careers : market your sorrows - at your own peril.....!!

have you tried marketing your sorrows, more so, when you scout for a change in job?

what is meant by marketing sorrows - its to put personal issues and problems, however be genuine they, in the forefront of any professional discussion that leads to finding another job.

it might suit in a sense to get into a role, by speaking about how some decisions were taken with personal considerations in mind, and they will be well justified too.

the prospective employer will be considerate enough to factor that into his hiring decision, and it may suit both ends at that point in time...

however, the personal disclosures, made in all earnesty, will be well exploited later at every possible work moment, leading to the professional stature or perception of competencies being colored....  which will be forever detrimental in the professional eco-system for the individual.

so, never put on the table your personal issues, only position and bargain on the basis of your professional credentials and track record.
