    Organizing Business Cards for Effective Contact Management
    Now that you've had colorful new business cards printed, and have been distributing them diligently, what do you do with the cards you collect from other people?If you're like most people, you have a stack of rubber-banded cards floating around you desk. Or you have been using them as bookmarks, toothpicks, and used gum wrappers and they are all over your office, car, wallet and purse?Without a good filing system, the information on those cards is useless. So clean out your desk and develop a system for prioritizing, organizing, and following up with those contacts.High Tech or Old Sc

Identify the signs of career burnout and create an action plan to get back on the right career path.

    Signs that You May be Experiencing Career Burnout

  • When someone tells you that they love their job, you get really jealous and wonder why they have it together and you are stuck in your miserable job.
  • You constantly check the paper and Internet for job postings. You fantasize on a daily basis about doing something else.
  • You are always checking your watch and the time always seems at least an hour earlier than you think it should be. You dream about all of the other things you wish you were doing.
  • You think that if only you had a better job, the rest of your life would be better.
  • You get the "Sunday Surl". This is a condition that for some starts on Sunday morning but for the really bad, this can start as early as Friday night. The "Sunday Surl", a name my mom and I came up with which stands for the surly attitude we use to get when were anticipating the work or school week ahead, is a sure sign that something is not right and the earlier it starts, the worse it is.

    Signs that You May be Experiencing Excessive Career Burnout

  • You have feelings of hopelessness and you feel stuck in your current situation. If you have reached this stage, you know you need to seek some help and support. It is never too late to have your dream job and it is never too late to change your relationship to work.
  • Your lack of desire to work begins transferring to all areas of your life and you begin to notice you no longer desire to do things you used to love.
  • You lack energy and wish you could stay in bed all day.
  • You begin to use alcohol, drugs, or food as a way to soothe your pain.
  • You fail to see your strengths and begin beating yourself down with negative self-talk.
  • You are intensely irritable and every little thing bothers you or sets you off. You feel like you are always on edge and you expect the worst to happen. You lose perspective and assign all of the negative feelings you have about your job to all of the other areas of your life.

    What Makes A Winning Online Ad?
    Most people who have been involved with sales & marketing for any length of time have heard the axiom, “Sell them what they want. Then sell them what they need”. But what does it mean? It sounds a little odd doesn’t it?Does it mean that people are frivolous & go around making irrational purchases that don’t meet their needs, before more serious ones that sustain them? Should you try to sell trivial goods first, & then follow up with those that are more substantial? Should you put games & entertainment on your home page, and flour & salt in your follow up messages?No, that’s not it.What it is tr

    Resume for Sales Professional Healthcare - Work Experience
    The most important section that reviewers will look at in resumes is the work experience history. Most resumes I've seen fall flat because most people write their work experience from a purely job description point of view. This is not the most effective way of capturing your work experience. We will use the work experience from an example resume for sales professional healthcare in order to illustrate the best way to format this important section.Three distinct parts are suggested for each previous position in work history. The first is the company name, job position or title and time period. It is als

    The Offer's On The Table
    In twentieth century America while young boys learned construction with Lincoln Logs, little girls instinctively cuddled a Raggedy Ann. Even today Raggedy Ann’s red yarn hair, patched pinafore and button eyes offer images of another era as she celebrates her 90th birthday in museums and private collections.But in 1958 Barbie was born. All grown up and designed with fantasy. This was no rag doll. Barbie’s hair was real and brush-able; her wardrobe generous and trendy. The ‘Barbie’ figure was to become the ultimate achievement of the perfect body. Playing with Barbie during formative years, young girls have ac

    Let's Form A Committee
    "Let's form a committee!" When you hear these words during a public meeting, a warning light should start flashing, for more often than not Parkinson's law may be coming into play. One of the many precepts from this law states that work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. It was first articulated by C. Northcote Parkinson, a British scholar, in the book "Parkinson's Law: The Pursuit of Progress," (London, John Murray, 1958). Based on extensive experience in the British Civil Service system, his scientific observations noted, among other things, that as the British empire declined, the numbe

  • You have incessant headaches that seem to be getting worse over time and your stomach always feels like you ate a huge bowl of 5 alarm chili.
  • You have trouble sleeping or all you do is sleep.
  • You find reasons to stay home from work or you are consistently tardy. While you are at work, your productivity has decreased dramatically.
  • What You Can Do

  • Seek the help of a professional counselor or coach and determine what course of action to take.
  • Tell yourself that your current job is a temporary situation and you have the skills, ability, desire, and drive to choose a better path.
  • Create an action plan that includes discovering your life purpose; researching the market; assessing your skills, strengths and abilities; set up informational interviews; write a new resume that highlights what you have to offer rather than just a list of what you have done; and remind yourself that it is never too late to have your dream job.
  • Find out if your company has any job development resources.
  • Communicate what you are going through with the important people in your life. They cannot help you if you do not tell them what is happening.
  • Begin growing your network. Tell people, as long as it does not jeopardize your current situation, that you are looking to move in a different direction and ask for some feedback and resources. A career transition will not happen in isolation. It will not happen by posting your job on a job board. It is a job in itself and in order to execute an effective career transition, you need to get others involved. Assume they will want to help you and then ask for help. People love being asked to help.
  • Remember that although this job may not be your ideal, it is a means to an end and it has taught you some valuable lessons if you are willing to take them. It has prompted you to move closer to your dream and in the end, it may be the catalyst to living the life you always imagined. Take advantage of everything it has to offer and do not compromise your integrity in that position. Everything you do reflects on the type of person you are and if being successful in another career is important to you, being known as someone who showed up on time, took their work seriously, and gave 100% effort is only going to help you.
