The Path that Leads to Me I gave a presentation yesterday on the power and energy in our words. This is an important subject to me because I believe that words are very precious things and should be used with care. One of the reasons why I discovered the power in words was because of [...]
I've Got an Interview! – Part II
I’ve Got An Interview! Now What? (Please see previous post for Part I) Let’s take a look at the actual interview. What is going on during an interview? By the time you meet, the recruiter has already looked at your resume, they know what you’ve done and your successes, so what’s this whole meeting about [...]
I Got an Interview! What do I do? (Part I)
An Interview – Congratulations! These days just getting an interview is a piece de resistance! When competing with a hundred other qualified, hopeful applicants, it’s difficult to get your resume to stand out long enough for a cursive review, let alone a call for an interview.

Scary and Exciting Steps

Spring into Action With a Plan
Spring is here! The shortened daylight, colder weather, festivities, concerns and added burdens of the winter months have come to an end. The brighter weather has lit a bit of a fire under me and given me new energies to put into my goals. This is perhaps because spring is the season of change and [...]
What do you want to do with your life?
What do you want to be when you grow up? Remember when you were young and a grown up, usually someone who seemed ancient, would ask: What do you want to be when you grow up? Did you have an answer? Was it a fireman or astronaut? A ballerina or mountain climber? Or did you [...]
