The Voice and Your Job Interview
Once again, I am watching The Voice. I absolutely love this program. If you are a job seeker, I would encourage you to tune in – I don’t know exactly what you will learn, but I learn something each and every week from Adam, Blake, CeeLo, Christina and the contestants. If are a job seeker and th...
Scott -- so appreciative of your comment! So many times, clients give me "ideas" for blog posts and this was another one. Thanks for your feedback!

Gear Shifts and Gratitude
Whether I am delivering career management services face-to-face or via the telephone, I almost always find something fascinating about clients and how they think. A recent phone coaching session got underway with a client’s matter-of-fact proclamation of these three things: You need to know t...

Gettin' Hitched and Your Job Search
It won’t be long now, and my son and his fiancé will be exchanging their vows. Date set. Plans made. Reservations scheduled. Wedding paraphernalia purchased. Details checked, checked and rechecked. Hours and hours invested in the getting married project. While I have enjoyed the entire process ...

Raspberry Bubblegum and Your Job Search
Remember when I wrote a blog post last year about looking for a dress for our son’s wedding? A couple of week’s ago, our first-born daughter (certainly more of a fashionista than I) took me on another shopping adventure to find the perfect dress. Since last year, I have looked in multiple stat...

Letting Go
I can’t decide if I would rather be referred to as the MOG (mother of groom) or GM (groom’s mom). I think I am more of a GM than a MOG. Either way, in five months, our son is gettin’ hitched. Some people know this tidbit and have offered their wisdom: “Oh, it’s soooooooo hard to let go” or “Let...

Watching one of my favorite television programs, CBS Sunday Morning, I was particularly interested in the piece about “Charisma.” The story reminded me of some teachings in a Napoleon Hill book I recently read again. Lesson Ten from the The Law of Success, copyright 1928, is titled “Pleasing Pe...

Thanks twitter.com/Samando. I've talked with job seekers who do both -- take a job just to have one and continue to look; while others will hold out for what is a good match with their skillset. Still others tire of looking and start their own business or invest in one if financial resources permit doing so. And yet others volunteer their time at places they would like/love to work; others take classes to enrich their knowledge in areas of interest. All kinds of choices when it comes to finding work that you love. Appreciate your thoughts.

Love Is All You Need
Steve Jobs talked about it. The Beatles and Led Zeppelin sang about it. Kahlil Gibran and Robert Plant wrote about it. So what is that one common connector among these legends? It’s a four-letter word that starts with ‘L’, ends in ‘E’ and rhymes with dove. You guessed it: LOVE! L-O-V-E. Love yo...
