The White Collar Job-Search Wringer - Tarot Readers Are Getting Caught in that Force Field Too

"These days, three to four interview rounds are the norm [for White Collar job applicants] up from one or two in years past." - The Wall Street Journal, May 19, 2023.

This trend even has come to my line of work: Tarot reader. The usual had been a brief conversation about how we approach our art, then a 15-minute demonstration of how we actually do it. Currently, for a contract assignment I am expected to undergo three interviews. 

The first one seemed to go well. But the reality of multiple ones has gotten me nervous. Today at 3 PM ET I will again have to showcase my gift. Then back at it again on Tuesday at 6 PM ET. 

When I made the shift to psychic services from a White Collar career path I assumed that I had taken the exit ramp from the processes embedded in getting, holding, and moving on to better assignments for Professional Class gigs. My background is Blue Collar. I had always scorned all that corporatese. I preferred direct: Here I am and here is what I can do for you. That’s how I used to pick up work until I graduated from college and was eligible to join the White Collar.

Now I am slowly absorbing that the White Collar ethos might be seeping into more and more ways we earn our living. With it, as WSJ points, has come the employer angst about hiring the wrong person. Obviously the psychics in charge of hiring don't seem all that certain about making a quick psychic judgment about our Tarot readers' expertise.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
