Getting a job

[gamer]

Background: I have been looking for a job for quite a while, with no results yet.


Hexagram 27.4 -> 21


Sounds good, what do you say?

What was the exact question you asked?

 

[gamer]

How are the opportunities for me getting a job now?

I think it shows you are very eager to get a job and are looking around hungrily. The Wilhelm translation also talks about searching for people to help you achieve your aim. Maybe it is telling you to look for recruitment agencies or ask friends / family for help.

This was only true at the moment of the casting, because the situation is more complex. I have doubts about having my first job, I am sort of scared.

Thank you, this is useful.

If you are scared, maybe some sort of career advisor could be the sort of person the line is hinting at - someone who could help you make sense of your skills and help you understand what job would be most suitable for you.

Dear gamer,

I think that even though your question was about opportunities out there your reading is basically about you. With 27.4 you still have to find some balance while pursuing what you want. The line describes someone who is a "hungry tiger", as you are eager to get a job but on the other hand the same hunger is affecting you, as you know already when you say that you feel scared. The Yi is saying that there is nothing wrong with that, it is all part of this moment in your life. But you have to deal with that, find your balance, seek people who can help you and bite through your fears and doubts to get there.

Take care :bows:
