If we were to stop and ask ourselves how our lives might be improved, one likely answer that might occur to us is that we should spend less time at work. At least that is what the statistics suggest. According to the OECD better life index, for example, the English-speaking countries – Australia, New Zealand, UK and US – all perform badly when it comes to ‘work-life balance’ (they are all in the bottom third), though they all do quite well in the overall rankings (all in the top half). The work-life balance score is calculated on the basis of ‘time devoted to leisure and personal care’ and ‘employees working very long hours’. So, if you live in one of these countries, and are an average member of it, a major drag in your quality of life will be lack of time for leisure and personal care and too much time at work.

I can say for myself that now it is quite difficult to find a decent job. It is quite a rarity. I, for example, hardly found one, and they wouldn't have taken me on if I hadn't brought my best resume. Now it decides a lot, and if you know that your resume is not perfect, it's better to go here https://resumeedge.com/resume-editing . They do great resumes here. I'm glad I found them, the people are real pros.
