Compete Where You Can Win
| |
| Here's something you probably already know: Selling ourselves can be tough. Between the rejections, the unanswered phone calls or unreturned emails, it’s far too easy take it personally, give up altogether, and even worse, assume that they are ‘right’ and you are ‘wrong’ when your efforts go unrewarded. Instead of beating your head against the wall and quit now, take a hard look at your efforts over the past year and go where the love is. |

How to Recover from a Bad Job Interview And Get The Job
| |
| It can happen to anyone. For one reason or another - a late arrival, botching answers to key questions, failing to show knowledge about the company -you had a bad job interview. There are any number of reasons why you can have a bad job interview. Often, it's not as bad as you thought, and equally often, the interview gives you additional information that convinces you that the job isn't for you after all. But if you have a bad job interview for a job you really want, writing a timely, fact-filled and enthusiastic recovery letter can show the employer yet again that you are the best person for the job.

How to Access the Hidden Market in Your Job Search
| |
| Imagine that there were a store where the items you needed were always in stock and there were rarely, if ever, long lines. Now consider the way that the same analogy applies to your job search. The hidden market is where many of the jobs that are going to be ideal for you are. When you take the time to look to the hidden market during your job search, what you are really doing is making a commitment to your personal satisfaction and growth. Rather than simply looking to see what might be out there, you're taking control and taking the initiative to bring about your own success. |

Job Loss: If You’re Fired What’s Next?

| Job loss, just like any loss that you will experience, means going through the process of shock and denial, anger, depression, acceptance and – finally – growth.

| Given that the economy is not as strong as it could be, many companies are looking at layoffs as
an option that will help them to stay in business. No matter how great you are at your job, there

| |
| When you are looking for the chance to get ahead in the workplace - to find a job that’s better than the one have or you just want to be sure that you can get in the door, one of the most important things that you can do is to have a great resume.

A Better Approach to Career Coaching: Putting Your Natural Skills to Work

| Historically career inventories have measured the extent to which your interests are similar to the interests of people in a particular career or profession. The problem is that while you may have similar interests as those in the construction industry, you may have little or no desire to do what someone in the construction industry does. ACI for Coaches approaches the issue of career selection differently by using strength-based coaching. |

Increasing Your Success Isn't As Hard As You Think It Is
| |
| As a career coach and researcher of working women’s work-life issues, I’ve embarked on a national research study on Women Succeeding Abundantly, in order to learn first-hand the essential ingredients in thinking, beliefs, choices, and behaviors that create and maintain “knock your socks off success” in women. I want to learn from women who can raise their hands today and say, “Yes! I feel tremendously successful on my terms, and am able to live life joyfully and with great gusto." |

Secrets of Successful Careers - Discover Your Purpose & Strengths
| |
| Why are some people promoted to positions that bring out the best in them, while their peers, who are equally talented, get left behind in positions that do not allow them to flourish? Are there secrets to a rewarding and satisfying career in the corporate world?
According to Gallup research, only twenty percent of people are working in jobs that provide them the opportunity to excel in what they do best.
Since we spend so many of our waking hours working, shouldn't we try to make that time rewarding and fulfilling? Unfortunately, many of us feel trapped in mediocre careers and place the blame on poor company leadership and lack of opportunities. In these situations, daily work becomes a grind when we cannot apply our strengths into our work. |

Who Cares about Work-Life Balance?
| |
| Whether you manage one person, or lead an organization with thousands of employees, supporting your staff to create a better work-life balance makes sense and cents. When people you work with feel you respect their work-life balance and allow them some autonomy in their choices, they will feel more valued, more engaged, and more committed to the organization. You can make a difference in your employees work-life balance by giving them support and tools to make choices that fit with each person’s individual work-life preferences. Keeping your staff satisfied keeps them working well and working for you. |

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus
| |
| Twin sisters Christa Pitts and Chanda Bell grew up in a house where their mother hid an elf named Fisbee somewhere each night between Thanksgiving and Christmas. A few years ago the sisters suggested they write a book about Fisbee. Every publisher turned them down. "It's been done - it's not practical to package a doll with a book - it's too expensive - no one will buy them." So they knew their idea was stupid and you’ve never heard of Elf on the Shelf. |

Create Your Success
| |
| If you want to succeed you need to do at least four things: 1) Get clear on --your purpose and direction in your life and career; 2) Commit to taking personal responsibility for your life and career; 3) Build unshakeable self confidence; 4) Develop the competencies you need to succeed.

I listed several success quick points above and hopefully you learned something from them. But, as the U.S. Steel pencils used to say, "Knowing is not enough." You have to use this knowledge if you're going to become a career and life success. Remember, success is a journey, not a destination. |
