Leah Barr Social(ly awkward) Professional Networking

Cross-posted to my professional blog.) Or, "what if you cross paths online after the breakup?" I had a teachable moment the last time I was surfing Smaller Indiana. I was revisiting this post. And then, surfing back to SI's main page, what to my wondering eyes did appear... but a… Continue

Leah Barr The humble trash can

*thunk* ... @&$#*! I'd knocked the trash can over -- again! And now I feared I would be late for work, but I couldn't just leave that mess in the alley. I have a tendency to really whip my car around quick, backing out of the driveway. Trash pick-up is only once a week, not frequent enough to quickly cement a routine. And for some reason my landlord ALWAYS puts those big cans right in my path. So, for a little wh… Continue

Kelli B Schmith "Social Media Made Me Do It" and Other Silly Career Notions

I love a spicy debate over new technology or social trends, and these days it’s impossible to mention Twitter or Facebook without triggering a verbal throw-down. Once as separate as church and state, technology and social engagement are now inextricably bound together. The whole notion scares the bejeebees out of people. Thanks to the near-mainstreaming of Twitter, Facebook and other community platforms, it’s a cinch to elicit a stream of grunts and eye-rolling from your spouse, colleagues and… Continue

Ben McCann Helping People in Job Transition is Rewarding

I have been working on helping people in Job Transition for a few years now ( on the side ) for FREE. Since I have always been a good networker, lots of people have sent me their resumes to "keep my eyes open" and other companies and clients send me job postings because I have a "good eye" for talent. By December 2008 I had more of these emails then I could handle, but I still wanted to help as many people as possible. After being a part of SI almost since the beginning, I decided to do somethi… Continue

Susan Baroncini-Moe Starting A Business in A Challenging Economic Climate, Part One (Why Now?)

My recent LifeHack.org post, published April 10:

Starting a business during a recession seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? If the economy isn’t doing well and people aren’t spending money, doesn’t that mean a new business is likely to fail? Actually, the answer may surprise you. Fear… Continue

Ann Clifford Employment Brand: What is Yours?

All companies have a company employment brand. It’s their earned reputation for how they treat their employees. A corporate brand is shaped primarily by three things: 1. How a company actually treats its employees. 2. What those employees say to other people about how they are being treated. 3. What the company’s ex-workers say about how they were treated while they were employees. Assuming a candid… Continue

Cory Mausolf Needing help!

Lori Lowe What Should You Do With Your Life?

A lot of folks at SI seem to be considering where to put their energies in this new economy. I came across these quotes that rang true for me and give me direction and motivation: You will recognize your own path when you come upon it, because you will suddenly have all the energy and imagination you will ever need. ~~ Jerry Gillies Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go do that. Because what the world needs are people who have com… Continue

Susan Baroncini-Moe A Follow-Up To “Change The Way You See Work and Change Your Life”

From my LifeHack.org column, published today: I’ve received so many e-mails and comments about my “Change The Way You See Work and Change Your Life” article that I decided to write a follow-up article to talk more about the specifics of what some call “non-traditional work” but w… Continue

Bill Meyers Don't Just Find a Job... Find the Right Job

This post is all about the art of connecting job and career seekers with great opportunities, and with helping businesses and organizations to find, hire, manage and retain them. I imagine that, initially, at least, much or most of our discussions will focus on helping career seekers to market themselves to the business community. So, let's start there... My thought at the outset is that any time of career or job change is a perfect and appropriate time for an update and re-assessment of a per… Continue

Beth Haggenjos Career Support Group already started - Should I go public?

I actually already have started a Career Support Group at St. Jude Church (southside Indy) but was thinking about expanding to the outer community more to make it into a side venture. The main thing is that I like to help people and definitely love new adventures so I'm open to hear opportunities. Or on whether you think this is a good idea. Continue

Ken Moore Should a Job Resume Start With an Objective?

One of the quickest ways for a résumé to find its way to the round file, or the no thanks stack, is to start it out with the ho-hum, everybody does it, old school approach of The Objective. The Objective – the phrase sounds like it should be the name or the title of some drama based TV show or motion picture. When it comes to a job résumé, everybody knows what the objective is – and that is to get a job – wrong (tricked ya), it is to get an interview. Don’t bring drama into your résumé with The… Continue

Ken Moore Looking Back on Losing a Job?

Some people are ready for a disaster from Mother Nature. There are survival kits and first aid kits nearby with flashlights, water, a radio, and maybe some personal items you want to make sure are safe. People who do not prepare for these things quickly realize the downfalls of not being prepared. So, why aren’t more people proactive toward the possibility of unexpected job loss? It is emotional when a job gets eliminated or the company you work for goes under. It can take several days to snap… Continue

Ken Moore If Job Search Hurts, at Least do Something Different

I don’t know about you, but my parents always told me that if it hurts, then don’t do it. They saved many trips to the doctor’s office, and quite a bit of money, with this simple little saying or proverb. And, they were right! When I quit doing something that hurt, the pain went away. Of course, I was a kid back then and I didn’t have all the years of experience and wisdom that my parents did (not that I claim to have a bunch of wisdom now ). What’s my point? Flash forward to adult life. Are y… Continue

Ken Moore Need Help Deciding What Career to Choose?

I need help deciding what career to choose – this is a frequent comment or concern from people of all ages. It comes from those who are in mid-life looking for a change, people who have found their jobs eliminated for whatever reason, and also from high school and college students trying to figure it out before they spend too much time and money going a direction that might not be the best. This can be a confusing, frustrating, and intimidating thing to work through. So, many people turn to car… Continue
