The Causey Consulting Podcast

Job hunting right now stinks. I get it. For that matter, responding to RFPs and placing bids as a freelancer is no walk in the park either. If you are speaking to a prospective client or a potential employer and the interview process is: weird, rude, disorganized, combative, protracted, overwhelming, etc., can you expect this behavior to improve if you accept the job or the project?

In my experience over the years: no!

You can buy anyone. Whatever the narrative the corporate overlords want to push, they will push.

In May of 2023, I published a podcast episode to warn that I felt we were moving out of the Opening Act into Act 1 of this economic nightmare. I believe the November election will usher in Act 2. What exactly will this look like? I dunno. Quite frankly the information I'm hearing is not good.

Once you've done all that you can, what's the point in panicking or getting super pessimistic? Anything we accomplish starts with a thought. If we get into a negative thought loop and we expect disaster all the time, guess what? That's what we'll get.

With layoffs and a less than stellar economy, prospective employers expect candidates to go through longer and more frustrating hiring processes. Likewise, some clients will expect freelancers to jump through hoops to gain a project. So what to do? Should you go along with this? If so, how far?

When you work 1099, providing a notice on either side is typically not necessary. However, let's be honest: it stinks when someone abruptly cancels a contract and leaves you high and dry.  So what to do with flaky, disappearing act clients?

I recently watched the documentary Money for Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve. Depressing? Yes. Surprising? Not really. We hear all sorts of outrageous claims from the fat cats who claim they want to protect us.

Y.O.Y.O. - aka: you're on your own

If you still have your head in the clouds that there will be some miracle, some Hail Mary Pass that will save the economy - or maybe some amazing, honest, decent politician will be elected in November and that person will save the day: you better get real clear, real fast that Y.O.Y.O.
