Dear Velvet,

My new job seemed like the perfect opportunity when I accepted it, but I find that I'm not happy with it.  I've been in this new job for 4 months.  Do you see this getting better or should I look elsewhere for a job?

Thanks for the reading ~ it was fun to be a winner!!

Dear Green Light,

The World Series card is definitely one of opportunity for you.  You have come this far, and according to this card . . . you have potential to go even further in this job!  At this time, you are actually in the process of reaching a summit of personal and professional achievement.  Green Light, you thought this job could be a great opportunity . . . and it still can be!  You are encouraged by the presence of this card to press onward in this position, and don't lose your self-assurance and determination.

Take a second look at what you feel is making you unhappy in this job.  Is it because you still feel like a "rookie" among others who appear to be "star players?"  Everyone begins as a rookie, but through experience, you become more valuable and continue to gain the knowledge and confidence that you need in your chosen field of endeavors.

According to the World Series card, Green Light, you may be presented with promotional opportunities with this employer . . . and along with that comes some desirable pay increases.  The advice from your card is to hang in there, because if you will give this more of a chance with a little more enthusiasm, things will indeed get better for you.  In fact, if you turn away from this job now, you'll likely feel that you missed a big and important chance.  Don't let that get away from you!  It seems this job is very important for you, so give it time to see how you really can make accomplishments and feel good about it :-)

Good luck to you!
