51. Bold Job Search Moves Are Not Required
April 26, 2011
At a recent workshop, one attendee asked me if she should hand deliver her resume. This is a tight job market. Jobseekers should be casting as wide a net as possible. Jobseekers need to go after many positions, certainly more than in a boom market. Jobseekers may need to expand their geographic ...

52. Asking For Work/ Life Balance In Your Next Job
April 26, 2011
At a recent workshop, one attendee asked me how to talk to recruiters about work/ life balance – i.e., she values having a life outside of work and only wants to consider companies with the same mindset. My advice to her was NOT to have this conversation with recruiters at all -- not because she sh...

53. How To Follow Up About Your Job Search (Without Being A Pest)
April 25, 2011
Many candidates worry about the pauses in a search – between when the resume is dropped off and an interview is scheduled, between interviews, between the last interview and an offer decision.

54. How To Get Job Search Feedback You Can Use
April 25, 2011
If you want to find out what prospective employers think of you, don’t wait till you don’t get a job and then ask the recruiter for feedback. It’s a litigious society, so they won’t share it (I never did in my 10+ years of recruiting).

55. Is It The Job Market's Fault, Or Is It You?
April 21, 2011
At a recent career workshop, one attendee asked if her poor job search results to date were a reflection of the market or her own skills and qualifications. It’s a valid question because this is a particularly tough market. You don’t want to beat yourself up unnecessarily. Perhaps, you are doing ...

The point is that you can't be too greedy." - Donald Trump

April 14, 2011
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." -- Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize winner

59. Write Competing Biographies To Evaluate Big Choices
April 12, 2011
We all get choices that take us in completely different directions: career in one industry v. another; entrepreneur v. employee; stay-at-home parent v. career outside the home.
