Look to Music LyricsSeeking Job Search Inspiration Look to Music LyricsI was listening to my iPod the other day when this thought crossed my mind There must be some songs whose lyrics could inspire job seekers. Now, my music tastes go back to the 60s, 70s, and 80s, so they may not be familiar to everyone. But here are four notable songs from that broad era with a key line from each, and the job-search lessons they teachYou Cant Always Get What You Want (The Rolling Stones - 1969)LINE but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.LESSON You really wanted that jobor a shot at that jobbut it wasnt meant to be, and you had to settle for something else. What you thought you wanted may turn out to be different from what you really needed. (This can also apply to salary.)Dirty Work (Steely Dan - 1972)LINE Im a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah. I dont wanna do your dirty work, no more LE SSON Kind of synonymous with Johnny Paychecks Take This Job and Shove It, eh? But just a little less blunt. The homilie?

Yet you know things will turn out fine if you keep your head up and trust that your next job i s just waiting down the road.
