[2003-05-27] The Concept of the 'Free Agent' in the Workplace

[2003-05-23] What Hiring Managers Really Look For In Resumes And Cover Letters
"There has also been a lot of spin about how long or short a resume should be. From my perspective as a recruiter, a resume should be as long as necessary. For example, a candidate with five years' experience should not require a 3-page resume. Or, a candidate with 18 years' experience should not be reduced to a 1-page resume. Length of resume depends entirely on each individual situation. There is no formula or rule etched in stone. If a recruiter is working with a Ph.D. candidate, then a resume may be 3, 4 or 5 pages, or even longer. So be it. If it's relevant, promote it. If you're pontificating, don't."

[2003-05-16] Follow Your Intuitive Guidance to Find Your True Work
The word intuition means "in to you" in Latin. Florence Scovel, a theologian, once said, "Intuition is the spiritual faculty that doesn't explain; it seemingly points the way." It's also been said that intuition
is your divine Spirit talking to you. If we stop for a moment and acknowledge this, we realize the incredible perspective we have. Unfortunately, this is a perspective we often choose to ignore because it is
an undeveloped skill. Using your intuition when making important decisions allows you to move along your path easily and effortlessly. You don't have to struggle and worry, because things fall naturally into place when you follow your inner nature. Developing your intuitive guidance (your inner voice) is essential to smart decision-making and career choices, and includes balancing your cognitive (thinking) abilities with your affective (feeling) abilities.
