Thank them in person. Thank them o... |

It’s your life. It’s your career. Stop apologizing. by Dawn Bugni - Mar, 2012 Three times this week, (and it’s only Wednesday), I’ve had clients say to me, “If only I’d …”, or “How am I going to explain this gap in employment?”, “What will ‘they’ think, when they see …?” and other, self-deprecating comments about their career and the choices they’ve made in their lives. To which I gently SHOUT, “Stop apologizing for events and decisions you cannot change. Find the value or diminish the event, but stop c... |

The 5 Secrets to Staying Employed by Miriam Salpeter - Mar, 2012 You are one of the lucky ones to land a job. But conventional wisdom suggests that a job today is no guarantee of employment tomorrow.

And the business world is listening to them. It seems as if the entry-level grunt is a thing of the past... |
