Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

What must I do to get a job and employment?
and received a response of:
28 Great Excess
The Statement of the first hexagram
The ridgepole sags.
Gain by having a place to go.
Continue.
The changing lines
The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.
An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.
The fifth line:
Withered wood blooms with flowers.
An old woman takes a husband.
Neither fault nor praise.
62 Small Crossing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.
Small matters can be done,
but not large matters.
Flying birds leave their sound:
it is unsuitable to go high-
the suitable is below.
Great fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
