Facing the Fear in Your Career Search by Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter - Jul, 2010 In what I envision at least a 2-part series on “Facing the Fear in Your Career Search,” my husband, Rob, starts us off with a riveting story on how our journey into a storm created one of our most memorable experiences this summer (perhaps ever). Likewise, in my nearly 13 years’ experience consulting with, coaching and strategizing career positioning messages for career transition-ers, I hear the fear over and over, and ove... |

Seven Key Aspects of a Professional BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY by Rob Taub - Jul, 2010 The dictionary definition of philosophy is “a set of principles, beliefs and aims, underlying somebody's practice or conduct”.

So, define what you consider important, and you can be on your way to uncovering your “best fit” job opportunities. ... |

The New Social Business Card: Poken Review by Joshua Waldman - Jul, 2010 Imagine you are at a job fair. You have 10 copies of your resume, and 50 business cards. You are ready to network! However, about half way through the aisles you begin to run out of materials. So you’re more selective about who you give your information to. Then you begin to wonder what those companies are actually going to do with your card or resume…will they be tossed away or lost in the pile of hundreds of other ones fr... |

What’s the Difference Between a Resume, CV and Bio? by Thomas J. Denham - Jul, 2010 When it comes to packaging and marketing your background, you have three main choices: 1) a resume, 2) a CV (curriculum vitae) or 3) a bio (career biography).

People Problems Afoot? Get the Words Out! Supervisors As Challenged Communicators by Dawn Lennon - Jul, 2010 “I’m speechless!” Ever said that? It usually pops out when we’re given unexpected praise or are caught unaware. Being “speechless” is a problem when we’re expected to say exactly the right thing when something important is on the line. Keep your foot in your shoe.

Jobseeker, Are You Interconnected & Plugged In? by Julie Walraven - Jul, 2010 Today I spent the day in the hospital waiting while my husband, Bill, had outpatient surgery. Since I am not good at waiting, I packed plenty of work, books, my phone, and my laptop to keep me company while I waited. Interconnected I certainly wasn’t alone. The easily accessible wifi connected me with my e-mail and my Facebook status let my network know where I was and what was going on. I talked to clients via e-mail, t... |

Keywords And Resumes: Don’t Miss The Point by Judi Perkins - Jul, 2010 Keywords. The very phrase is enough to freak job seekers out. “Does my resume have enough?” “Is there any such thing as too many?” “Should I change it for every ad?” Conventional wisdom says a resounding YES for the last question. Consequently, job seekers end up with multiple resumes. The average number is 4. This week I had someone come to me with 8. Absurd. (And they were all poorly done, too) Job seekers want to... |

Does Your Firm Suffer From OCD? by Stephanie Thomas, Ph.D. - Jul, 2010 Are you performing proactive statistical analyses of your employment decisions? If you don’t perform these analyses, is it because you are afraid of what those analyses might show? If so, your firm may suffer from Organizational OCD. You won’t find Organizational OCD in the DSM-IV, and it’s not an official medical diagnosis. But it’s a problem I see all too often. OCD is an anxiety disorder in which a person has an unreason... |

Two Old Ways to Find a New Job by Kevin Donlin - Jul, 2010 You think it’s tough to find a job now? It’s been tougher. Like in the Great Depression of the 1930s, for example. Try to imagine a world without Twitter or Facebook, when the unemployment rate ranged from 14.3% to 24.9% (1931 to 1938). Would you be interested in learning two ways to find that worked back then -- and still work now? Here they are... 1) Appeal to the self-interest of the employer In the boo... |
