Will Your Resume and/or Profile Make the Cut?

Resumes and online profiles that are top tier, rarely get reviewed by those hiring directly unless they are doing the search for candidates themselves. 9/10 resumes and/or profiles sent by candidates answering job posting ads may never get their resume or online profile viewed by the actual hiring manager. In most organizations with the volume of candidates that apply per job opening, time per job search spent continues to increase as an internal cost, therefore, making the role of first resume/profile screener that with entry-level or junior experience. Also as organizations become more technically assisted with . . .

Texting & Emailing – True Communication or Surface Communication?

Email & text communication, is it of benefit or can it be a convoluted communication tool?

I am pretty sure all of our subscribers would agree that email and texting as a primary communication practice within organizations, has caused problems with those receiving and those sending.

Cyberchondria – what is this?

What is cyberchondria? Do you have this new disease-sounding syndrome? Doctors are saying that cyberchondria is creating an epidemic of anxiety about health issues.

If you or a family member believes they have a medical issue, what is done first? Do you make a Doctor’s appointment immediately? If you are in pain and it becomes severe, do you immediately head to an emergency room at a hospital? Some people still do that but you guessed it, most people ask Dr. Google first. Do you agree or disagree?

How Do You Move from Invisible to Visible and Stay Safe Online?

As a job seeker, becoming a standout is your #1 goal. As a business leader or staff level contributor, your job is to get noticed and be viewed as an expert in your field. According to Suzanne Evan’s New York’s premier expert coach, only 33% of people after high school, read or listen to books. Only 3% of books written, get read. This surprised me as I am an avid reader.
