Sailing Captain’s License Training Online!
December 11th, 2011One of the phenomenon we see in the career planning field is some folks “find” themselves in terms of what their passion really is and then they figure out how to turn that passion into a career! Sometimes when that happens it can be confusing. Confusing because you’ve been working mostly in areas you are NOT passionate about. Meaning if any “certifications” and “formal credentials” are needed you may not know where to turn. Well, I found a great place for those whose passion is sailing. You may have even discovered through some form of “self-assessment” that sailing and being the captain of a boat is what you really want to do. However, you may not have been in the military which is a great training ground for that work; or, may never have sailed much at all. So how do you gain the training equivalent to USCG Captains License in the sailing world? Use the link you just say and check out that site. Now, I’ve looked at the site and there are several levels of “captaincy” one can train for and this site provides the help needed to meet all those standards.
Job Search – Some Tough Interview Questions
December 11th, 2011 asked:
As the job market opens up, and firms begin the hiring process once again, there is much competition for each job available. This means that you have to use every possible avenue, and your creativity, in order to be noticed, and contacted for an interview. How will you stand out from the competition?
In follow-up to my earlier article inter-viewing-techniques/, I would like to explore some of the questions you can anticipate hearing in your interviews during the course of your job search.
Assuming you have conducted all of your research thoroughly prior to your first interview with your potential new employer, you may want to consider the questions that will be asked of you during phase one of the hiring process.
One of the most common questions asked in the initial interview process is ‘Why should we hire you’?
Do you have an intelligent response to this question, or are you assuming that your resume and references speak for themselves? Perhaps you are of the belief that the electronic Portfolio you also submitted would do the talking for you.

Job Search Advice From 4 Interviewers – Beat Your Competition!
December 11th, 2011 asked:
Ronald Reagan once said: “A recession is when your friend loses their job. A depression is when you lose yours.”
We’re hovering on the edge of a recession and having well honed job hunting skills is something which is increasingly important for American and European workers.
Just out of interest – Americans get frantic about a possible recession when the unemployment rate goes over 5%. However, in many European countries, the normal unemployment rate is closer to 10% – this is largely due to different measurement standards and a higher percentage of people receiving government assistance. On the other hand, it is a lot harder to fire someone in most European countries.
Our first piece of job search advice is to examine your monthly income versus your expenses and also to look at the rate at which you will go through your savings if you become unemployed.
Obviously, the longer that you can afford to spend looking for a job before you burn through your saving, the better off you will be in the long run. While you look for work, you may be able to do freelance work, if this is applicable to your field. In fact, in some fields, such as copywriting, editing and programming, you can make a good income on the side this way.

Is it common knowledge that an employee plans to accelerate his/her career?
December 7th, 2011Mr. Flo asked:
In working with the Government I’ve seen individuals who are young and gone far and those who are old and moved no where. Do employers generally expect you to stay in the same place for years or can they expect you will move at the first opportunity?

I don’t want to tell an employer that I’ll leave in a month if it means a better opportunity but it’s the truth and there’s always someone on my heels to fill my position.

New Job Search? Keep It Positive!
November 30th, 2011 asked:
Millions of people are searching for new jobs because of the downturn in our economy. Many are unemployed. Many are underemployed. Others have good jobs, but are looking to change companies or careers. Nearly every family I know has been affected in one way or another.
Recent college graduates are finding their job search to be a difficult, uphill struggle, and are facing extreme competition at job fairs and job banks as employers have the cream of the crop to choose from. Job listings in many categories including healthcare jobs, sales jobs, even entry level jobs may seem abundant, but competition is fierce.
But here is the good news – the economy is showing signs of improvement, and I believe the job market is in the early stages of expanding. As a job seeker, the best thing you can do to improve your odds of landing a new job sooner, rather than later, is to be organized in your job search, and take advantage of the many resources available to you in your online job search.
