Two Strategies for Getting A Job - The Daily Job Search Way

Let's face the truth.  If you are out of work, you are one out of every ten people around you. That means when you apply for a job, you are one in several hundred who want that job just as badly as you do. Actually, for the average job seeker, the odds are there are people who actually want the job more than you do and are in this race to win it. The people I find getting the jobs have disciplined themselves to focus like a laser on their goal.

To Lousy Employees - THANK YOU!

I have been in Human Resources for more years than I would ever like to admit. My career has provided me with food, clothing, transportation, and shelter. As I travel and visit other companies I always pay special attention to the HR department. They are usually overworked, tired, and feeling unappreciated. But that is the lot of the HR Professional.

Writing Your Tombstone - Your 2011 Action Plan To Work/Life Balance

"What?” I can hear many of you say. "It's a brand new year and you’re talking about tombstones? What about optimism? What about rolling up our sleeves and facing the future with hope and dreams? What about taking on the challenges of the world with renewed energy and vigor?

HEY! YOU WITH THE JOB....Now is still the time!

A lot has happened since that first article I wrote a year ago. The article back from December 2009 was titled "Hey You With The Job" and it was a plea for everyone of us (9 out of every ten people) to stand up and do something. Today, I can't help but think that those first words are as important now as ever. 
 
We have all heard the statistics. One in ten Americans are out of work. Others, myself included, believe that number to be much higher.

Getting Out Of The Box - Can Get You Shot

I don't think I have ever sat in an interview with a company where someone doesn't say, "We want our employees to think outside of the box! We want fresh ideas and inspiration!

A Thanksgiving Choice - The NLRB or Toy Story

 Life! God bless the word processor (the generic term we use for Microsoft Word...or Word for short) Because the first word that you have read is the last word that hit my mind when I completed this article. The true marvel is that I simply move my cursor to the start of this article and type it in. I don't exactly know what that word will be as I am typing now but I am sure it will sum up the totality of what has just hit me.

 

Brown Tuesday - Be Scared And Prepared

 There is a very common phenomena that is quickly approaching which nobody writes about and even fewer will admit it exists. Much like a Facebook request from that really scary and often un-bathed kid we remember from the 10th grade who reminds us of the Bride Of Chucky on caffeine, we try to ignore it but you know it's there.

Juan Williams Was Lucky

I am sure everyone by now has heard about the NPR correspondent who expressed his feelings about being nervous when he sees Muslim people on an airplane. He did this on Fox News and was quickly fired for being a bigot. That is the short story of it and without going into the politics, subtext reads more like five year olds tantrum in a sandbox.

The Greatest Interview Secret

I am about to upset an entire industry. Won't be the first time and certainly won't be the last, but I have been evolving a philosophy which for you may be a great V-8 smack on the head moment or you will look at this article and in great harmony proclaim loudly - DUH!

The Jordan Effect

A decade ago, during the First Great Talent War (1994 - 2000), it used to be said that the resume was soon to be dead. It was said the great people of industry, tech, and science would no longer need a resume simply because their reputation would be enough to get them a job.
