Why I Didn’t Get a Job

Posted by Amir Lehrer


To get a good job, you have to put in the effort

When we decided that we wanted to move, I started looking for jobs in different cities and we would move to the city that gave us the best offer.  What I found was that I wasn’t putting as much effort into job search as I should have if I wanted to get a job.  I was sending out resumes but not really following up as well as I should have.  I was updating my profiles on all the job sites but not actively participating in the communities.  Something was holding me back.  It took me some time but I realized that I was holding back because I didn’t want to get a job.

Starting a business

I have been talking and thinking about starting my own business for a while and this is the perfect opportunity.  If I get a new job in a new city I will be starting the cycle all over again.  Work extra hard to prove myself, learn the new systems and the business culture.  It will be at least a year before I can relax a little and create some free time to work on my side projects.  It will be a step backwards toward my goals and I’m not willing to take that step backward.

Have you ever been in a similar situation where you didn’t put in the full effort because you really didn’t want it?
