Everyday I see countless negative blog and article comments from readers who attack the advice provided by career coaches, experts, guru’s, hacks, know it all’s or whatever you want to call us.
Everyone has a different complaint and a different reason why they know more than the ‘expert,’ yet they’re the one complaining about their unhappiness and their dead end job, meanwhile the expert conquered their career and now presents his/her advice for free to those who are willing to listen.
Despite my sarcastic tone, I truly understand and sympathize with the place that these commenters are coming from.
Many of them feel like they’ve followed the rules and did everything by the book that’s supposed to guarantee them a good job, and then at one or more points in their life they had the rug pulled from underneath them.
