Feb 17 - The Carnival of Career Intensity
This week’s Carnival of Career Intensity is up with five terrific posts. Here is a taste of what you can find at this week’s Carnival of Career Intensity.
Christine Kane presents It Might Be Time to Take a Risk if… posted at Christine Kane.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the Law of Attraction. I believe in it wholeheartedly. And you know what else I believe in? Taking action, and taking risks. At some point, you have to act. At some point you may have to get a little scared. Maybe even a lot scared. You may have to step forward and give some weight to your affirmations, visualizations and good vibrations. It’s the best way to let the universe (and yourself) know that you’re serious about this dream of yours and about this life of yours.
How to Protect Yourself from a Layoff
Steve Faber presents 5 Important Ways to Protect Yourself Against Job Loss posted at Debt Free.
They’re coming in waves now. Large job cuts at some of the biggest companies, while the economy as a whole continues its growth. Alcatel–Lucent announced on the 9th they’d raise the number of job cuts in the next three years to 12,500. Diamler-Chrysler announced this morning they’d eliminate 13,000 positions. On the 8th, Eastman-Kodak revealed they’d get rid of between 28,000 and 30,000 jobs. What’s this mean for you?
Measurement Equals Success in a Job Hunt
Clint James presents Quantify to Qualify posted at Static Cure.
Here is a little personal lesson I learned this week:
QUANTIFY YOURSELF ON YOUR RESUME’!!!
Why? Because the person sitting across from you is in business and he/she is a numbers person unless you are interviewing at a daycare and they don’t so much care about your ability to produce as your likelihood for stealing the children. Here is how I found out this one small truth.
Charles H. Green presents Trust Tip 32: Answering “Why Should We Choose You? posted at Trust Matters.
It happens most overtly in a sales presentation: “So tell us, Mr. Jones, why should we choose you?”
Words vary. You may recognize:
What makes you folks different, what sets you apart?
John Lampard presents The signs of a career rut posted at The InterChange Desk.
Maybe the first sign, or symptom, that you are fed up with your job, or career, is the fact you are reading this article.
What time is it? Is this your lunch or coffee break? Or are you desperately trying to “fill-in” time until the close of business? Or until lunchtime? Or, worse still, is your work day only ten minutes old, and reading this article is the first of many “distractions” you have planned for the rest of the (long) day?
Thanks to everyone who submitted a post.
