Techniques For Frequent Job Changers
[2003-03-31] Since 1997 I have had several job changes as a result of downsizings,
market crashes or company foldings. During some of the breaks in employment I
worked as an independent consultant. Prior to that I had a fairly stable employment
history. This recent spate of job changes usually comes up at interviews. Usually
I demonstrate the most of the changes are the result of conditions beyond my control.
What would be an effective strategy when presenting your employment history?

Get
The Raise Or Promotion You Deserve
[2003-03-31] Do your annual performance reviews come and go with no particular
recognition of the contributions to your organization? Start a work journal to
track your performance. It’s similar to a diary in that you must keep it faithfully,
week-by-week, if it's to have any value to your career. It can be a comprehensive
record of your achievements on the job as a paid employee and also your non-paid
activities at work. It should be detailed enough to record your contributions
to progress, productivity, efficiency, cost cutting, problem solving, etc.
