The Hard Worker and the Brilliant Jerk

June 10, 2013 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Here’s a scenario I have long tried to avoid throughout my career: The dilemma of having to fire someone. The economy made its turn for the worse recently; and obviously, the starting company I used to work for is suffering from all the losses and troubles that come with the meltdown. After a while, the powers that be had to tell me the inevitable – that we had to downsize and let go of some our … [Read more...]

The Working Parent’s Cheat Sheet to Successfully Juggling Career, Family & Life

June 1, 2013 By Nancy Leave a Comment

These are tough times. No home can survive solely on the concept of “dad brings home the bacon while mom stays at home.” It would certainly be an ideal situation to have one parent stay with the children all day while one parent works to keep the family alive. But jobs are few and far between. More and more young job seekers flood the market. Companies are tightening the hiring process to ensure … [Read more...]

Isn’t It Time to Stop Judging Yourself?

April 15, 2013 By Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

Bad habits aren’t limited to things like nail biting and procrastination. For women, one of the most common and insidious habits is being overly critical or judgmental of themselves. What’s worse, a pattern of self-criticism can become so ingrained, you might not even notice you’re doing it. “It’s a huge issue for women,” says Alice Domar, who has a doctorate in health psychology and is the … [Read more...]

Career and Household Harmony: Solutions to Common Work-from-Home Complaints

January 15, 2013 By mtotka Leave a Comment

For the uninitiated, working from home may sound like a walk in the park compared to the daily grind of an in-office role. Many people approach working from home wearing rose-colored glasses, as visions of sitting on the couch all day, feet up, answering emails in fuzzy slippers dancing through their heads. Working from home certainly has its benefits, and if all-day-pj-wearing is high on your … [Read more...]

The Working Mother’s Guide to FAQs

October 24, 2012 By Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

One of the most baffling truths that I’ve had to deal with upon returning to work after having my first child is that even other women question the choice of becoming a working mother. It didn’t even matter that some of them had kids of their own, too; they still asked me why I decided to come back to work when I had a tiny, lovable baby waiting for me at home. Back then, I found the questions … [Read more...]

3 Strategies for Thriving on Shift and Change for Your Career

April 23, 2012 By Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

You know that feeling when you dive into deep water and there’s an invisible but unmistakable line where you pass from warmth into significantly cooler water? In one instant, I passed through one level where I was managing one of AOL’s call centers, an operation of 250 people, seven days a week, to a completely different experience as the head of corporate training. I thought I was gearing down … [Read more...]

Keys to a successful interview: 3 timely tips

September 14, 2010 By Sylvia Browder Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what the person on the other side of the desk was thinking? Sometime when we interview we become caught up in a variety of emotions and fail to show the interviewer that we are the perfect candidate!  Overwhelmed by the possible questions they may ask, their posture, the jotting of notes on the pad, and the silence in the room, can lead to anxiety and an overall failed … [Read more...]
