| No-Nos For New Jobs by Karen Burns A friend just landed a new job! Woo-hoo! She phoned with the good news and then asked this question, “Do you have any tips for how I should act my first week on the job?” Ha. Of course, WG has tips. Weirdly, they seem to all be negative–what not to do. Hmmm. Anyway, here they are:... | |||
| Should I Quit My Job? by Karen Burns Seems like an insane question, doesn’t it? Nowadays most people are just trying to hold on to the jobs they’ve got. But say you have a really awful job. You hate, despise, loathe it. It pays like dirt, you have no chance of improving it, and it makes every single day of your life an... | |||
| Tick, Tick, Tick by Karen Burns Doncha hate meetings? Most do. But even though they’re often an enormous waste of time, meetings still happen in every business, every day. Consider these ways to make meetings shorter. Some are so obvious it hurts. Some are sort of mean. Only hold a meeting if it’s really necess... | |||
| Five Words You Don’t Want to Be Caught Saying After a Layoff by Mary Sherwood Sevinsky Today a long time friend was laid off “unexpectedly” – she was given no notice and turned in her company computer and phone on the spot. Nothing against her employer (business IS business), but she was left ill-prepared, to say the least. “I have a few cards,” she told me in a flat mon... | |||
| Office Politics Dos and Don'ts by Alexandra Levit DO - Set boundaries as to how you use various social networks (e.g. Facebook for personal, LinkedIn for professional) and make sure you communicate those boundaries so that feelings aren't hurt. DON'T let your boss and co-workers catch you chatting and playing with Facebook applicatio | |||
| Three Common Job-Search Problems by Kevin Donlin Recently, I surveyed 159 job seekers by email, asking them this question: "What is the biggest problem in your job search right now?" The responses were intriguing and I had a hard time boiling the problems down to a manageable number to answer here. But I did. So, here are thre... | |||
| Tell-Tail Characteristics of Company Culture by Rob Taub Many companies today promote building teams over individuals; respecting the entry-level mailroom clerk and the top salesperson equally; consider failure the beginning not the end of developing talents and careers; and where ‘Values’ are not fads. Still in other companies you will find a l... | |||
| Would You Brush a Hippo’s Teeth? by Dawn Bugni As you may already know, I ran a pet sitting service in addition to my resume writing enterprise. (October 5th I notified clients I was shutting down.) If you think working for corporate America is demanding, try caring for someone’s animals in their own home. Goodness me, the stories I co... | |||
| Is it Time To Say Goodbye - Why It Might Be The Right Time To Quit Your Job, Even In The Current Economy by Debra Wheatman Is it the time? Do you really think so? Even in this economy? Quit your job. There, I said it. Many of us think about it. You think to yourself “I would love to get out of here – permanently.” How do you determine when it’s time to go? I speak to many people who lament their current work s... | |||
| To Temp Or Not To Temp - That Is The Question by Debra Wheatman Working in a temporary position or on a contract assignment can be a great way to dip your big toe in the pool to see if you actually want to go for a swim. Frankly, I like the idea of temping – it’s try before you (potentially) buy. You can really get the ‘lay of the land’ and avoid buyer... | |||
| Could a Union Be Coming to a Cubicle Near You? by Anita Bruzzese My Dad was a blue-collar worker. His favorite job was working on the railroad, but the only job I really remember him having was at an oil refinery in Oklahoma. It was a dangerous, dirty job, but he never complained. He worked at that oil refinery for several decades, until one day they... | |||
| Dangling Carrots Wilt by Nan S. Russell "Red tape. Infighting. Office politics. Employee morale. Can't get things done. Lack of communication. Layers of bureaucracy. Not valued. Rude, difficult people. Indecision. Lack of support. Inconsistency. No clear direction." These are sample answers from readers to a Winning at Working s... | |||
