Another Recipe for Lemonade
Most of us go to industry conferences all the time. If the ones you attend are anything like most that I have been to, they usually have a keynote speaker to kind of kick things off and get people energized. Also, and if you are anything like me, you have heard really good ones and some “not so good.” Like everyone else, it is hard for me to get “energized” and in a positive frame of mind Six-Figure Learnings -

Long-Term Unemployed? Go Back to the Drawing Board to Develop Your Sense of Motivation
By Todd Bavol, The Job Search Ninja. CEO, Integrity Career Transitions As I pointed out towards the end of yesterday’s post, drifting aimlessly through even a short-term job search campaign soon becomes demoralizing and demotivating, let alone one which extends into many months or even years. Blind, unfocussed efforts which don’t involve knowing where you are trying to get to and not having a roadmap to get you there, can only lead to intermittent activity and, most likely, rejected...

What Is Diversity? - By Lila Kelly
When I mentioned the word "diversity" over ten years ago, most people said, "What's that?" Now we hear the word a lot, so much so that some people call it "the 'D' word." In the college course that I teach on "Managing a Diverse Workforce," students come to the first class either not really understanding what diversity is or thinking they know quite a bit about it. Often they say that after even the first class, they realized that diversity... Minnesota Jobs -
