Something occurs when we become unemployed or start a job search. We lose our professional identity.

It's an interesting and self-sabotaging phenomenon that occurs - one day we may be the Director of a multi-million dollar business, and the next day we are at home sweating over whether the font on our resume is good enough for Human Resources.

The Job Search "mind set" vs. a Business Transaction mind set is analogous to powerless vs. powerful, reactive vs. proactive, unconfident vs. confident.

Turning the job search into a business transaction focuses our attention on performing as the professional we are - possessing a wealth of expertise, experience and value we can offer to a potential company.

Together we will explore the disadvantages of the job search mentality, and how we can begin to turn our search for a new career opportunity into a Business Transaction mindset, to ultimately land more interviews and better offers.
