Debrief After Your Interview by Ford R. Myers - Jul, 2010 There is rarely, if ever, a time when you will be hired following just one interview.

You Don't Need An Expert by Nan S. Russell - Jul, 2010 You don't need an employee engagement expert to confirm what you already know and Gallup polling substantiates: the majority of employees are disengaged at work. You don't need an employee survey to tell you why discretionary efforts are tamed, passions for work are fleeting, and ideas are tethered. And you don't need a consultant to explain why cynicism is up, enthusiasm is down, and trust is the new workplace currency. Al... |

How to network when you hate to network by Elizabeth Freedman - Jul, 2010 We all hear about how important networking is for our careers, but many of us simply don’t do it. In fact, some of us hate the practice, and would rather eat an entire copy of my book, Work 101: Learning the Ropes of the Workplace without Hanging Yourself, (sorry, shameless plug) than network, even if it meant we’d wind up in better jobs with better opportunities as a result. Does this make any sense to you? It’s time to gr... |

What to do when offers for help don’t pan out by Elizabeth Freedman - Jul, 2010 First, let’s accept a little fact about people: They lie. All the time. So, when Mr. Smith is offering to forward your resume to his contacts, he might be sincere and really mean it. Or, he might have a problem with saying no, might be afraid to disappoint you, so he offers to help, even though he has no intention of doing so. Or, Mr. Smith may have had the best of intentions, but he got slammed with a project at work, or his ... |

Giving Feedback To Gen Y Employees by David Lee - Jul, 2010 "Giving Gen Y Employees Corrective Feedback: What Can Video Games Teach You?" One of the biggest complaints I hear from managers about their Gen Y employees is how defensive they get when given corrective feedback. You can dramatically increase how receptive your Gen Y employees are to feedback if you borrow from the world of video games. In video games, feedback is an essential part of the game. It’s how you know you... |

What Would Bill Clinton Do? by Suzanne Bates - Jul, 2010 I’ve never met Bill Clinton but many of my friends have, and all say the same thing about him. He’s so...in the moment. When he shakes your hand he focuses on you like you’re the most important person in the world. For that fleeting moment – 30 seconds or a minute- you believe you’re his nhew BFF. Even if you’re a Republican. That got me wondering – what would Bill Clinton do if his cell phone rang while he was locked i... |

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... |
