-- Quote of the Day --   “The quality of what is on the paper is more important then what kind of paper you choose. …A good cover letter complements the resume offering information on why you are a good fit for that company. …They can address things in the resume such as a gap in employment, volunteering, etc. …Using QR codes allows - takes them to different links that offer a blog that is relevant to their career, their linked in profile, or online portfolio – they are the way of the future, and you stand out …shows that you are up-to-date with the current trends. ” ~ Melanie Denny Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Nov 29… titled: Professional Resumes   (*Click on the title to access the full discussion) -- Green Technology --  A lot of new jobs are being created in what is now dubbed the Green Co...

-- Quote of the Day -- “…Sometimes you can get tunnel vision – if you are so passionate you can become blind to opportunities… you can be so focused on a particular aspect of a market that you can become blind to other opportunities or hear what the market is telling you. …Instead of looking at a problem as an obstacle that is blocking your way, look at is as a hurtle – a hurtle is an exercise where you are going to just get better, stronger and faster… The only failure is when you quit. A ‘failure’ is really just an opportunity to learn; it stands for Focused And Insightful Learning Using Real Experience … Don’t let ‘perfect’ get in the way of excellence; stop being a slave to your head, listen to your heart.” ~ Richard Norris * Excerpted from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show episode titled: Small Business Ventures http://www.blogtalkradio.com/consciousdiscussions/2012/02/02/small-business-venture -- Article on Managing Depression -- ...

-- Quote of the Day -- “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is,  but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked.  In a word, each man is questioned by life;  and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life;  to life he can only respond by being responsible” ~ Viktor Frankl – Man’s Search for Meaning -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio --    Sign up via itunes for the Conscious Discussions Radio show: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id262138144    While expenses continue to rise for most American families; salaries have remained stagnant.

-- Quote of the Day -- “… You can find a lot of information about the company online, but I suggest that you also watch the business news to see what is going on that affects that industry. …Most people overlook the fact that the front-end personnel often report to the CEO, so ask them what their name is and call them by their first name, ask them what they feel about working there. …get to know the team players and maybe take them out to lunch and get the inside scoop of what it is like and tips on what you can do. …Establish a file; sometimes you get a boost in salary or you get nice complements or people you can use as a referral – then you are well prepared to ask for that promotion. …Never be afraid to apply to a job, don’t listen to people who are telling you that you’ll never get that job .” ~ Elinor Stutz * Excerpted from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show episode titled: Job Search/InterviewSkills http://www.blogtalkradio.com/con...

-- Quote of the Day -- “I don’t know if our parents can truly understand [employment downsizing]. …I think it is very interesting to see how my kids react. …They know they will be switching companies, to them it is a fact of life. For my parents generation – that thought just didn’t happen. For our generation – the boomers - it is really a mixture; I think we thought we were going to stay with the same company and in fact it does not happen like that. So I think we are kind of a combination of those. …This is the time when the universe is hitting you upside the head…to do what you are meant to do on this Earth. What I am doing now I am very happy with even though I am not making as much money as before, I am much happier and more myself. …It is a way of rediscovering yourself. …I looked at what I was doing that I enjoyed without getting paid for it, and worked with that. …Fear is the biggest thing that puts you down, in fact I think everything is driven by fear and once we let that go ...
