Are you looking in the right direction for your career? by Miriam Salpeter - Aug, 2011 Last month, while walking in the magnificent Central Park in New York City, I saw a man taking a picture. As you can see in the photo I took of the man (to your right), it wasn’t that he was taking a picture that was striking, but HOW he was taking it — on his back, on the ground, pointing the lens up at the trees. His tripod (if that’s what you call it) covered his body like some sort of shield. Clearly, there was somethin... |

White Collar Professionals Unemployed for 1 Year or More: Investigating Your Job Options by Ben Ruark - Aug, 2011 If not encountered already, at some point in a protracted unemployment interlude we're forced to decide whether continuing a search for the same/similar position previously held is going to succeed in the near-future; or whether we're on a treadmill-to-nowhere: that we've crossed over some invisible 'threshold of denial' - refusing to acknowledge the harsh reality that our profession's job market exercises exclusionary criteri... |

I've learned in twenty years in management that increasing one's perspective increases th... |
