Our Path in Life...

Our path in life, is not always simple. There are times the map of our life may resemble this monstera leaf. There may not be a smooth road for us to follow. That road may be filled with potholes, or obstacles of various kinds: job loss, health issues, family difficulties. The list can go on and on. In fact. our life at this moment may seem to be a monstrous disaster, just like the name of this leaf.

It is up to you to figure out how to navigate this strange map with all its potholes. Just know that you are not alone. There are people, agencies and networks out there to help you. The main thing is to keep moving, one step at a time. One auto worker who had lost his job said "You cannot be afraid to change directions" He went from working on an assembly line to studying to become a CNA. This was his first step in a new direction. He found out that he loves it!

All of us in the Office Administration Department, will do our best to help you find your new direction. It may be learning new skills to move up in your chosen field, or to totally change gears. IRSC also has tools for you to use. Check out the Career Center link.

Also check out the job links further down this blog. By clicking on one of the tags, you can make the blog show specific subjects. Try it... Explore and learn.
