Post-Traumatic Growth

Passion and purpose might land your next job!  Regina Hartley, UPS Human Resource Manager, is challenging my peers in the recruitment field to think differently when reading a resume. Check out her TED Talk here. Keep reading for the quick version on how to get noticed!

A resume tells a story. And over the years, I’ve learned something about people whose experiences read like a patchwork quilt that makes me stop and fully consider them before tossing their resumes away. A series of odd jobs may indicate inconsistency, lack of focus, unpredictability. Or it may signal a committed struggle against obstacles. At the very least, the Scrapper deserves an interview.

3 steps for successful networking

After a few bumpy flights, I made it to Austin, Texas and the Indeed conference. The first few parts of my trip went smashing- packing, catching a plane and being kind to strangers.

5 Tips To Change The World

5 tips to change the world

planeTraveling without Brad is always be a bit tricky. While I avidly try for Jennifer Aniston’s arms, I always fall short at about the 6th push-up. My weak upper body with my lacking stature (5’2″ and a quarter) leaves me in the awkward situation of lifting a 30-pound bag over my head and into a small compartment.

Seriously, it is as easy as 5 tips to change the world. Small steps = big impact Read more

Don’t worry I have my solution after much pinning and people watching.
