I laugh because I agree with you that it is unlikely to land a corporate position today that meets every single expectation that a prospective employee may have at any given time. However, as @Careerealism proselytizes, every job is temporary. On the other hand, the corporate me is forever. A new mindset needs to be established wherein every workerbee accepts that they have to take personal responsibility for their career and making their work life satisfying. Getting back to my giggles.......I started my consulting practice, JobWhiz, Executive Talent Agent, as a solution to satisfy my own list of what represented my own ideal career/job. It is truly my passion to help senior level executives establish connections to new career challenges that match their selection critieria. I created a job for myself and love assisting others to define their employment goal and then build each client a network to source the perfect job lead via personal introductions to the decision makers who need to know their potential value to an organization. Jason, if you are interested, I am volunteering to share my success. I am lucky enough to have created a job for myself that is so wonderful, I never feel like I am working!

Quickly. It's one of the reasons that when you go into a new job, you need to make an assessment of how long the job will last so you have a baseline to evaluate changes. Would love to see a summary of the 45-minute interview...
