Well, it happened again. Each time I drive by our local gas station the price of gas has gone up-again…and again…and again. But why? Greed? Economics? Because they can? Who’s to say?

One thing we do know is that we can predict the change. Gas prices or whatever are-and will likely be-constantly changing.

Let’s unpack this in light of the job search. You’re applying for a position that you know is the prefect match for your experience and goals for the future. But, unbeknownst to you, the employer’s needs (and the position) have changed part way through the process-and they didn’t even tell you! Now what? The job you are in the process for applying for could be totally different from what the employer actually is going to hire for.

If you have spent time researching the company, discovering their line of work, and becoming familiar with their industry, you may be able to navigate around this roadblock. Being armed with this information with help you to flex with the employers needs. In this case, as the employer redefines the position, it may end up being even a better fit for you! Once you have this fit, you’ll be able to attack your career with passion and look forward to Monday morning!
