As a professional career consultant, I work with many clients who haven't been able to reach their career goals, not because of the economy, but because they can't get past their own excuses.

Despite the dim reality of the current economy, people are still being hired every day. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "from December 2010 to January 2011, the number of unemployed decreased 600,000 over the month, and fell by almost 1 million from January 2010 to January 2011."
