Day In The Life - How To Manage Four Jobs by Alexandra Levit - Apr, 2010 You may have heard the phrase, “if you want to get something done, ask a busy person.” In my experience, this is true.

You Can Do This. Tell Your Story. by Suzanne Bates - Apr, 2010 Suddenly it’s become this thing. I didn’t used to hear it that often but lately everybody’s talking about how their leaders need to tell stories. The reason most people can’t find their leadership stories is because when asked, they can only remember the stories they’ve been telling at neighborhood cocktail parties or around the family dinner table on Thanksgiving. You know - the one everybody likes about how in third gra... |

How to Target Hiring Managers and Crack the Hidden Job Market by Kevin Donlin - Apr, 2010 Fact: The advertised job market is literally the tip of the iceberg. Fully 70-80% of jobs go unadvertised by employers, who fear being deluged by hundreds of resumes from applicants, most of whom won’t be qualified. With that in mind, it makes sense to spend about 80% of your time cracking this “hidden” market of unadvertised jobs. And a good way to do it is to contact hiring managers at companies you want to work for. ... |
