Unemployment by Barbara Wulf, MS, CPCC - Dec, 2009 It is just days before yearend. For many, it’s been a stressful 4th quarter for our life/work portfolio. Financially and emotionally, the job forecast is looking dim and we await good news about the economy making a comeback. Our investments are still in the basement and many of us are lucky to be working or surviving on unemployment. One day you are working and the next day, you are being escorted to your car. There’s no... |

Nine Tips for Mastering Email Overload for Busy Executives by Andy Robinson - Dec, 2009 Before email, SENDERS shouldered the burden of mail. Writing, stamping, and mailing a letter was a lot of work. Email bludgeoned that system in no time. Now the RECEIVER shoulders the burden of filtering, reading and responding to the endless stream of emails we receive on a day-to-day basis. Taming email means training the senders to put the burden of quality back on themselves. What's the best way to train everyone ... |

You Had Me...and Then You Totally Lost Me by Louise Fletcher - Dec, 2009 I’m watching 60 Minutes and they have on a really moving piece about a small town in Ohio, and they interview this guy who’s probably in his late 40s/early 50s and he’s explaining how he used to have a great job managing a hundred people, but then his company shut down and he can’t find work. There’s a video of him as a senior executive a year ago, and then they show him now, and he’s not clean shaven and he looks older and ti... |

Is Your Insanity Driving You Crazy? by Kris Plantrich - Dec, 2009 Try Something New to Take the Insanity out of Your Job Search I’ve gone to the same mall area shopping for Christmas presents three times in the last couple of weeks. Each time I have gone, I come home less and less satisfied with the amount of purchases I made. I just can’t seem to find what I am looking for at the stores available in that location. With just a week left until Christmas and with more than a few presents le... |

Match(.com) Your Way To A New Job! by Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter - Dec, 2009 FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER First impressions matter in dating and job search. I know this all too well as I have moved through dozens of first-date impressions during the seven years following my divorce and before I remarried in 2008. My husband, Rob, and I met online via Match.com. Besides the first-impression story he wrote in his profile that resonated with my personal needs and priorities for a great mate and life-long ... |

Sometimes A Job Badly Done Is The Job Description's Fault by Gary Cohen - Dec, 2009 Don't blame the poor employee. Usually when employees fail to fulfill the expectations their job descriptions raise, their superiors work with them to improve their performance. If that fails, they are sent packing. Such firings--and all the hurt feelings, wasted time and tried patience that accompany them--aren't always avoidable, but leaders shouldn't overlook the part the job description can play. Sometimes it's the job ... |

Are You Doing All You Can? by Harry Urschel - Dec, 2009 Many people are struggling through a tough job search these days and it’s not likely to get dramatically easier very soon. So as the days, weeks, and months drag on without an offer in hand, I’ve got a tough question to ask you...be honest with yourself... Are you doing all you can? I teach an 8-week course in job transition skills. Each week everyone gives updates on what they did that week. However, as much as each of ... |

It’s Been A While! by Harry Urschel - Dec, 2009 I recently received an email from someone who’s been reading my blog and is looking for advice on his situation. He’s currently been out of work for nearly 3 years. Certainly his predicament isn’t unique, so I thought it would be helpful to discuss it here. His email stated (edited for brevity): "I had a question about something I didn't see addressed on your blog… A (Current) Employment Gap. I've managed to have a pr... |

Want to Find a Job? Pull a Susan Boyle. by Louise Fletcher - Dec, 2009 Earlier this year, Susan Boyle became famous for being able to sing well even though she was neither young nor pretty (apparently we find this surprising!). Simon Cowell rolled his eyes when she first walked on stage to sing on his TV talent show The X-Factor, although he soon warmed to her when she began to sing. A few months later, he was in the US filming the US version of his talent show, American Idol. As the season ad... |

Two Ways to Convince Employers to Hire You by Kevin Donlin - Dec, 2009 I got a considerable amount of feedback on one of my articles recently, which exhorted job seekers to ask the following question every time they learn of someone who got hired: How can I adapt what they did to my situation? The example I used was this: If a sales rep got hired after bringing sales leads to a job interview, what could you bring to an interview to convince employers to hire you? One reader, Mitch in Minnea... |
