Are You Willing To Work For Less?

Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forward. Taking less money in order to be employed may feel like that. However in an effort to have an income in this economy, taking less money may be your only option. How important is money to you in this crazy economy? I know you may think that is a dumb question. Money is everything of course! But is it?

What’s more important to you these days, working or money? If you had a guaranteed job opportunity that offered less money, would you take it? My recommendation is that you consider taking it.

I actually believe that it is easier to get a job when you have a job. I also believe that when money is an issue, when your bills are stacking up, and you start avoiding your phone, you might want to consider taking a job that pays less in order to get back out there. And you will find you that job opportunities seem to come out of no where when you actually have a job.

With the number of people in the market for a job, the competition is steep at every level. This may sound silly, but those people working in your local fast food joint might have to worry about their job if they continue to offer poor service. Money is not just important to employees. Money is important to businesses. And workers unwilling to take care of the customers who spend money, may find them self out of a job. There are people who are willing to work for less, and who will take care of the customers.

Tonight, one of my clients accepted a job because they needed the money. I understand that need. She will be working for less money, and she will be doing a job that I know she doesn’t want to work, but she needed to work. IF you need to work, consider what you can do and see if you can’t get a job doing something! Work is work. And if you need to work, consider the possibilities – fill out an application and go get a job!
