The way I start out my blog week, professional week, and personal week is with gratitude and a positive attitude. It can be hard to do and even takes practice and a lot of determination but it is worth it. It really helps direct my week and makes it much more productive.
Here’s what I know [...]

I am changing my thoughts and words for good! From now on when talking with clients, friends, myself (yes it’s true…on occasion) or my family I am going to refer to our current economic climate as a “Time of Opportunity”, not the harsh, crumbling, or failing economy which is how I usually refer to it.
What [...]

Continuing with my Content Calendar theme, today (actually yesterday) is Fun Friday where I write about anything. I’ll try and find some correlation to helping job seekers but some posts may just be random.
I pushed work aside for most of Friday to run up to my son’s college to start bringing his furniture, winter clothes [...]

If you want a place to go that is filled with positive, forward-moving individuals, get on Twitter. It takes a while to “get it” but along the way you’ll meet great people and be overwhelmed as I am with the positive interactions I read and have everyday.

Just came from Twitter, doing a quick check in before I start work on a new healthcare resume. It is a good way to de-stress the mind and …clear the pallet before starting on a new project, plus it’s fun.
I read a quote a follower of mine had put up as a tweet, it read, [...]

Today has been pretty slow – but Monday is often a quiet phone and new-client day with Tuesday usually making up for it. If I were a ½ empty kind of gal, I would be pretty bummed because I haven’t had one person seal-a-deal today. Thankfully, I am blessed with a ½ full glass and [...]

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 [...]

Remember that song? Man I loved Fleetwood Mac and that song was like an anthem as I was graduating from high school back in the early 80’s and getting ready to embrace the real world…whatever that meant.
Fast forward a few years (OK, maybe a few decades) and I realize I am sharing this same message [...]

We all struggle with confidence in one area or another. I still tend to be more reserved than I’d like to be in my business when dealing with potential clients. Is that confidence? Maybe…probably. When I am feeling a little less confident than I should, I remind myself of what I do, what I know, [...]
