Help for Mid Career Professionals in Today's Economy by Mary Jeanne Vincent - Sep, 2009 While every age group has its career issues, today’s mid career professionals, those aged 50 and above, have been disproportionally affected by the changes in the economic environment. These folks are more likely to be laid off and often have a more difficult time rebounding after a job loss. I’ve identified five challenges facing mid career workers and offer suggestions for addressing them. Challenge #1: You’ve been caught... |

Hosting a Career Party by Thomas J. Denham - Sep, 2009 Sometimes my clients retreat when ownership is required for their job search. Some are embarrassed at their age not knowing what they want to be when they grow up. My advice is to fight the tendencies of isolationism, self-doubt, anxiety and frustration by reaching out to your team of friends and family. In other words, throw what I call “The Career Development Party.” 1. Before the Party Start by, inviting a number of ... |

The Art of Change by Nan S. Russell - Sep, 2009 From the iron age to nearly the industrial age, blacksmiths prospered. Villagers needed plows, shovels, iron tires for wagons, nails and tools to build their homes, all of which the blacksmiths forged. They needed their horses and oxen shod and their tools repaired. Being a blacksmith was a sound professional choice. Yet despite flourishing for centuries, this vital profession was all but eliminated in a few generations. W... |

Talking About Nothing is Part of a Job Search Campaign by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2009 I know I’ve ranted about this before but I’m continuously amused by all the articles popping up about how social media is destroying real relationships. In my opinion, nothing could be further from the truth. The biggest pet peeve is that social media sites like Facebook and Twitter are flooded with people talking about nothing...as if before social media, people who spoke always had something profound to say. People will a... |

What's Your Next Game? by Deborah Brown-Volkman - Sep, 2009 It's hard to get excited about our careers sometimes. Especially when bad news surrounds us. Between high unemployment, low morale, and reduced compensation, who can blame you for not wanting to jump out of bed energized and ready to start each day? Maybe what you need is a new game to play. Something that gets you excited again. Whether it's a new job or a new way of doing something in your present position, a new game (or... |

Four De-Stressing Tips for Your Job Search by Teena Rose - Sep, 2009 Job seekers are spending long, grueling hours, hitting the job front from multiple angles, but the stress is becoming unbearable. So, I decided to build a list of de-stressing tips which hopefully provide you with some relief. 1. Take stock in what you have. When did our personal worth become indicative upon a j-o-b? No doubt, the loss of income will force us to make some difficult decisions, but never will our income, poss... |

Job Seekers - What Could You Live Without? by Barbara Safani - Sep, 2009 My teenage son has been allergic to milk products his entire life. His reaction is pretty intense...immediate vomiting, drop in blood pressure, turning white as a ghost...all from a thimble-full of milk or a bite of cheese. He is part of an allergy research study group and every year he spends a day in the hospital ingesting tiny amounts of milk and being observed, poked, and prodded for hours. And every year after a very over... |

Pink Slip: I Never Saw It Coming by Mary Sherwood Sevinsky - Sep, 2009 Today a long time friend was laid off “unexpectedly” – she was given no notice and turned in her company computer and phone on the spot. Nothing against her employer (business is business), but she was left ill-prepared, to say the least. “I have a few cards,” she told me in a flat monotone. “I am eerily calm.” Of course, I offered my commiseration and any help in the way of a resume and contacts. However, I was absolut... |

Be a Standout! by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 These are not average times; and for that reason, companies are not looking for “average” people. That makes sense. So you need to be a “Standout”, and it may be easier than you think. Here, think about this: You go and get more education and additional credentials thinking “I’ll be more marketable” and get back to the business of job searching and you still find yourself in line with 100's if not 1000's of potential job ... |

Hey! You Gotta Problem? by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 From blatant...“greatest weakness”; “weakest attribute”; “most significant failure”...to soft...“what might your previous employer say...?”...even softer...“you certainly seem to have a lot of strengths, but we understand no one is perfect...” The question will come one way or another, everyone knows it, yet still befuddled by it. There have been many Rules of Thumb developed over the years, from making light of the questio... |
