Unemployed people are the busiest people I know!

This statement came from one of my customers, We had two office personnel lined up to start, and both after getting the offers, had other plans scheduled.

So, your not working and this is a good time to take care of personal items in your life. Also as a employer, I understand you have items that need to be taken care of. but ask yourself is it something that really needs to be done or do I need a new job so let us look at a list:

Get car fixed or have a new job
Get eyes examined or have a new job
Dentist appointment or have a new job
Emissions test or have a new job
Hair cut or have a new job
Pick up dry cleaning or have a new job
Take friend to airport or have a new job
Cut grass or have a new job
Clean house or have a new job
Plan a long weekend or have a new job
Wedding (not yours) or have a new job


Go on an interview, this is one of my favorites. I offer you work, you have been looking for some time , you get what you want WORK and you still want to know from me your employer if you can have the third day your supposed to work off, so you can go on an interview with another company.

So you have things that are scheduled. Maybe it is your wedding, how do you approach your potentially new employer?

I like when people tell me in advance. They let me know the dates, what the occasion is, and let me know why its important that they have that time off. Also that they will do what ever it takes to get the position, maybe put some extra time in.

You need to consider changing your schedule, so you can keep the job. As far as the office people I was going to place, we found someone else that could work.
