And Im already gone And Im feelin strong Jack Tempchin and Robert Arnold Strandlund I was looking at my weekly LinkedIn updates (which I usually ignore) the other day and noticed that one of my former coworkers had a new profile (and a new job). So I got to thinking, where are all of my former coworkers these days? So I called a friend and we started going through the list and I was amazed at how many times she said no, he/she is already gone. Already gone? Doesnt sound good. To be fair, in many cases the individual had found a new job before they moved on, but there were a fair number of people who were already gone before they had a new job. So whether you are already gone by choice, looking to be gone soon or afraid you will be gone there is no better time than now to look for a job.
