K4D It's a Wonderful Life

25, SO2, Strongerthanthis,

Thank you. I am not sure if 2010 will be a better year in terms of the family, but I intend to make it a better year in terms of my career and life.

So I went and talked to this agency this morning. Apparently it is a fee based agency. I talked to the vp of recruiting and he said from looking at my resume they can easily get me 75k to 100k. I only make 55k right now. He said at my age, that is minimum wage in the corporate world. It got me to thinking that he is right about that. They want $5,700. He said they deal with executives in companies and have 100% rate of finding people jobs. He said they don't take candidates unless they know for a fact that they can place them. He said they have 7 complaints listed on the BBB in 4 years and 3 of them were candidates that they turned down. He said I need to get my career going now because I don't want to be 40 and still where I am.

It is a big chunk of money up front. But if it guarantess the jump in pay, it will be worth it. I guess the difference is they have contacts with executives in high places and I don't. It would also be an 18 month contract.

So it left me thinking about a few things.
