Sometimes you do have to reinvent the wheel By C. A. Stapleton
If you are wedged into a job search rut, it may be time to re-evaluate what you are doing, or not doing, to find a position. From your resume to the interview, you should assess and re-assess as you receive, or don’t receive, those all-important calls for an interview. And, if you aren’t receiving calls, then your deductive skills should tell you that your cover letter and/or resume are the

A little time management might be just the thing Do you need to manage your time at work? Who doesn’t, right? But if you really want to shine at work, one of the first things you’re going to have to take control of is your time. It always seems like there’s not enough time to accomplish everything when you’re working hard, but Bob Nelson, in “1,001 Ways to Take Initiative at Work,â€? says there are some steps you can take to rescue your time. Here is some of his advice: • When you get to the end of your day, make a to-do list for tomorrow. Put whatever's most important to accomplish at the top of your list. That way, when you walk in, you’ll know just what you need to do and where to start. • Make a commitment to arrive at work a half hour early every day. That way, you can get started on whatever’s most important and work without interruption for that period of time. • Don’t jump down on your list to lower priority tasks until you have made enough progress that you are satisfied on your higher priority tasks. • Use a calendar and plan. It will organize you, and you won't have to spend time asking what you're supposed to be doing. You’ll already know. • Go through your in-box at least once a day and prioritize it. • Say goodbye to unimportant meetings. If you don’t need to be there, don’t go. It will waste your time, and your list won’t get any smaller. • Focus on what only you can do. Then, when possible, delegate to others. • Take a couple of hours every week to sit down and look at your big picture goals. Are you getting there. Set or reset goals appropriately. • Learn to say no. Be polite, but firm. Otherwise, you won’t have the focus or energy to attain your goals.

Effective ways to manage stress in the workplace (ARA) – From paltry paychecks to annoying coworkers, more than three quarters of Americans are stressing out about something related to their job, according to a new study.
Speech-Language Pathologist
PRESQUE ISLE RANGELEY ROCKLAND ROCKPORT S. THOMASTON SACO SALEM SKOWHEGAN ST. AGATHA ST. ALBANS ST. GEORGE STONINGTON TENANTS HARBOR THOMASTON THORNDIKE TRENTON TROY
The vast majority of Americans (77 percent) are stressed by at least one thing at work, finds the Harris Interactive-Everest College Work Stress Survey. The most common issues are: low pay, commuting, unreasonable workload and concern over being fired or laid off. But these are not the only issues American workers are facing annoying coworkers also made the list, followed by difficulty with a boss, poor work-life balance and lack of opportunity for advancement. "We've seen numerous surveys that confirm workplace stress has increased during the last several years," says Wendy Cullen, vice president of employer development for Everest College.
makes you better able to manage emotional swings. There are also important strategies in your workplace that can help you deal with stress. Do not over-commit to non-essential tasks. Prioritize important tasks, and learn to delegate nonessential ones. Also, you can schedule regular breaks into your daily routine to allow yourself to get away from your workstation or office. Additionally, Brimsburg suggests that getting help can be effective. "Counseling can be very helpful in relieving signs and symptoms of stressrelated issues."
NOW HIRING
Concerns over low pay and job security are consistently one of the top stressors for Americans. In most regions of the U.S., 16 percent of Americans listed low pay as their top stressor, and concerns over job security were a close second. For example, 13 percent of college graduates ranked losing their job as the biggest stressor, which is in line with Americans without college degrees. "One change we are seeing is that more and more Americans are pursuing careers in industries like health care, which offers more long-term stability." Switching careers or going back to school to gain access to a more secure or better paying career is one technique that many individuals use to deal with insecurity in the workplace. How to deal with stress "The impact of stress cannot be overstated," says Davis Brimberg, a Los Angeles-based psychologist who focuses on workplace issues. "Almost all psychological problems are worsened by stress. People of all occupations and income levels are greatly affected," he says. Workplace stress can have negative consequences on your performance at work, and your life. There are a number of techniques for dealing with workplace stress. First, learn to recognize the symptoms - you may feel a constant sense of nervousness, which can often lead to feeling withdrawn, irritable or apathetic. Stress is also associated with physical problems, such as fatigue and muscle tension. Physical exercise is also shown to help with stress management. Aerobic exercises have been shown to release mood-raising endorphins, so getting 30 minutes of exercise a day can actually help decrease your stress levels. It is also important to get enough sleep, which can help your body deal with the effects of stress throughout the day, and

What, in fact, does it mean to be reasonable? What does it mean to be unreasonable? And what does it mean to reason? According to James Allen in “As a Man Thinketh”, when we declare someone as being unreasonable, we usually mean that he or she is violating the ideal of thinking about something and arriving at the “truth” of a situation by using intellect. So it follows that people who are dubbed reasonable in situations are looked upon as using their higher powers of intellect to make a decision and in ways that are likely considered gentle and compassionate. Now, we've all been unreasonable in life at one time or another – that is we've lost touch with our higher selves and resorted to our lower faculties during which we behaved in ways that were likely considered unthinking and selfish. Most people feel unhappy or undone when they abandon reason for something more akin to animal behavior. But how does a person remain reasonable throughout some of the stressful situations that seem to be just around each corner in life? Here are some tips for trying to maintain your equilibrium in life's trials: • Stop before you speak or act. Think about what you are about to say or do? Is it unkind? Is it vengeful? Is it self-centered? If so, you may have just thrown off the cloak of reason and donned unreasonableness. • Is what you are considering saying or doing sweet and forgiving? Is it gently persuasive? • Is what you are about to do or say based on any type of prejudice? • Are you trying to prove or disprove something? • Have you carefully weighed and considered everything important about the situation? • Is what you are about to do or say kind, moderate and just?

Resume
Once you’ve chosen a style (formal, informal, professional, elegant, etc.) you’ll need to make sure you have dates for all the positions you’ve held that you intend to include. A good rule of thumb to follow is to list the last ten years of employment unless you have had more than five positions in those ten years. If you have had five positions in the last five or six years then list only those, but be prepared to answer questions from your interviewer on why you have “job hopped” so much. The interviewer may not use that term exactly, but that is what they are thinking, so have a good answer ready.

Career dead-end may lead to fruitful reinvention By Marcia Heroux Pounds, Sun Sentinel (MCT) FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – When South Florida real estate agent Anna Collins saw the bottom drop out of the market, she needed a new career. Today, she is a comedian who performs at local comedy clubs. Jan Rutter was a longtime singer and dancer on cruise ships, but she had to hang up her tap shoes when she lost her voice. Now Rutter is a private investigator. After Fort Lauderdale, Fla., resident Bennett Mazor lost his job as an inventory manager, he found he wasn't passionate about some aspects of his former job. He recently found a new job as a staffing consultant. When a job is no longer viable, workers are forced to reinvent themselves. For some, it might lead to an even brighter future.
Fogel said. “Do an assessment of your industry and your company. Do I still like my industry? Where is my industry going to be next week or next year? Do I still have the passion? Then decide whether you want to work for someone else or start your own venture, said Fogel, author of “Reboot Your Career.” “I’m used to being on my own, sink or swim. But a 9-to-5 person may not be a good fit” for an entrepreneurial pursuit, he said. “I examined what I’m good at and what I like to do,” said Collins, 55. As a baby boomer, Collins has found a niche for her humor, launching “Beyond Complicated,” a boomerthemed comedy show with Fogel on Internet radio, TalkZone.com. She also has authored two humor books.
Think about your “unique selling proposition” — what you are better at than your competition, said Peter Fogel, a Delray Beach, Fla., speaker and copywriter who has reinvented himself several times.
Rutter was devastated when at age 47 she lost her voice and could no longer perform. But she moved on by considering what she could do: She loves talking to people, and has always been interested in mystery and detective stories.
“The first thing you have to do is define the reality of the situation,”
She enrolled in private investigator classes, reasoning that she at least had

the wardrobe for a private investigating gig. “If I ever have to go undercover, I have plenty of wigs,” Rutter said. After graduating, she attended association meetings to get to know other private investigators. Now 52, Rutter is building her business slowly by doing contract work for other agencies. It helps to be passionate about your choice. Mazor, 46, was an inventory manager for a South Florida retailer for

12 years. What he enjoyed most about the job was coordinating planning with vendors, merchandisers and others; he least enjoyed analyzing the data. “I liked being the glue, keeping everyone on task,” he said. He applied for inventory management jobs, got interviews, but wasn't getting offers. He turned to a career coach who told him: “I don’t feel your passion.” Mazor then talked about his passions,

Continued from page 6... which include helping people. “I like the reward and sense of accomplishment,” he said. They discussed the occupations where he could transfer his skills, and one was “recruiter.” Through contacts he gained during his job search, Mazor set up informational meetings with recruiting agencies. He was offered a job at TransHire in Fort Lauderdale within seven days of making the decision to switch careers. “When you find your passion, it’s pretty powerful,” he said. Getting an employer to take a chance on someone who has no experience in a field is difficult, especially in this job market. But Mazor was given a two-week trial run to find out if the day-to-day activities of a recruiter really suited him. They did, and he was offered a permanent job because the agency owner liked “his desire to learn.” Think of yourself as a marketer when exploring your potential career, Fogel said. “Am I going to make money at this? Find someone at the top of the food chain and ask, ‘Should I get into this now?’ “ Unexpected barriers to entry can hamstring a career change. Like Rutter’s, a new career may require going back to school.
Employment Times - ME • NH
And switching careers may entail a pay cut. When Collins was a real estate agent in the hey-days, she was making more than $100,000 a year. “I was at the Capital Grille three times a week. After I got out of real estate, I’m eating grilled cheese....I went from Coach bags to sitting in coach,” she quipped. Although she makes half the income she once did, Collins is happy with her choice: “Having a lot of money is the best, but you have to like what you’re doing.” Rutter also used to make more money performing on cruise ships, but she thinks her private investigation business will continue growing to provide more income. Her goal is to eventually employ others. Mazor says he expects as a recruiter to earn compensation equal to or greater than his former inventory management job. With base pay plus commission, “I have a greater earnings potential than I did in corporate America, and that was very attractive,” he said. ___ (c) 2011, Sun Sentinel.

Career trends every student should know about (ARA) – Despite less than stellar job growth over the past few years, college graduates remain in demand. In fact, employers plan to hire 19.5 percent more 2011 college graduates than they did in 2010, which is up nearly 6 percent since 2009-2010, according to a recent Job Outlook study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). But today’s job market is not your parents' job market. Huge demographic and employment trends are changing the way America works, and would-be employees will need to remain flexible. Here are some tips to help you stay on top of the career market: First, expect to change jobs numerous times in your career. In today’s career world, job stability does not always equal job security. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics reports that the average person born in the latter half of the baby boom has held an average of 11 jobs, and that three-fifths of those job changes occurred between the ages of 18 and 27. “The U.S. economy is fundamentally changing, and employees can no longer expect to work their way up the company ladder,” says Patti LoPresti, campus president at Everest College-Portland.
Staying positive can be hard in today's world, but here's one small way to work a little positivity in your daily routine. Each day, before you sit down to work, grab a small piece of paper and write a nice thought down about someone you work with. Later, when you see that person, work your positive thought into your conversation. It's a small way of making the world just a little nicer, and it just takes a minute to plan and a short time to deliver.
www.MyJobWave.com
Second, know where the jobs are. “Our nation is experiencing huge demographic and economic changes, which are creating major shifts in the types of jobs available today,” says Veronica Tarango, director of education at Everest College-West Los Angeles. “Students should prepare themselves for a changing job market.” In particular, even though the U.S. economy is expected to grow by 10 percent between 2008-2018, these jobs will not be evenly distributed across all industries, according to Bureau of
Employment Times - ME • NH
Labor statistics. With many baby-boomers set to retire in the coming decade, and a growing youth population, many service-related professions from teaching to elder care are going to see significant growth. “One of the fastest growing sectors in the coming decade will be the health care sector,” notes LoPresti. Projections indicate that about 26 percent of all jobs in the coming decade will be in the health care industry, which is expected to add approximately 4 million jobs to the U.S. economy. Third, consider going back to school for additional career training. Today’s job market requires that employees keep their skills current, and as a result, more and more adults are going back to school. “Students come to us to keep their skills up-to-date or get the credentials they need to advance in their careers,” says Tarango. “They find that it is increasingly necessary in today’s changing job market.” The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ occupational projections show that jobs requiring some form of postsecondary education will have greater growth through 2018 than those without. The greatest job growth is expected to be in careers that require an associate degree, which is expecting to see job growth of 19 percent. Job projections are also higher for careers that require post-secondary vocational credentials, at an estimated 13 percent, than those requiring only on-the-job training, which are expected to see only 8 percent growth. “Employers understand that a one- or two-year program can give new employees exactly the mix of academic learning and hands-on experience they need to excel in today’s changing job market,” says LoPresti.
