Career choices

[dancing flame]

Hi,

I'd appreciate some insight into these readings around my career.

I have the possibility of taking two different paths in my career. One is working freelance on contract to support myself while I set up my business. The other is focusing exclusively on the business but having little money.

I asked Yi:

1. What about looking for freelance work? I got 39.3.6>20
2. What about focusing exclusively on my business idea? I got 11.6>26

Both seem to be showing struggle and difficulty with an opening up of things later.

I'm sending my CV/Resume on spec to a company for some freelance work. Firstly I asked:

3. What will be the outcome of sending my CV/Resume to this company? I received 40 unchanging.
4. Then I asked how will my CV/Resume be received by this company? I got 2.1.4>51

Sounds positive but I'm not sure if its speaking about the general outlook of things around me or specifically about the work.

Things are very challenging on the work and finances front at the moment so I decided to take on some temporary casual work while I looked for a freelance contract. I started a job, worked 4 days over a 2 week period then it all dried up. Then I got turned down for another casual job that I could have done with my eyes closed. I don't understand why there seems to be so many obstacles in my way so I asked Yi:

Why the difficulty with the temporary work? I got 34.6>14

Future outlook sounds positive but I'm still not sure exactly what it means.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

1. What about looking for freelance work? I got 39.3.6>20

This suggests that you do indeed try and find freelance work as the last line speaks about going out and looking for work, this says yes.

2. What about focusing exclusively on my business idea? I got 11.6>26

No, this is certainly not a good idea, you could well end up in real trouble, so you need to go out and find alternative work to do.

3. What will be the outcome of sending my CV/Resume to this company? I received 40 unchanging.

Send it as the outcome looks good.

4. Then I asked how will my CV/Resume be received by this company? I got 2.1.4>51

It suggests that you check your CV very carefully for any mistakes that you may have made in it, I think the idea is to not overstate your abilities then the company will be that much more favourable toward you.

Thanks Willowfox, it makes sense to me and I'm looking forward to having some money in the bank after a while of struggle. Off to take some action now and get that CV sent off.
Bye!
