If you find yourself “under-employed” in a position that you are over-qualified for now or in your past, one of the questions you may be asked is how that situation came about. “Why are you working as a clerk when you are applying for a management position?” The worst possible scenario is to not have any explanation or answer to the inquiry. Thinking of your situation and how you feel about being in a lesser job is important to prepare before the interview.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Carole Martin

I have encountered many of life's "speed bumps" and lived enough life to know that sometimes you have to work hard just to keep on going. You have to put one foot in front of the other and keep on walking. I know that when you, or perhaps someone close to you, has lost a job, that is the time you need support from people who care.

My motto is, "Life's uncertain, eat dessert first." My attitude is, "It's never too late to make a change." (I achieved my first degree at age 40!)
