Don't Forget Those Looking for Work

When we are so busy with our jobs and daily lives, it is easy to forget those who don't have jobs. We think they are sitting at home, travelling and enjoying the time off. Though this is true at times, it is easy for the job hunter to feel isolated and discouraged to the point of inactivity.


My sister, Leonor, has a beautiful way of giving the Mahal Spirit to her family and friends who are unemployed. She takes the time to chat with them and encourage them, reminding them of their talents, skills, and job-worthiness. In addition, she does this wonderful thing to get her job-hunting friends off their butts. Leonor sends out emails of job leads. These are not just so-so job leads. She takes the time to really target the person's skills, qualifications, and preferences.

We've all been there, job-hunting, discouraged, and at times, paralyzed. But when Leonor sends you that email with 5-1o targeted leads, it gets you excited again. In this most caring way, she gives hope, energy and inspiration.You all should be so lucky to have a Leonor in our lives. Why don't we be one to someone we know who is looking for work? Take a few minutes to follow her lead and see what a great blessing that can be to someone you love.
