In a recent group coaching call I led, a caller asked about transitioning from the public sector to the private sector.

43. How To Answer Negative Interview Questions
May 03, 2011

44. Stop Reading Job Postings!
May 03, 2011
A lot of jobseekers fret about what job postings say: I have most but not all requirements, so should I submit anyway? I am overqualified, so should I dumb down my resume? I am afraid to look “old” so should I omit my date of graduation?
Jobseekers also fret about not hearing back after...

49. It's Not Business; It's Personal
April 28, 2011
There is a saying, “It’s not personal, just business,” which implies that you can somehow remain removed from the emotion of a business outcome.

50. Tame The Online Social Networking Overwhelm
April 28, 2011
One of my most popular workshop topics is how to use social media in your job search. A high majority of recruiters use online social networks, such as LinkedIn, to find candidates (I used online networks extensively when I recruited), so jobseekers absolutely need to take advantage o...
