  The garden and the network
by Dawn Bugni - May, 2011
I worked in the yard this past weekend. Truth be told, a well-manicured lawn and perfect landscaping hasn’t been a priority for many years. Combine five dogs and two growing businesses (up until 2009) with country living and no homeowners association to tell me weed whack and it got a little shaggy around the edges. I’ve learned; if you don’t’ get in control early in spring; forget it. The weeds win. This year, I found a ne...

Do you struggle to articulate the high points of your career and brand - or to sum up the reasons you should be considered over others? If so, you have plenty of company, especially if your career is at the executive or senior professional level. Many leaders have discovered that it’s easier to actually drive change, ...
 
  Do You Really Want to Use THAT LinkedIn Photo?
by Laura Smith-Proulx - May, 2011
Some time ago, I ran across a LinkedIn picture of a job seeker who was holding a very specific political sign over her head. In bright letters. In shorts (and no, they did NOT become her). Curious about this phenomenon, I surveyed my fine resume-writing, coaching, and careers industry colleagues at Career Directors International on the subject of inappropriate LinkedIn photographs. As a result, I came away with a ...
 
  How to Pronounce Emily -- some tips on succeeding in name pronunciation and international 101
by Emily Chardac - Apr, 2011
What goes into a first name? As an international business and human resources professional, I’ve seen too many times the discrete way that we diminish the people around us without even realizing it. Here are my observations. The United States is built on a diverse nation of culture and nationalities. (Note: You can have different cultures within a nationality.) Depending on where you live in the United States will dete...
 
  Greetings
by Emily Chardac - Apr, 2011
Have you ever thought about how you are greeting your colleagues? Probably – you say good morning to everyone as you bustle into your office or cube. You’ve never thought anything of it. And neither have your colleagues. What happens when you throw in a non-American into the work culture? Should your greetings change? I’ve met a lot of people who’ve said, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” That may have been an acceptab...
 
  Job Search Tips
by Emily Chardac - Apr, 2011
Five very talented individuals came to me last week asking for my advice -- what are the next steps, where to find jobs, and who to network with. Here are some tips I would give to any job seeker: 1. Make a list of a few "must have no compromise" qualities of the job that are necessary for your professional survival. Then, make a list of "forget it, you're not getting me for any amount of money" traits. This will keep you foc...

  How many votes is your social network worth? (Help a friend!)
by Miriam Salpeter - Apr, 2011
One of the best things about social media is it gives job seekers an opportunity to pick an area where they can excel — it’s different for every job seeker. Some are great using video, others may want to blog. Many more can share expertise via Twitter in 140 characters or less and connect with potential colleagues and contacts. At the same time, some employers are using social media and thinking “outside of the box” when i...
 
  Establishing Your Social Media Personality
by Michael Cohn - Apr, 2011
In your professional life, you interact with people online and you interact with people face to face. Have you ever asked yourself if your personality is the same in each case? It is important to establish a consistent online personality. It is important to try to have as consistent a personality as possible when you are interacting online and when you are interacting with people in person. With this in mind, you need to have...
