Insensitive, Divisive, or Self-Serving? Taking on Problem Behaviors | “You” Power by Dawn Lennon - Feb, 2013 You experience them. You may even mention them–things that are done and said at work that aren’t right. We don’t do our jobs in a vacuum. We have to interact with others.

When Is Your Brand Not a Brand? by Georgia Adamson - Feb, 2013 If everything you publish about yourself as a professional–and that includes your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and more–makes you sound pretty much like hundreds or thousands of other people…your brand is not a brand. It will not make you stand out to prospective employers as a promising candidate for the job you want. Without finding a clear way to distinguish yourself and convey your desirable value to those emplo... |

Should You Relocate for a Job? by Alexandra Levit - Feb, 2013 In a job market that still leaves something to be desired, the question on many professionals’ minds is, “should I relocate?” Whether your current organization offers you a transfer that sounds too good to pass up or you receive an offer from an out-of-state (or out-of-country) firm that comes just as you were starting to get desperate, relocation is an issue that must be taken seriously – especially if you have a family that... |

Hate Networking Events? Try This Instead! by Kim Meninger - Feb, 2013 The thought of attending networking events sends shivers down the spines of many well-intentioned professionals who understand the importance of building a strong network, but are uncomfortable mingling with groups of strangers.

How to get the job: make a good first impression by Miriam Salpeter - Feb, 2013 People have short attention spans today, and recruiters and hiring managers are no different from the rest of the population. When it comes to impressing someone who may give you a job, you have less time than ever to make a good impression.

Why You Should Always Know Your Worth by Rich Jones - Feb, 2013 I got a few questions last week on Twitter from folks that did something during an interview that many of us have done before: Blurted out a salary range when asked, did research after the interview, then realize the range they blurted out was way lower than the industry standard. Uncool beans. It’s very easy to get caught offguard by an impromptu call from a recruiter. That’s usually not his or her intention... |

The confusing language of resume-speak by Julie Walraven - Feb, 2013 I just received an inquiry from someone reading a professionally written resume that she assumed was incorrectly written. One of the rules of what we call, resume-speak is that the gIh is always implied. Simple Example Instead of writing gI managed the team charged with renegotiating the contract,h in resume-speak you skip the gI.h The sentence would read: gManaged the team charged with renegotiating the contrac... |

These “outside-of-the box” ideas include a variety of approaches. For example, you’ve probably heard of people renting billboards to try to attract attention from hiring managers.
