Laid Off? Today Is A Brand New Day

How To Create A Vision For Your Career
Think about your career and the times when you said 'I want.' Maybe you said 'I want' go to college—and then enrolled in school and completed your degree. Maybe you said 'I want' to work for a large or a small company—and you are working there now. Maybe you said 'I want' to lead teams—and that’s one of your current responsibilities. 'I want' is a very powerful phrase. Without it, it’s hard to go very far.

How To Successfully Prepare For Interviews
A job interview is a screening tool. For you, it’s an opportunity to assess whether or not you want to work for a company.

What All Great Conversations Need
Not getting what you want in your career? Maybe you are not asking effectively. Communication should be simple. You say one thing, and the other person says another. The challenge is that each person communicates differently. People listen to what is being said differently, and they interpret what they hear differently, too.

Change How You Feel At Work
Work can be frustrating and stressful sometimes. Yet, no matter how tough your job is, you’ll need a healthy mind and body to tackle it. If you are eating poorly, not exercising, or internalizing stress, you won’t feel well. And if you don’t feel well, you can’t treat your career with the attention and respect it deserves. Without energy, you cannot make your career as fulfilling as it could be.
