thank you for being a part of this movement to inspire people to do the things that inspire them.
