Relationship Basics by Nan S. Russell - May, 2011 Since she'd been referred by a good client, I rearranged my schedule to accommodate a phone meeting for what she described as a "pressing decision" about a potential business endeavor I had experience with.

The garden and the network by Dawn Bugni - May, 2011 I worked in the yard this past weekend. Truth be told, a well-manicured lawn and perfect landscaping hasn’t been a priority for many years. Combine five dogs and two growing businesses (up until 2009) with country living and no homeowners association to tell me weed whack and it got a little shaggy around the edges. I’ve learned; if you don’t’ get in control early in spring; forget it. The weeds win. This year, I found a ne... |

Curious about this phenomenon, I surveyed my fine resume-writing, coaching, and careers industry colleagues at Career Directors International on the subject of inappropriate LinkedIn photographs.

Greetings by Emily Chardac - Apr, 2011 Have you ever thought about how you are greeting your colleagues? Probably – you say good morning to everyone as you bustle into your office or cube.
