    Feeling stressed? I know I am.

    It's not just the holidays (which can be stressful on their own) but the fact that we are about to close out another year. Maybe a year where things haven't moved in the direction you were hoping.

    Over the weekend, I was cleaning out some junk (getting a jump on those resolutions) and found a card I'd been given years ago that said:

    Stressed spelled backward...Desserts

    Cute, right?

    But it got me thinking. Could I reverse my tense perspective and focus on the sweet and yummy parts?

    Since ZenSearch is completely free, we don't generate revenue which means like many of you, I'm living off savings. [Stressed]

    I love having a startup. Every day is exciting and challenging. I'm learning a ton. [Desserts]

    The job market is horrible. So many people are long-term unemployed. Despair is setting in. [Stressed]

    Building a tool that helps people when they're at a low point is incredibly rewarding. [Desserts]

    There is so much to do, with different priorities competing for my attention. [Stressed]

    There is so much we can do, and it's exciting when we release a requested feature or get a bunch of new users. [Desserts]

    You can turn Stressed into Desserts too!

    There is a lot of competition for every opening. [Stressed]

    You can use ZenSearch where the jobs are fresh and not overexposed. [Desserts]

    Other job search platforms inundate you with sponsored jobs, tired reposts, and jobs that aren't what you're looking for. [Stressed]

    Since ZenSearch ONLY shows jobs that match your preferences, EVERY JOB is what you're looking for, making them all great ones to apply to! Be as selective or flexible as you choose, it's your job seeking experience. [Desserts]

    So what will you choose— Stressed or Desserts?
