Write it out
Sometimes we need an outlet when we're feeling stressed by job loss or change. This week's USA Weekend, a magazine-type insert that is carried in the Atlanta newspaper, had a good article about decreasing your stress by writing down your concerns.
Here's part of the article, written by Jenny Rough: "Divorce, illness, job loss. Pick a traumatic event in your life, then write about it. Studies show that doing so can improve your health. James W. Pennebaker, a psychologist at the Univ. of Texas and author of Writing to Heal, says bottling up major life traumas is dangerous and can increase your risk of illness."
If the idea of scribbling down your problems sounds difficult, Rough recommends four books to help you get started:
On Writing, a Memoir of the Craft, by Stephen King
Courage and Craft: Writing Your Life into Story, by Barbara Abercrombie
The Artist's Way Every Day, by Julia Cameron
Thinking about Memoir, by Abigail Thomas
You can probably find most of these books at the library, or the library can order them for you through the West Georgia regional library system. These are not necessarily faith-centered books, but they may give you a jump-start on writing as a way to relieve stress and focus on what kind of changes you eventually want to make in your career and/or life.

What we're thankful for
GEN-ers, we recently received a letter from the Thornwell Home for Children, thanking our church for donating funds to help purchase Christmas gifts for children in need. The kids wrote about what they are thankful for, and their message is so good, we wanted to share it with you.
The Thornwell children wrote, "Thanksgiving is a time of year set aside to thank God for all of our blessings. We are blessed to have friends and family and food and clothes. We are blessed to have sunshine and happiness. We are thankful for homes and TV and video games and music. Even bad things are blessings. The rain give us smarter and helps the plants grow. The vegetables make us healthy and strong. School makes us smarter. Sickness makes us appreciate being well. The Bible tells us to give thanks in all circumstances. We thank God for all of our blessings on Thanksgiving Day and every day."
Even bad things are blessings--isn't that an interesting thought? But it can be true, as long as you trust God to work in your circumstances, no matter what.
Remember, the God who made you, loves you, and He will not let you go. Even if you're walking through a season of "bad things," be sure that you are not alone.
God has a plan for your life, and in His timing, He will reveal it. "God is strong and can help you not to fall" Jude 24). Thanks to God for his love and grace!

Gold's Gym is hiring
Marsi, thanks for letting us know that Gold's Gym is looking for a membership counselor and personal trainer. Check with Gold's for location and how-to-apply.
Encouragement from Jobseekers of Peachtree City
Thanks to Dave O'Farrell, who helps lead the Jobseekers of Peachtree City networking group, for today's message:
"1. Inspiration: Downcast People Are Always Welcome at JobSeekers
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." -- Philippians 4:4–7
As I talk to job seekers over the days, weeks and years, I learn about people who are going through a period of depression. The depressed people aren't telling me; it's someone else who tells me about them. Oftentimes, some of the most depressed people don't attend the JobSeeker meetings.
This concerns me for two reasons: first, if you are staying home on Friday mornings because you're down, you're making the problem worse. I'll say more about this in a minute. Second, I'm concerned because the meetings are so upbeat, you may feel out of place.
Friends, downcast people are always welcome at JobSeekers! I can tell you with 100% certainty that every JobSeeker in that room on Friday mornings has battled negative thoughts and feelings if they have been looking for a job for 30 days or more. The only difference between you and them is that they may be at a peak while you are in a valley. When you are in the valley looking up, it seems everyone is better off than you. Come to JobSeekers and we will lift you up.
Mood swings come with the territory. Job search is an emotional roller coaster. If you are down, find someone else at the bottom of his or her curve and lift him or her up. I spoke to a job seeker today who took another job seeker to lunch; both were in a funk before, and now both are in better spirits. Philippians 2:4 says, "Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." The best way to lift your own spirits is to pick someone else up.
If you get down and stay down, get help. God doesn't want you there; at least not for long. He will provide resources -- including other people -- to help you out of the dark hole you are in. Look at what you might be doing to make the problem worse. Examine yourself mentally, physically, socially and spiritually:
1. Mentally.
Read uplifting books. Listen to motivational tapes. Seek wise counsel, even professional help if necessary. Don't spend too much time on the computer. And when you work on the following three areas, mental health usually takes care of itself.
2. Physically.
Diet, rest and exercise form the three-legged stool of good health. Depressed people often make the problem worse by changing their habits in these areas for the worse. Eat and drink healthier foods and beverages, get the proper amount of rest, and exercise more often; you've got the time!
3. Socially.
Do not withdraw! Get out and about. Help someone else. You are making depression worse if you are staying home on Friday mornings -- and every other day of the week. Lethargy sets in and depression becomes more and more difficult to overcome.
4. Spiritually.
Admit it. Confess it. Write about it. Pray about it. You're in good company. David wrote more psalms of lament than anything else. Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. Old Job had more trouble than any of us will ever see. Yes, you are in good company; the person sitting next to you has been there too.
Depression is not the problem; it's a symptom of the problem. You've got to figure out what the root cause is. Some say they are having a run of bad luck. You can do a lot to change your luck; it starts by laying your problems at the foot of the cross. Trust in the Lord and work wholeheartedly as he directs you.
Chuck Hodges, former pastor at Peachtree City United Methodist, emphasizes that there's a difference between joy and happiness. As Christians we are called to be joyful all the time (see the "Rejoice in the Lord always" passage above). We are called to be joyful, but we don't necessarily have to happy. In fact, if you were happy about being out of work, we may need to talk!
When Paul wrote to the Philippians, he instructed them to rejoice in the Lord always; I know from personal experience that "always rejoicing" is tough to do when you are looking for a job. Friends, it is okay to be depressed while you are looking for a job; it is not okay to accept it as your fate. Decide today that, with God's help, you will not dwell on your present circumstances; you will hope for -- search for -- the abundant life God has planned for you.
Dwelling on the abundant life he has in store for you -- now that's something you can be joyful about, even when times are tough! My prayer for all of you is that when you hit the bottom of the joy curve, you will claim this verse -- and all of God's promises -- for yourself.
Come to JobSeekers tomorrow -- especially if you are weary and heavy-laden -- and He will lift you up! You will find rest for your souls, hope for your heart, and strength for the week ahead.

2. Success Story: Change of Strategy Leads to Success
Dave, I landed a job with a stable company.
I am a sales analyst with a company called Covente, which is located in the northwest Atlanta area. The position starts out as a contract position, which will eventually go to permanent in three months. My compensation is base salary plus commission. Covente is one of the fastest growing high tech sales companies and was voted one of the best companies to work for by Jezebel Magazine. They are swamped with work despite this economy.
Covente contracts with only larger hi-tech companies such as IBM and SAP. I will be working on the SAP account generating revenue in business-to-business sales. I will be doing software upgrades sales to current SAP customers. My team and supervisor are awesome. Everyone is very helpful in making sure that I am successful with this company.
Here's how I got the job:
I was laid off as a human resources associate from a local company. It was my dream job and probably one of the only few times that I can say that I had an awesome supervisor and team. However, due to the economy, I was laid off eight months ago.
For about six months, I have been networking diligently within the Atlanta area searching for an HR position. While networking, I came to a realization that there were too many HR professionals looking for work and very few job openings. However, I continued to make an effort to network and meet other human resources professionals.
I met more than 20 managers, directors and VPs of HR for one-on-one interviews, a cup of coffee or lunch. All of the human resources leaders were confident in the long term success of their companies, but many were uncertain about the short term success. I networked consistently and it yielded no human resources jobs.
After about five months of looking for an HR position and meeting way too many unemployed HR professionals, I decided to make a temporary career transition and look for other opportunities.
Two months ago I saw a posting on Ruthies List, which is a yahoo group for recruiters and human resources professionals. According to the posting, Covente was looking for a sales analyst. I applied for the position and got the interview! I was made an offer and started work a month ago.
Special thanks to all of you that shared job leads with me, prayed with me, gave me words of encouragement, sat down with me in an informational interview, had coffee with me, or even called to say "hi." I still have the ambition and desire to get back into human resources, but am very happy in finding this position until I get my dream job. I know that God will open many doors for me like he always has. So, I can only say that the best is yet to come!
If I can help any of you in anyway, please never hesitate to connect with me.
Sincerely,
Christian Neptune

I still have the ambition and desire to get back into human resources, but am very happy in finding this position until I get my dream job. I know that God will open many doors for me like he always has. So, I can only say that the best is yet to come!
If I can help any of you in anyway, please never hesitate to connect with me.
Sincerely,
Christian Neptune

It's all about networking
GEN-ers, don't overlook the power of networking. One of our members, Steve F., had an interview today for a position that ultimately was not the right fit. But the interviewer was so impressed, he told Steve he would forward his resume to other people in his business/industry.
That's what networking is all about: letting people know that you're in the market for a new job, and asking others to help you spread the word. Even if an interview doesn't work out today, you never know--you may have planted a seed that will lead to an opportunity in the future!
Remember, if someone interviews you, follow up with a note or email to thank them, too. It leaves a good impression and may help them keep you in mind.

1. Inspiration: This is Job Hunting Season
Every year I find out that some of you are less active -- or not active at all -- in your job search between Thanksgiving and New Year's. If I get a chance to hear from you, it goes something like this, "Dave, I've been looking for a while and I'm kind of burned out on job search, so I need a break; besides, no one's hiring around the holidays anyway."
Have you had thoughts and feelings similar to this?
No one is hiring around the holidays? In the battlefield of the mind, the devil wants to you to think this way. Friends, NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! On the contrary, some executive recruiters have a higher quota in December than in any other month. If a company's fiscal year is the same as the calendar year, budgets are formulated and approved in September and October -- and candidates are screened, interviewed and offered jobs in November and December. They start their new jobs on the first business day of January.
Satan would love it if you put your search on hold for eight weeks!
Is your competition interviewing for jobs that you're qualified for while you're out spending money you don't have? Will they be starting a new job on Monday 4 January 2010 (54 days from now) because you were out shopping, or doing projects around the house, or unwinding because of all the stress of your job search?
Companies are hiring right now. Every year several JobSeekers start new jobs in January because they didn't sit on the sidelines in November and December. Get in the game now. Today is a workday. You have a full-time job right now -- with deferred compensation!
Six years ago, for instance, Dave Tripp went home to Kansas for Thanksgiving. He came back with a job offer. Andy Whitlock, leader of the job ministry in Newnan, interviewed for a job the week before Christmas and again on New Year's Eve; he got the offer within a week. He said, "And I thought the holidays were going to be quiet."
Five years ago Henry Gregorich went to a company Christmas party; he seized the opportunity to do some job networking and made a great impression on a gentleman who called a couple of weeks later to see if Henry was still looking. He was, and the gentleman offered him a job. Don Apking, Randy Coggin and Ken King also wrote to me late in December to inform me of their new position.
Four years ago Mark Foote, Cliff Barrett, Dennis Szczepanski, Patrick Bauer and Kelly Carroll accepted jobs in the last two weeks of December.
Three years ago Bobby Rose, Bruce Brzoska, Heidi Lesser, Alan Millsaps, Richard Rodriguez, George Smith and Chris Clark interviewed for and/or accepted a job between 13 December and the end of the year. If they had been sitting on the sidelines in December, they'd still be looking for a job in January.
Two years ago, between 11/15/2007 and 1/17/2008 (64 days) I received 26 "I got a job" emails, plus some others verbally – one every other day. In fact, eight of the emails arrived between January 3rd and 7th. Wes Hill received three offers in one week. Mike Fowler received a job offer while we were at the Atlanta Bread Company; he'd been unemployed less than five weeks. Aaron Royster interviewed for a job on December 26th; yes, the day after Christmas! He started on January 14th. Don't sit on the sidelines this season.
Last year, we had about 20 people get jobs in October. Phil Kelley landed a job on November 3rd. This was followed closely by John Thomas, Adrian Neeley, Don Menke, Cynthia Stallworth, Gordon Brown, Pete Wallace, Kelly Sigmon, Donald Augustus and Matt Dukes.
Matt wrote, "staying in the hunt during the holiday season does pay off. I found this job through an evening newsletter that I get through The FENG (Financial Executive's Networking Group). I happened to see the posting in the job leads section that appeared on the last newsletter that I would get for 2008. I applied to the position on Christmas Eve, had a phone interview on the 26th and an in-person interview on New Year's Eve. Before I had left the office on the 31st, I was offered the position and, of course, gladly accepted. I started here on January 5th."
Last Friday, Nat Drucker stopped by my office with his good news: He had two great offers in hand and withdrew from a third opportunity that was at the offer stage. He accepted the one that was near his hometown in New York. He landed the job nine weeks after he completed the O'Farrell Career Management workshop.
Yes, you can get a job if you use the strategy, tools and skills we teach – and top it off with a positive attitude. Is it tougher out there? Yes, but with God's help you can do it. All you need is ONE job. Don't sit on the sidelines this season.
Here are three things I challenge you to do as the holidays approach:
1. Work on your search 24/7.
Work hard. Work smart. Always be on the lookout for networking opportunities. Don't make a mistake that will cost you a month's pay. What would God want you to do this month? Sit on the sidelines or look for a job? Look again at Proverbs 3:5-6 from The Message: "Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track." Notice the phrase, "in everything you do." It implies action, not passivity.
2. Be joyful always, even when money it tight.
Don't spend beyond your means. Set a good example for your kids and others. What better time to show that your happiness is not rooted in what you have or in what great (expensive) presents you can give? Your happiness comes from the spirit of the living God. I think of Paul's words in Philippians 4:10-12: "I rejoice greatly in the Lord ... I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."
3. Bring joy to others, especially those who are not connected to you.
God desires a sacrifice of our time, talents and treasure. When money is tight, you can still give of your time and talents. We are God's hands and feet, so put them to work. Back to Paul's words; this time in Philippians 2:3-4: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
I close with this blessing from Paul: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." -- Romans 15:13
See you at JobSeekers (every Friday), where we rejoice year-round – whether we are employed or not.

God has a plan
GEN members, we talk a lot here about how to find a job, where to find a job, and so on. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the fact that God has a plan for each one of us, and He is at work in our situation, too.
If you get discouraged during your search, make time to spend a few minutes in prayer. Talk to God honestly and sincerely; David, the shepherd boy who became a king, certainly did. The Psalms are filled with his pleas and even groanings, when times were bad, and yet we're told that David was a man after God's own heart. God is big enough, after all, to hear whatever we need to say or ask.
God will lead you through this time of transition. Be sure that He loves you.
"My Word is eternal. My promises forever. They will never let you down. You can count on Me to keep My Word, even when the sky and earth disappear." From Mark 13:31,excerpted from God's Little Book of Guarantees by Heather Kopp.

House Extends Jobless Benefits and Home Credits
GEN members, here's a news report on the extension of unemployment benefits:
by JACKIE CALMES
Published: November 5, 2009
WASHINGTON — The House voted overwhelmingly on Thursday afternoon to offer up to 20 more weeks of unemployment benefits to those who have been out of work a long time, sending the measure to President Obama for his signature. The White House said that he would do so on Friday morning.
The measure, passed after weeks of delay in which hundreds of thousands of Americans exhausted their government aid, will increase to 99 weeks, or nearly two years, the maximum length of time that a jobless worker can get benefits in some states.
The legislation was approved unanimously on Wednesday by the Senate, which added two unrelated provisions to extend and liberalize tax breaks that were in this year’s $787 billion economic stimulus package. One provision will continue for five months a popular $8,000 credit for many first-time home buyers, which was to expire Nov. 30, and create a $6,500 credit for some homeowners who want to buy a new residence. The other will allow businesses to deduct losses from their income in five profitable years instead of two; the stimulus law had limited the break to small businesses.
The Democrats felt an urgency to act now because the monthly labor report that comes out Friday is expected to show that the nation’s unemployment rate in October continued to be at or above 10 percent. Also, more than 600,000 workers had run out of benefits at the end of October, according to the National Employment Law Project, a liberal advocacy group.
“We help people in very bad straits, and we help our economy and help us all,” said Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the Democratic majority leader.
The Senate’s 98-to-0 vote on Wednesday disguised the partisan divisiveness of past weeks. After Democrats settled their internal differences a month ago, Republicans objected to acting until Democrats allowed votes on amendments opposing illegal immigration, the liberal organization Acorn and the financial rescue program. The Democrats refused, saying that Republicans were trying to score political points.
By this week, pressure to act was building from states with double-digit unemployment rates. One Republican senator, George V. Voinovich of Ohio, suggested impatience with his colleagues’ demands.
“This is serious business, and we ought to get on with it,” Mr. Voinovich said in an interview. “We’ve got to keep these families together so they don’t fall through the cracks. I mean, this is what keeps them going so they get through this period.”
On Wednesday, the Senate voted to end the filibuster, 97 to 1. The holdout was Senator Jim DeMint, a Republican from South Carolina, which has the nation’s fifth-highest unemployment rate, 11.6 percent. Hours later, he joined supporters on the vote to pass the bill.
A spokesman for Mr. DeMint, Wesley Denton, said, “He’s disappointed it is being paid for by increasing burdens on small businesses that create jobs instead of using unspent stimulus funds.”
The tax provision that will offset the $2.4 billion cost of the extra benefits so they do not add to the budget deficit is a longstanding one. The bill will extend a 33-year-old surcharge on the tax that employers pay to finance unemployment compensation. First imposed in 1976 as a temporary levy, the surcharge has been $14 a worker since 1983.
The bill will extend benefits by 14 weeks nationwide for those whose relief has run out, and up to 20 weeks in states — 26 currently — where the unemployment rate is over 8.5 percent.
The nation’s unemployment compensation system is a patchwork of state programs; federal benefits are available when state aid runs out, typically after 26 weeks. Reflecting the severity of the recession, the number of workers who have been out of a job longer than that comprise about a third of the total unemployed — the highest share since data collection began in 1948, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal policy group.

Inspirational quotes
Patti, these quotes are so good, they bear repeating here:
“Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves, when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little, when we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to shore."
"Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly to venture on wider seas where storms show Your mastery; where losing sight of land we shall find stars. We ask You to push back the horizons of our hopes; we ask You to [lead us into] a future of strength, courage, hope and love.”
” -- Sir Francis Drake, 16th – century English sailor
