Where You Stand
I need a job badly
I just graduated from school
I am in between jobs
I worry about losing my job
I worry that I might be lay-off soon
I need change my job internally or externally
I am tired of doing the same job over and over again
I do not get along with my boss or my colleagues
I like doing my job but
I deserve a promotion
I deserve more compensation
I am a happy camper
I like to continue what I am doing today, I enjoy it very
much.
