Looking for a Job? Look Harder…

By Nick Armstrong | Published: May 20, 2009
Times are tough and jobs are sparse. There seems to be two distinct lines of thought about what the unemployed should do. One line of thought says, "The Spice Must Flow" - in other words, go out and get any job you can that will keep the roof over your head and food on the table. Another line of thought says, "Every Person Has A Calling" - that is, you should get a job you like since that's the job you'll be best at. My personal thought on this is that if you take on a job you don't like, even if it pays well, you're going to bring yourself and the company a whole lot of hurt.
