Stories with Happy Endings

Stories with Happy Endings I love hearing stories with happy endings.   Dont we all?   They warm the heart, give us renewed faith in the niceness of humankind.   They make ME smile! I was grinning big time when I opened my email from LinkedIn with the catchy subject line Hannah, 117 connections changed jobs so far.   (And writing catchy subject lines is a whole post by itself!) Heres what I saw when I opened that positive, personal email from LinkedIn: Im not a dope. I realize that all these connections may not have secured new jobs, just merely changed their titles.   Thats fine.   However, I am pretty sure many did get jobs!   This is good news! This is a super opportunity to reach out, congratulate them or just say hi! Another important point is that this isnt the END of a job search story.   It may be the end for this particular search, but we all know that we should be looking for our next great gig all the time. If you havent received a happy email like this from LinkedIn, never fear.   You may.   But more than anything, let this be a reminder that you can, at any time, reach out to your LinkedIn connections and just say hi! Do you want to help me create a happy ending?   I am competing in a guest blogging contest on JobMob (in case you hadnt heard!).   Would you do me a favor and click on over   to this post?   10 Sure-fire Ways to Boost Your Job Search.       I could win money or prizes and if I do, well, that can help me do some things!   Thanks to those who have already supported me!   The contest ends on Monday, August 8th. Ill let you know what happens!
