Embracing Failure: A Powerful Tool for Success
When we were children, we were not afraid to fail. We failed countless times at walking, talking, riding a bike, tying our shoes, and many other important tasks. But we were resilient and never gave up. We embraced our failures and changed our approaches until we achieved our desired result. Why is it that now, as an adult, so many of us are afraid to fail? Do you see failure as a part of the process of achieving success or an evil to be avoided at all costs? As in childhood, we must embrace…See More

Your blogs are such a great resource! Job seekers have heard about the "hidden job market" but have few clues on how to get started on tapping them. Great first clue!!
Change From Within
We have now entered a season of change. However, aside from our home values dropping, expenses rising, and our investments shrinking, the change has not been good. After electing Barrack Obama, finally some positive change is coming--- but it’s not here yet. I find myself and many others, feeling insecure about the future for our families. Will we be able to cover the mortgage, create an emergency fund or provide for our children? I find fear creeping in and overtaking our thoughts. Even if our…See More

The lunch list is a great idea! Use the power of small in your job search- take a little time to reconnect with your contacts. Talking to one person can lead you on to your next job. If your immediate circle of friends aren't hiring its likely…

Great post!
Trying to grow your networking group is hard work and a lot of time trying to get professional experts and members to join your group is like pulling teeth. If you don't have hundreds of members already aboard, they just turn the…
First step in creating a powerful network: Create a lunch list

Well today is the day for you to build your own power network.I was watching Dancing with the Stars recently (please don’t judge) and there was a couple who, after a disappointing performance the previous week, came back and received great scores. They were asked what made the difference. The…See More

If you don't have the qualifications they list, your resume will be tossed---you definetely need to find another way to be seen b/c your resume will not speak to the intangible qualities you have to offer.
Jason Monastra commented on Coach'm Up Boni's blog post 'Job Posting Problem: “I don’t meet all the position requirements”'
WOW...this is a two edge sword that you are going after here with bare hands and no handle. Surely you will get cut. Job requirements are simple - they are requirements. If they are not, they would be under nice to haves, preferred skills and the…

Job Posting Problem: “I don’t meet all the position requirements”
“I’m not qualified”
“I don’t have a (bachelors/masters) degree”
“I don’t meet all the requirements”
How many times have you uttered these words when reading a job posting? Countless times, job seekers stop reading a job ad or posting once they find they don’t meet a requirement. They don’t bother to read the rest of the posting, instead convincing themselves they don’t qualify. I’m here to tell you that if you are interested in a position and possess many skills and… Continue
