"Thank you for your interest in our ________ position but...." We've all been there. The canned reply that screams REJECTION. The truth is, in this digital age, we're exposed to way more rejection than ever before. Employers have made it easier and easier to apply, thus increasing the number of applicants... ultimately increasing the number of people who inevitably will be “rejected”

One of the most common questions among professionals across the globe is “Can I really find a job I enjoy?” The answer is “ABSOLUTELY!” While there isn’t an exact step-by-step checklist you can follow to figure it out, I have put together a 4-part framework to get you moving in the right direction. The key is to RISE - review, identify, solidify and engage.

Let’s address the elephant in the room. Today's resume is much different from the resume that worked 10 years ago. And the truth is, most people are still following those outdated practices and really just need to start their resume over - from scratch.

If I were to ask you if you’ve settled in your career, what would your response be? The hard truth is that most people don’t even realize that not only have they settled, but they’re actually currently stuck in the settling cycle. And it’s this vicious cycle that keeps many professionals from ever achieving career satisfaction.

Your career summary acts as a teaser for the rest of your resume; you need to give the recruiter/hiring manager a reason to want to read more. Not sure what that looks like? Well, you're in luck because I'm telling you exactly how!

In order to be successful in today's workforce, it's critical that you master soft skills. While technical skills provide you with the know-how to complete your assigned tasks, soft skills are essential for building and sustaining rich relationships.

Remember, your resume is an extension of you and your brand - it shouldn't just be a random assortment of job duties, skills and accomplishments. Your resume is meant to tell a story, with you as the author!
