RISK: What the Romans Can Teach You About Career Change

By CAREEREALISM-Approved Expert, Melissa C. Martin Ever heard those demonic thoughts that swirl in our inner sanctum and resist giving way to the one thing that humans patently avoid…..changing their comfort zone. Risks. Stepping out of the comfort zone. Our inner temptations to make that change, even one small change, as we say in solution-focused interviewing and counseling, need a guiding force. Pay attention to those inner tempations! Even if it means confronting the status quo! (a.k.a. c… Continue

What Will You Do with 14 More Weeks?

If signed off on by President Obama, job seekers will have their unemployment benefits extended 14 more weeks. Read more about the bill here.

Let me ask a question: if you knew your benefits were ending this week or even next week, what would you do? What actions would you take? What would you change or do differently?

Career Advice: Reverse Mentoring Is Revolutionizing The Workplace

Mentors have strong and respected place in the world of work. In fact, that role is growing in importance. Usually, older and more experience, mentors provide coaching and serve as role models for neophytes who turn to them for advice on how to build and manage careers. This role is important to the success of individuals and organizations. Mentoring is taking on a new dimension as increasingly younger careerists are performing that vital service for their older bosses and associates. It's be… Continue

Ivanka tell you something.

Who just got married, turned 28 and published her first book? That's right, Ivanka Trump. The daughter with better hair than Mr. Apprentice himself has pumped out selective insights on her priveleged life and some tips as well. It's a catchy title, albeit a little trite: The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life. She isn't the first to dole out advice like this, but given WHO she is, maybe… Continue

The Inteview of Tomorrow

Someone referred me to an article in Time Magazine entitled How Skype is Changing the Job Interview. The title gives it away: the article is all about how Skype is seeing a lot more action in the interviewing process for organizations. After all, it’s free to use (so long as both parties have it) and it simulates an actual face-to-face meeting. Seems like a logical step, right? Video conferencing is becoming more and more prevalent in businesses for internal communication, especially now with co… Continue

JayZ & Time Management

Job hunting and career management benefit a lot from good time management. When you're at capacity, it's about delegating and juggling. On that note, I was inspired by what JayZ did last week. He was set to give a concert in my town of London, Ontario. He was also asked to open game 2 of the World Series in NYC (and you may know by now that I love baseball.) Local fans feared he'd cancel. He didn't - he kept both commitments and made it work.… Continue

7 Steps to an Open Door

The best way to introduce yourself to a company that doesn’t appear to be actively looking is to know the “What, where and how you can help the company”. I can give you a better-than-even chance to get the door to open to be able to introduce yourself, perhaps even create a job that is just right for you. It will take time and careful preparation but it will pay a dividend. Step 1 – Functional strengths: Begin by listing all your functional strengths across the top of a she… Continue

Scary Job Hunting

Scary costumes and movies may frighten your little tykes at home, but for job hunting adults, the search for a new employer can be scarier than a Michael Myer, Halloween, marathon movie night. If you’re new to the job market or out of practice, navigating today’s complex market can be a scary endeavor. Like a horror movie, there are parts that make us jump out of our seat, cover our eyes and in some cases even laugh. The job search is no different. Networking, interviewing, writing a resume or n… Continue
