A Personal Concierge in a Recession?

During these tough economic times, one may wonder, “Why take on a personal concierge now?” There is one simple answer to this question, to free up your time for career related pursuits. Whether it be putting in more time at work to position yourself for a promotion, freeing yourself up to focus solely on your job search, freelancing, networking or even taking on a temporary position to supplement your income, people are more strapped for time now than ever.

According to www.careerbuilder.com, during an economic downturn, it is important to push forward in your career more so than any other time. By hiring a personal concierge, your time could be freed up for interviews, classes that may increase your skill set, freelance work that will supplement your income and/or provide you with networking opportunities. With your to-do list taken care of, you will have nothing to distract you from navigating through an economic crisis, and coming out ahead of your competition.

In an article on www.monster.com, Carol Vecchio, founder and executive director of Centerpoint Institute for Life and Career Renewal in Seattle suggests that “The most important thing when searching for a job in tough economic times is to retain a positive attitude.” My Concierge can provide you with peace of mind, so that you may have the necessary patience and persistence in your career pursuits.
