Fairy Jobmother Offers Good Tips

I saw the Fairy Jobmother show for the first time last night. I was surfing the web and found it. It was really pretty good. It is about an Englishwoman who acts like a job or vocational coach who helps people find jobs.

The show last night was about a woman who had been a TV anchor, but for some reason had lost her job. I didn't see it from the beginning, so am not sure why she lost her job. She really loved that job, and it had served as her self identification for many years. After she lost her job, she lost her pizazz and self esteem.

The best thing the fairy jobmother did was give her some objective advice. She was trying to get the fire back inside the woman. She also helped her with introducing herself to the interviewers and with handling some of the tough interview questions. And when she really messed up in an interview, helped her get past it quickly.

After she had felt a little bit of success, you could see her get the light back in her eyes and the spring in her step. Sometimes that is all it takes--to get the fire back in you and the spring in your step.
