If job frustrations are making you take a deep, cleansing breath, you are practicing the art of mindfulness.

Mindfulness is a stress management tool that is being applied in workplaces around the world. It's a practice of living in the moment while stopping the flood of thoughts and worries that bombard a lot of us every day.

It’s become a cliché to hate your job.

Actually, that’s not necessarily true. Recent poll numbers suggest attitudes toward work have shifted:

• In 2010, a Deloitte survey showed 80 percent of Americans hated their jobs.
• In 2013, a national Gallup poll reported that unhappy employees outnumbered happy by a 2-to1 margin.
• By 2016, a Pew statistic revealed a startling finding: only 49 percent of Americans said they are happy with their job.

If you’re a job seeker you are a hot commodity in the U.S. these days. That’s big news for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who may feel tied to a job that sucks their soul right out of their body.

When you're trying to land your dream job, one of the toughest tasks you face is convincing the employer's Hiring Manager that you're the right person for it. For Hiring Managers, the stakes are higher than ever, with more people searching for employment, fewer available positions, and a limited hiring budget, these individuals must make every job placement count.
