Got Ideas? Become a Thought-Leader. Oprah Did. by Dawn Lennon - Jun, 2011 Ideas have extraordinary power. They're the basis of the opinions, principles, and convictions that drive us. They underpin the plans we make and actions we take. The more universal the idea, the more promise it evokes, and the more compelling the spokesperson, the more likely we are to adopt it. You don't have to be a big shot to have valuable ideas. You just need a following of colleagues who think your ideas have me... |

Losing Your Shirt and Other Consequences of Career Naiveté by Dawn Lennon - Jun, 2011 No one wants to look inept, but sometimes we are.

Predictions about the Future of Gen Y at Work by Lindsey Pollak - Jun, 2011 As another cohort of young professionals enters the workforce this graduation season, I’ve been pleased to see some more positive articles about Generation Y appearing in the media. Sure, the members of this generation are still young and have a lot to learn, but, these articles assert, maybe they’re not as “entitled” and “coddled” as older generations feared. Finally some good press for today’s twentysomethings! I’ve be... |

Want to Serve on a Non-Profit Board? Put Your Business Hat On. by Dawn Lennon - Jun, 2011 It lifts us up when we do "good" for others: Help our neighbor, donate money to charity, volunteer at an event, or serve on a non-profit board. Non-profit board positions are platforms from which we can lead, engage support, and help more people. Some people "collect" board appointments to look important and influential. Others can't get beyond operational details to focus on the long-term. Many are so uncomfortable wi... |

How to interview and illustrate skills that are a reach by Miriam Salpeter - Jun, 2011 What are the skills you need to demonstrate when you apply for jobs? It’s usually not very difficult to identify what employers are looking for; their 3000-word, in-depth job descriptions don’t leave much to the imagination. Many firms also post videos, have Facebook sites and Twitter feeds touting their organizations and why you might want to work there. Skip these resources at your own peril — they are telling you exactly... |

Why you’re not getting the job by Miriam Salpeter - Jun, 2011 It’s one of the most difficult and frustrating questions to face. Job seekers usually don’t receive feedback from hiring managers or interviewers, let alone hear why their resume may not have been selected for an interview. Instead, they are left to wonder if there is something wrong with them. I don’t advise job seekers rely too much on the old stand-by reasons why they didn’t get the job: ageism (they want a 25-year old, ... |

College Graduates Need A Budget by Bob Roth - Jun, 2011 When students graduate from college and begin to work and earn a salary, it makes sense for them to establish a budget. Unfortunately, that process can be both eye opening and frustrating. That is because most young adults will not earn enough money to pay for everything they think they need. “Budget: A mathematical confirmation of your suspicions.” -- A. A. Latimer The first realization will be that employees do not ... |
