With excitement and anticipation last night I watched Sunday Night Football. The pre-season game gave the new players a chance to show what they’ve got and their contribution potential, in short… their value.
It wasn’t an unforgettable game but it was just fun to watch. Usually at half time I switch loads of laundry, check emails, [...]

“I just want a job” or “I’ll take anything” are comments I hear very often as I am working with clients. I also heard this from almost every job seeker I spoke with at a recent job fair I helped out with. Although many job seekers feel this way it is vital not to say [...]

If you’ve been working daily really hard on your career search and you are feeling a bit burned out, take a few days or week and don’t search at all. Instead of another week of contacts, researching companies and career opportunities, attending networking events, following up on resume submissions and interviews, take a break [...]

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…
