Working for the Paycheck
by Candice ADear Sue:
My gut and my heart are telling me it is time to move on and leave my job. I’ve been a secretary for the same person for 15 years and a manager of the clerical staff for four years. With this managerial position, my salary has increased while my interest in the job has decreased. I am burned out. I not only work for the CEO of the company and two Vice Presidents, but I manage a staff of 12. When my workday is done, I go home to three children under the age of 10.
I am hesitant to leave because I make great money and get four weeks of vacation a year. I realize this is good, but I feel I am in my “comfort zone”.
It is amazing how may different opinions I get about my making the move. I either hear, “Why would you want to leave all that?”, “A job is a job”, and “Can’t you just go to work, earn your paycheck and leave work at work and go home to your family?”, etc.
I believe I have figured out money isn’t everything. I think a person needs to enjoy what they are doing.
I’ve discussed the possibility of leaving with my husband, but he is only looking at the dollar signs. He wonders why I would want to go somewhere else, especially because I might find out it could be worse than what I have now. I say that it might be better.
What are your thoughts on this? I love your column and your advice and hope you can help me.

September 11
by Candice AWords of Wisdom from Sue:
Dear Readers,
On September 11, I was conducting a workshop when John, the person responsible for the workshop, came in to inform us of the horrific events that had taken place that morning. Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke, and the mood in the room became somber. Suddenly the concepts being taught in the workshop seemed insignificant in contrast to what had happened, and I wondered how to proceed. -

Oh, And Thanks!
by sarah ennengaEverybody says you should send a thank-you letter after an interview. Everybody is right.
People seem to be getting it because according to the Wall St. Journal about 90 percent of applicants send thank yous. Good news.
The bad news: Only half of those personalize their letters.
Ugh. People are sending form thank yous? That’s worse than no thank you at all! -

Austin’s Labor Squeeze
by joel cheesmanSome Texas cities, like Austin, have been noticing a lack of skilled physical laborers. The shortage began in 2005, when it was noted that there were not enough people to assist in rebuilding after Hurricane Rita and has continued to slowly grow since then.
The lack of workers has left a number of Austin jobs unfilled, which means that if things do not change in the near future there will not be enough laborers to fulfill the cities needs. If a situation like that occurs than certain county projects could take much longer than would usually be required.
