5 Points To Check for Choosing a Resume Writing Service

You need to be very cautious when selecting a resume writing service as anybody can put up a sign that they write resumes. In fact 1 company that secretly positions itself “#1” really sends the resumes abroad to be produced and produces very awful broken English resumes. Other companies providing resume help deliver nothing more than a prettier format of what you have. So here’s how the indus… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – When Discouraged Job Seekers Head Down the Wrong Path

What happens when job seekers apply to hundreds of jobs that list their qualifications only to receive no response other than automated email replies? And how about when they finally get an interview for a job they think they’re overqualified for but others are selected as “more qualified”. Some feel hopeless and question the professionalism and motives of potential employers. What now? I believe there are 2 directions discouraged job seekers go from here and only one leads to success. And espe… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – When Pride Gets in the Way of a Career

If you’ve read my previous blogs, you might recall that I’m a long-time Denver Broncos fan and have been on the fence over whether or not to switch teams after 20+ years. This hit home last night when I considered wearing my Broncos jersey to my son’s baseball game (his new team name is the Broncos with the identical mascot). I regret to admit I decided not to wear it in case we ended up at a sports bar for dinner after the game. With the… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – When Laughter is Good Medicine

I started to write a blog with some job tips this week and never could finish it. For what it’s worth, I’ll do my best to share some valuable career tips when I get back from vacation. In the meantime, I thought I’d share what I’ve learned personally this week in case it has any value to others. A lot has changed in the past 5 months since I planned my 1st big vacation in 8 years. For me, a big vacation = all-inclusive with no planning meals, cooking, cleaning, etc. When my husband agreed on ou… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – Back to Basics

In my excitement over the increasing number of online tools, tips and resources available at my fingertips, I sometimes fall into the trap of information overload. I believe information is power and multi-tasking is a way of life for most of us, but I have to be careful not to… Continue

Old dogs...new tricks

I never cease to be amazed at how easily my children assimilate to new environments, new technology and situations. For instance, my daughter recently moved out to live on campus...she is a college student living the full college experience...game days, sororities and dorms. She had already made dozens of friends from her same graduation year from all over the world - yes i said "world" before she stepped foot for the first time onto campus. Through the beauty of social networking via Faceboo… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – When Everyday Life Sets You Back

I think this can happen to all of us sometimes but it's important to not get discouraged and to stay on track with our goals. I guess you might say everyday life almost held me back from posting something this week. But since my personal goal is to post something on Wednesdays, I decided to go ahead and share what’s on my mind. First, I must say I’m thrilled about all the efforts I’ve seen lately of so many reaching out to help each other ( e.g.… Continue

My Turn Day http://myturnday.com/home/

Going off topic today to talk about something I've been hearing about on the radio that I think is a really cool idea. I listen to Kidd Kraddick on my drive into work everyday. It is a light-hearted and entertaining show that makes the time spent in traffic bearable. The past couple of weeks, Kidd has been talking about My Turn Day. When I first heard it, I thought it was along the lines of a "taking care of yourself" type thing. However, upon hearing more, I realized it was the complete oppos… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays - Moving Past the January Blahs

Like many others I’ve talked to, I admit I was hit this year by the January blahs. It wasn't just the typical cold weather, holiday bills, tax season, etc. this year. For me it was more a response to daily news on the economy, disappointment in politics as usual in Washington and seeing so many people I know struggle during tough times. Now that it’s February, I have no excuse not to shake this off. So what now? Personally, I need to take myself less seriously and ask a few questions. What have… Continue

25 Things...

Social networking is new to me...as those of you who read my first blog know. (btw-thank you for the kind & welcoming comments :)) I am still learning my way around the various sites and slowly figuring out how they work & how I can use each to the best benefit. One thing I did not expect was how they would help me in getting to know my co-workers better...which I guess I should have known, since they ARE social networking sites, but still it was an unxpected bonus for me. I work in a… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays - When You Lose Your Balance

How do you define being “balanced?” I get different answers when I ask this question. Are your initial thoughts about your checkbook, your career, your personal life or all of the above? Have you lost your balance or do you think you’re balanced when others suggest you’re not?… Continue

My First Blog...and a 2nd Look at Recruiting

Hello all. This is my very first foray into the fine art of blogging. Someone told me to talk about what I know...so this is what I know. Maybe some of you will find it of interest...maybe it will just be a case of me sharpening my pencil for future blogging adventures. A few months ago I transitioned into a new role within my company. I was uncertain and none too excited at the prospect; however having been in a position where I was deeply dissatisfied with my existing position, grateful for t… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – When You’re Ready to Give Up on a Job Search

In this tough economic climate, recession - whatever you want to call it, I think it’s safe to say most of us have been affected in some way by the job market. Unless you live in one of the Dakotas, I would guess that you may know someone looking for a job, someone who SHOULD BE looking… Continue

It's a NEW Year!.........or is it?

Happy New Year to all...... but unfortunately to some, it is not the case at the present moment. Why you ask? Well, for starters, some are living in and repeating their past, which in turn is their present, thus their future. Sadly life is like a revolving door to these folks. It's not a n… Continue

WHAT NOW? Wednesdays – When Resolutions Stop Working for You

I may be the oddball here, but I have never been all that interested in New Year’s resolutions. When I remember to set them, I usually forget them by Spring. Maybe this has something to do with all the media hype around weight loss and self-improvement that typically slows down a… Continue
