Scrambled Eggs by Suzanne Bates - Nov, 2010 About a year ago I got tickets to a Paul McCartney concert for my husband’s birthday. It was amazing to see how, now well-past that mythical and unimaginable age 64, McCartney is ever-brilliant.

He liked it so much that he immediately played it through on the piano to ensure that h... |

Job Search Essentials: New Resume, New Suit, New Attitude? by Cathy Eng - Nov, 2010 When I was searching for my first corporate job, I was called a few days after an interview and told, "Thank you for coming in, however we’ve decided to offer the position to someone else." I politely thanked her and let her know I appreciated the interview and follow-up call. The next day, I received a call from the same person with a job offer.

Professional Resume Writer Declares Networking is Key by Paul Freiberger - Nov, 2010 Talk to a professional resume writer or a career counselor and they’ll tell you that you need a high quality resume. You expect that. But you might surprised when they tell you that networking is even more important than the resume. As an example, consider former President Clinton, certainly a man with a strong resume. But even more than that, throughout his life Bill Clinton was always a superb networker. Back in the d... |
