When I first took a teleseminar on blogging, one thing the instructor said was if you disappear from your blog for a while, don’t call attention to it. Start again like you posted yesterday. Sooooo, here I am calling attention to the fact it’s almost been two months since I’ve pontificated … to help make [...]

Working with Recruiters
If you’re a frequent visitor to this blog, you already know I’m an avid Twitter user. I view my Tweeps as important assets in my life and love the wealth of knowledge – interesting, unusual, helpful and odd – shared daily.

Seth Godin: "Don't Try to Get a Job???” I couldn’t agree more!
In the last of a month-long series of guest posts (including mine) on G. L. Hoffman’s What Would Dad Say? blog, Seth Godin closes out the month with some RADICAL job search advice: “Don’t Try to Get a Job.” Run over there, check it out (GREAT READ!!), then come back and find out why this [...]
Yes. Penmanship does count.
If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know I’m actively involved with Monty’s Home. One project I’m working on is to improve email communications by using an email marketing service.

Note to self …

After reading my colleague’s, Jennifer Anthony, recent blog post, Targeted Resumes: How to Target Your Resume to the Job You Want, it got me thinking. As resume writers, we tell our clients, you’ve got to focus your job search. You’ve got to have a target. You’ve got to know your audience. However, with all this [...]
Does your LinkedIn Profile make you standout?
Have I got a great article to share with you! Jason Alba, job search guru and JibberJobber founder, tweeted about it on Twitter earlier today. He’s mentioned in the article, hence the tweet.
This article is packed full of such useful information, I can’t add anything other than “do what the article says.” Here’s the link to [...]
A smile — Your best job search accessory for 2009
My goodness. Where did the day go? My intent this morning was to get one more blog post up before the end of this year – posterity thing, I suppose. I had all ideas I would tie a job search topic into something having to do with the New Year and new beginnings, etc., etc., [...]
Networking can’t be rushed.
Catching up on my reading last night, I came across Jason Alba’s, JibberJobber blog post about networking. His wisdom ties into my last post, so take a look at what he has to say, “Networking Sucks in the Job Search (aka, Why Networking isn’t Working.)”
Bottom line, networking, as Jason says, is NOT only handing out business [...]
