Career Jujitsu cannot fix a sagging economy

We all have to recognize our limitations. I connect with jobshoppers almost every day. Many are depressed about the general state of the economy and their local lackluster job markets. They remind me that on average more than 5 jobshoppers are competing for just about every job being staffed. And many I talk with don't see themselves as being part of the luck 20% that are getting those jobs!

It's true. Times are tough for jobshoppers. There simply aren't enough jobs for everybody right now. The competition is growing tougher. The jobs aren't expected to pick-up for some time. We expect it may take years before we return to pre-recession employment levels. And even when that happens, the damage to so many jobshoppers' careers (and household incomes) will leave painful scars for years thereafter.

What I'm about to say may seem harsh, but these doom and gloom outlooks about our economy and employment levels aren't relevant to Career Jujitsu. We feel the public's pain, but that pain isn't our problem. Career Jujitsu is not for everyone. And not just anyone will try it, use it or benefit from it. Career Jujitsu is for those who step up and try it, use it and benefit from it. So, for those 80% unlucky jobshoppers who fail to get the jobs (and those who continue to lose their jobs)--and those jobshoppers who are not using Career Jujitsu--we're sorry if we cannot help you.

But for those jobshoppers who are using Career Jujitsu, are getting the jobs they want and keeping the jobs they enjoy--we are so happy to be of service to you!
