It is part of my job to find different vendors for a wide array of interactive Marketing activities, and I’ve started to notice that Sales People don’t seem to want to sell anything to me.
I try to be objective and think that it may be that since most companies let some people go at the [...]
2009 is almost over and just about every blogger, online journalist and publications is publishing an article or post about the past year. I tend to be a reflective person anyway so I spend a lot of time thinking about what I’ve done wrong, how I could have done something differently or better etc. I think it has to do with my OCD.
I saw this and wanted to share it with all of you.
What happens when people lose their motivation at work?
Less efficient use of resources
Less creative solutions (at a time when creativity is even more vital)
Less productivity
And worse, the possibility of security breaches and risks. Some companies learned this lesson the hard way: TMobile in [...]
My last post about the lack of stability in modern careers spurred some thoughtful comments about employee loyalty so I thought I would write about that.
Loyalty is a great quality to have as an employee. It means you are always looking out for your employers best interest and that you more than likely work hard [...]
I have a secret. Well, not so much a secret but a fact about myself I thought was a secret – I crave stability especially in my career. Apparently everyone already knows this. I want the perfect job and for me that means it will be challenging, pay well, will be at a company I believe in and that I will work with and for smart and ambitious yet nice people.

Since my engagement I’ve been subjected to countless comments about marrying to young, the divorce rate when you marry before 30, and asked “why would you want to be married so young?” Let me just say that I have never regretted getting married when I did, but that isn’t what this post is about. This [...]
Reading Penelope Trunk’s Blog with my morning coffee, I had to chuckle at her answer for the everyday more common question of: “How can I change careers without taking a pay cut?”, her answer will follow me for the rest of my life, and I want to share it with you:
“A: You cannot change careers [...]
A recent post yielded a comment asking about career changes with some specific questions on this topic. I responded that I would write a post about this topic but other issues came up that spurred posts on different aspects of careers. Then, on Friday I received an email about a friend who was thinking of changing careers and wanted some advice. With so many people unemployed or underemployed (now I sound like a RETS commercial) this is the perfect time to discuss how to go about changing careers and what this means for your career (re: earning) potential.
Not too long ago, a wise man I truly respect with business advice, told me: “in business, anything you would say during a normal conversation, will be accepted as networking…“; today I got to prove it.
Someone gave my name as a reference for a service I use as part of my marketing efforts (not to [...]
This is the basic idea of most things in life, and we all learned this either early in school or early in our careers; whatever you are selling, you should make it easy to buy.
This weekend I had the misfortune of breaking the rear glass of my Mustang Convertible (yes, I’m bragging), and spent some [...]
