The former coworker (we’ll call her Janet) shared that her family was moving to Raleigh in a few weeks and she would soon be looking for a new job in a new town. What she... |

Recent events have taken the employee-employer relationship to the breaking point.

Meanwhile, those who weren’t let go are dealing with survivor’s guilt and excessiv... |

Stop Being Creative in Your Job Search by Kevin Donlin - May, 2010 “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” That’s according to economist and Harvard professor, Theodore Levitt. And that’s absolutely correct. Especially in job hunting, where too many people think too much and do too little. Want proof?

People who have kept their jobs are grateful, but they must complete more work with fewer resources, and fewer rewards.

Resumes Must Grab Readers’ Attention by Miriam Salpeter - May, 2010 It’s only recently that I have personally taken advantage of DVR technology. Yes, I watched shows when they were on live AND sat through commercials. We didn’t even have cable (believe it), so using the VCR to record and replay shows wasn’t a good option – the reception was not good enough make it worthwhile.

How Much Is Too Much To Ask For When It Comes To Your Career? by Elizabeth Freedman - May, 2010 We’ve been told to be assertive, and ask for what we want – but do we cross the line when it comes to our careers?
