How Gen Y navigates time — and life by Lindsey Pollak - Nov, 2011 I’ve been working with members of the Millennial Generation (those born approximately 1980 to 1995) for about 10 years now, and one of my biggest observations is that they always seem to be busy. High school and college students are shuttling between classes, sports, clubs, jobs and social engagements. Young professionals are working full-time and starting businesses on the side. And, of course, they’re accomplishing all of... |

How to Avoid Errors in Your Resume by Miriam Salpeter - Nov, 2011 One of the fastest ways to lose a job opportunity is by submitting a resume with typos or spelling errors. In a competitive market where employers have a choice of qualified candidates, many hiring managers toss out error-laden resumes and choose the most perfect documents to review.

I had the car towed to my mechanic and called Enterprise Car Rental to pick me up. The driver of the pick-up van was pretty friendly so we started to talk. He’s 71 years old and a retired mortician. He works full time for Enterprise. I asked him what it was like working with mostly twenty year olds. He wisely told me that everyone got along pretty well probably due to ... |

Clashing at Work – Who Are the Generations? by Dr. Maynard Brusman - Nov, 2011 I was recently meeting with one of the senior leadership team members of one of my San Francisco Bay Area clients. She was struggling to deal with the conflict between supervisors who had been on the job for a number of years and new and younger employees.

Mining For Your Executive Brand & Promoting ROI by Rosa Elizabeth Vargas - Nov, 2011 What has cemented the doom of many job seekers, including executive-level leaders, is their inability (or self-destructive refusal) to wrap their minds around the idea of marketing themselves with a unique identity as if they were a product. As a “product,” you must clearly articulate your executive brand, unique value proposition, and market an ROI. Yet, instead, most executives mount a precarious job search campaign wi... |

Clash Points at Work – Geeks and Geezers by Dr. Maynard Brusman - Nov, 2011 I was recently thinking about getting the new iPhone for my fifteen year old son. I still don't have a smart phone, and thought maybe it was time to get one for myself too and use some of the apps. My son quipped "why dad...you don't even know how to use all of the functions on the tv remote"! I’m the oldest of the Baby Boomers and my son is a Gen M or the Media Generation. He’s already started his own online advertising a... |
