LinkedIn Summary: A missed opportunity

Submitted by sfrederick on May 2, 2012 - 11:09am

The LinkedIn summary is a truly different way of talking about and marketing yourself. Unfortunately, many people miss this opportunity. I see a lot of profiles which have no Summary at all.

Afraid You'll Lose Your Job? This can save you time, effort, money, and much more...

Submitted by sfrederick on March 23, 2012 - 11:55am

This short article could save you a lot of time, effort, money, and something priceless:  samples of your work.  You see, people like Donna are often let go without warning.  She went to work, thinking it was just another day.  Then, she was summoned to the conference room, where a Human Resources manager informed her she was no longer needed.  She was escorted to her desk to retrieve her purse and personal belongings, then out of the building.  This was a major disaster for Donna.

Home improvement retailer Home Depot said Thursday it has started to hire 70,000 seasonal workers for the spring, the company’s busiest selling and hiring season.
Spring is the busiest season for all home improvement retailers as home owners work on projects for their homes, gardens and lawns.
Job seekers can begin applying online now at this website. Hiring will begin ramping up over the next several weeks on a market-by-market basis, based on the needs of individual stores and as spring climates begin to approach, the company said.
Temporary positions can lead to permanent jobs, according to Tim Crow, executive vice president for Human Resources.
About half of The Home Depot’s 2011 seasonal hires stayed on in permanent positions as cashiers, sales associates, lot associates and garden associates, he said.

Diagnosed with a serious illiness? What should you tell an employer?

• Disclosing MS on the Job: A Tool to Help You Consider Your Options by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society
"The decision to disclose personal medical information in the workplace is a complex one, requiring careful thought and planning. Although there may be good reasons to disclose medical information and very specific benefits to doing so, any decision you make today has immediate and long-term implications for your employment that need to be considered. So it’s important to weigh your options carefully before making a decision to disclose — keeping in mind that once information is given, it can never be taken back." Go to this website and use the MS Society's "Dislosure Tool" to help you with the decision process.
