Recently I attended a panel discussion led by senior level people who were asked to share key takeaways from their career journey.  What makes them successful?  Listed below are some of their ideas related to preparing resumes and interviewing for future positions. Develop the ability to communicate how your current and past skills are transferable to the new position you are seeking.  Link your current resume with future opportunities that may in fact be in a completely different field.  This contrasts with the mind set of “I’ve never done this before.” Develop the ability to move out of your comfort zone.  Look for ways to strengthen your self confidence if necessary.  Move away from fear and be willing to face the unknown.

If you’ve ever been in doubt about the wacky left,  you must look at this interview on NBC. How can any sane person draw this conclusion about the “tea parties?”   OK more on marriage tomorrow.

Last night with my family during dinner and over a very lively debate about government intrusion, the meaning of torture, unions and the evil “Wall Mart,” I was upbraided by my boys for blogging too much on the political scene (read as political deception).  So, as a compliant father would do, I’m going to devote the next few days to marriage and family counseling stuff.  Hope you enjoy and share with a friend.

I loved reading the slogans and singing patriotic songs and listening to those who had served their country .   I loved being  among...

Well, today’s the day.  We send more money to Washington for them to spread around using their wise and erudite discretion.  Making all things fair and equal.  Stop what you’re doing right now and look at your last pay stub.  Do you realize how much of our hard earned money is being sent away for someone else to decide how to spend?   Look up a tea party near you and get involved.  I’m going to try and attend one near Collegville at 6pm.  Yes I work during the day and can’t take off.  Hate it when I miss seeing “The View.”  Check out this cool web site.
