I am excited to share with you a site I have been researching and have found to be a comprehensive and worthwhile source for executive job seekers. Many of you have probably heard of it already, but I found during my research, just how much more they offer.

Monday’s PMA
Refreshed after a long, fun weekend I am hoping job seekers will jump back on the band wagon and recommit to working daily on their job search. If what you are doing isn’t working…change what you are doing.
Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. [...]

Wednesday’s Q&A
Client Question: I send out many resumes and never hear anything back. Should I do some kind of follow up?
Answer: Absolutely! Following up on resumes sent, like sending thank you notes, is an underutilized opportunity to get back in front of employers. Since it takes a little more effort, it is a secret weapon [...]

This weekend and even this morning catching up with friends on Twitter, the topic of conversation varied but all focused on change.

Wednesday’s Q&A
Question: Should a resume be one page or two?
Answer: It depends….its true! The so called rule of all resumes must be one page just isn’t true. With people changing jobs more frequently and achieving more goals, a resume should sometimes be two pages. I usually tell clients, if your background warrants a two page [...]

Monday’s PMA
My kids think they invented abbreviations with Facebook and texting but they don’t realize we had acronyms long before they were around. A few of my favorites are P of A, PPP and the name of Monday’s blog, PMA. My kids know these because I often use them in our home. A few definitions…

A discussion I’ve had more than once lately with my clients and have seen recently in forum discussions, on the news and even on twitter is, “what to do when employers tell you you’re overqualified”. You’ve worked your entire career to be known as an expert and now when looking for a new position this [...]

Being laid off or out of work is definitely very stressful. Those working hard to find work can spend 30, 40 or more hours a week networking, researching, making calls, interviewing and more. While that is necessary and energy well spent, don’t forget to take time to enjoy yourself. Even if you are still working [...]

I received some help today from a colleague today regarding my blog and twitter (still a little new to all the gadgets available to both). During our conversation I was able to reciprocate and share a little wisdom of my own. Both of us gained valuable information and were able to help someone else. Usually [...]
