Job Expectations Limits Job Opportunities

What you see may not be what you get. Seek realistic expectations. You see A but in actuality what you see is not A but B. You need to know what you seek is real

What you want just may not be what you get. You want to be a manager again. May not be possible, with your credentials

What you expect just may be the reason you have not got anything. Past wages paid might be wages to be no more

Job Preparedness is key for the job you want. Your expectations must match your capabilities, abilities, what is available, what offers expanded opportunities, etc. Have a Job vision, not a Job death wish.
