“Is it necessary?” (Yes it is)
“I’ve never worked harder in my life” (Probably true)
“Is there a “There” there?” (Barring unforeseen circumstances, of course…)

The word “career” means “to veer wildly”; and sometimes, in our times, it does.
Career management, more than anything requires a control of the personal chaos we often feel— from overly hopeful hope (often dashed in the rejection after the interview) to that insidious sense of self-disregard (REMEMBER: keep thinking positively! There are moments when CBT is extraordinarily useful).
The central transition is not in letting go, but in holding firm to self-worth and capability. As compass points, these are what see us through difficult transitions.
