Read the full article here and see what you can come up with.

Don’t dwell about losing a job you loved, it’s important to realise that something better can come along.
What’s one positive outcome of the recession? It’s leading people to consider a career change. Though the process of figuring out what to do next can be overwhelming, it’s also empowering. Taking stock of one’s skills, strengths, interests and experience makes an individual realisee how much he or she knows and has to offer. Investigating career options also helps employed professionals extricate themselves from dead-end jobs. For people who are unemployed, a layoff can be the catalyst for pursuing a professional dream.

Josh our Rockstar winner is in Paris as we speak – Jealous? I am! Check out his blog below.
I arrived into Paris just after 9pm really really tired. My private driver (that’s right!) didn’t understand a word of English but I managed to communicate to him who I was and where we were going. After 30 hours and 30 mins travelling I finally arrived around 11pm at Hotel Kyriad. I unpacked, had a bath and went to bed.
