My Friend Mark I have a friend named Mark, who is a painter. Not an artist painter, Mark is the kind of painter who makes money. And he makes pretty good money. Mark can paint a room, two coats, start to finish in less than three hours. And the results may cause you to, in fact, call him an artist. Mark is also a scholar--he can answer most questions about history, wine, classic movies and music, and he is intensely funny and gregarious. He has a lovely wife and son, and lives in a great neighborhood. But Mark is going through tough times. He is in his late forties, and he feels that painting rooms isn't much of a legacy. He has the itch to do something important, something that will have him singing on his way to work Monday mornings. We all have heard of such stories and their successful outcomes, but what if the reason we've heard about them is because they are so rare? Switching careers is a fatiguing task which takes time and money. Few of us have such luxuries. I know that Mark doesn't. So what do we tell the Marks of the world? How do we help the people who are unhappy and not satisfied with their jobs? We can encourage the dreamer in them by suggesting they "go for it." Perhaps we should recommend they shake up their job a little, creating new interest for them. These are plausible options, but neither is the one I chose. I told Mark that he is doing what he needs to do to provide for his family. That his true happiness lies with the time he spends with his wife and son. That he has many friends who love and respect him. I told him to be grateful that he doesn't have to worry about feeding his family, that he is giving his son every opportunity to find what makes him happy. His wife loves him dearly as he does her. He nodded with every statement I made. Then I slapped him across the face and asked him, "Who do you know that is more blessed than you?" He shook my hand and went home to put ice on his cheek. He called me Monday morning on the way to work, he was singing. Next week: When Functional Resumes are Useful.

Alison Dubois has terrifying dreams that help her solve brutal crimes. While I love the show, I never watch it right before I go to sleep for fear I'll have my own nightmares. Alison's dreams don't always give her clear answers, but she fights for them in the DA's office, because someone's life depends on it. I haven't always stood up for my dreams as vigilantly as Alison… as if my life depended on it. How about you? Have you had THAT conversation with yourself? If you have, you know the one I'm referring to: "What am I doing with my life (doubt)? What else could I do (escapism)? I could just give this all up and move home (comfort zone). Is this ever going to happen for me (loss of faith)? Maybe I'm not as talented as I think I am (judgment). I'm not living up to my potential. I should be as successful as ___________ (comparing yourself to others). I could go on, but it's too painful. Listening to self-sabotage is as painful as Alison waking up with zombie bites. Doubting yourself, judging yourself, comparing yourself to others, wanting to escape to a comfort zone, and worst of all, losing your faith. It doesn't get more painful than that. Your dreams are your light. They're what give you your sparkle. Your dreams are your gift. And while it's easy for other people to try and crush your dreams, it's hard when you know that it's in fact, you, who is truly sabotaging them. So get all of the "dream crushers" out of your way. Make a list of all the people who have tried to crush your dreams by telling you you'd never make it, blackballing you, abandoning you, and anything/one you can blame for not being where you want to be. Good. Now that they're out of the way, what's left? Start with the obvious ones (if there are any) like: I don't follow up, I don't ask for help, I don't finish what I start. Once you have your obvious list, you can make a commitment to fight for your dream like you're fighting for your life. Because to sabotage your dream, is to not share your gift, and to not share your gift, isn't really living, is it? Recognizing and admitting that you're sabotaging yourself is terribly painful, but it's the only way to fight back and turn a potential nightmare into a dream come true.

I graduated from college in 2009, and have been applying to positions in TV production since then, via company website; however, I rarely hear anything back. I've been told by many people that "applying online is not the way to get a job", but if you do not know anyone at the company, how else are you supposed to do it? My connections from interning have only taken me so far, and now I am just frustrated and feeling hopeless. College career centers do not prepare students for this.Questions from our Readers Answered by Jessica Sitomer Applying online is the equivalent of a cold call. This is a small enough business that when a position opens up, the people who know someone are top of the list. Which means, if you are not hearing about jobs, you're either not living in a market where there is a lot of television production happening or you don't know the right people. And you are correct. Most college career centers do not prepare students for this because technically, what "this" is, is business school. You are out there being the CEO of company YOU and if you don't have the skills to network, sell, and market yourself properly, create a yearly business plan, strategize, and everything else that "business owners" do to generate work, then you will indeed feel hopeless. The good news is, once you have the business tools to generate work in the entertainment industry, not only do you feel empowered, you also have the edge over your competition, who are currently feeling as hopeless as you. As a 55-pluser I've experienced a big wall with my age. Broad experience, quantifiable performance success, great jobs at big national companies -- none get me through the door. The interview door. Forget the anti-ageism laws -- what are HR and the key hiring execs thinking? My friends in the 50-plus group are all experiencing the same response. Very little. What I see is, the hiring execs, mostly in their 30s and 40s, only want to hire those younger than they are, never older or more experienced. This is a huge problem. There are now millions of people with track records of success greater than those doing the hiring. Proven leadership skills. More force of personality. Greater willingness to foster team success. America is getting more grey by the day, and the need for income is not going away. But it is making a lot of unemployed 50-plus execs and workers at every level very poor. Any suggestions? I won't deny that ageism exists in our industry. I also won't buy into it. You know why? Because I've coached over 1,000 people one-on-one, and here's what I've learned:
