		<description>Speaking of standards...I must say it is also relative and person-specific. Just an example...Making career choices as &quot;what colour...&quot; suggests between &quot;drive&quot; and &quot;assets&quot; complicate things. I tend for example to have a drive for industry A and its people (say public organizations) but my skills to fit better in industry B. Choices about picky standards can be relative too. What do you think on this issue?</description>

		<description>Hi Nick:

I follow the principles of the post, but there&#039;s a point where you can&#039;t wait no more and you take whatever comes. 
Now I feel terrible because, I went for the job I wanted, went trough the first round of interviews until the end, final round and it was between me and other bloke. Unfortunately I lost. 
After that I felt terrible, I starting going through interviews without feeling anything for the positions. The time passed and the need for money drew me to take the first offer. I signed my contract and even though the job is not my dream job, the people, the money, and the environment are really attractive. Suddenly out of nothing it comes to my knowledge that the dream position is available again, and I&#039;ve been asked if I want to take it. 
In my mind I am saying &quot;YES&quot; but the commitment I already have with the other company and my personal values are much stronger.

I am just wondering if I made the right decision by letting this dream job go away and stick to the contract I signed...</description>

		<description>Nice post.

It&#039;s hard to be picky, though.  Especially when you&#039;re feeling desperate, when you need to have work or else.  

Any advice here?</description>
