Don’t assume too much during your job search by Miriam Salpeter - Jul, 2012 How much are you assuming people already know or understand about you? A radio ad gives a good reminder about how important it is to make yourself clear! There used to be a radio advertisement running on one of the stations I listen to regularly. It’s an ad for “the beaches of South Walton” and hopes to inspire listeners to vacation there. The problem is, the ad’s writers assumed a lot about the audience when they created ... |

Painless ways to control your online reputation by Miriam Salpeter - Jul, 2012 Many job-seekers underestimate how important it is to have an online presence—a digital footprint to help convince potential hiring managers that they are right for the job.

10 Leadership Interview Questions by Rosa Elizabeth Vargas - Jul, 2012 As you get ready for your interview try to focus on what it is the employer needs solved. Why do they need this position filled?

Are You Pinteresting? by Debra Wheatman - Jul, 2012 Are you active on Pinterest, yet? If not, you may be missing a valuable way to enhance your career and have fun in the process. Pinterest.com is a virtual bulletin board where members pin graphics that they’ve virtually “torn” from various websites. Think of it as an old-fashioned idea book or collage of favorite things. The site itself has done a terrific job of explaining how to get started, so I won’t waste space here ... |

These are young (and sometimes not-so-young) people who didn't have time for beer pong and sun bathing on the quad. They drove rusted o... |
