By Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D. I've got a pair of sneakers that I can't bear to throw out. They've got holes and they're worn, but they are SO comfortable. Problem is... they're not good for my feet and they're subject to wearing out at any time. Maybe you've got an old chair or even an old car you just can't bear to part with. We've all been there. All too often, some of us also get attached to old jobs that feel SO comfortable. For example: Jeff took a job as a bartender after he dropped out of school and couldn't get a job. He made good tips and now he's still doing the same job. He's got a lot of outside interests - he's also an artist - so he's kind of let his day job go by. Maria had been a corporate executive. When she moved to a new city for family reasons, she accepted a job as a teller in a small bank. She can't move up and she can't move out in the same town.
She's starting to get restless - and her boss seems to be wondering why she's still there. Martin started a business as a life coach. He wasn't very successful. So he accepted an online job that fell into his lap, where he developed online training programs for a medium-sized company. The work was easy and fun. Originally, Martin figured he'd use the money from this job to support his business with technology and assistants, but he soon got SO comfortable. His salary began to feel like an allowance or veterans benefit. These examples are composites and they're pretty extreme. But many of us fall into patterns that lead to career lethargy. What's the problem? Well, when you're treading water at the local pool, you don't develop skills in competitive ocean swimming. You get comfortable. And then you

LCRED Approves Governor's Nominee, Jeanne Paquette, as Maine Department Labor Commissioner AUGUSTA — Deputy Commissioner of Labor Jeanne Paquette’s nomination for Commissioner of Labor was approved by the Legislature’s Committee on Labor, Commerce, Research and Economic Development (LCRED). In a 10-0 vote, LCRED unanimously decided in favor of recommending her to the Maine Senate for confirmation. Paquette will now go before the Maine Senate for hearing and confirmation vote on Thursday, September 6, 2012. If confirmed by the Senate, she will serve as the Commissioner of the Maine Department of Labor. Paquette has served as Deputy Commissioner of the Maine Department of Labor since July 2011. “I am pleased LCRED has approved Deputy Commissioner Paquette. Her knowledge of the Department of Labor, experience with employment issues, and dedication to Maine’s workforce make her a fitting candidate for this position. I wish her well in the final steps of the confirmation process,” said Governor LePage. Paquette began her testimony by recalling her Maine ancestors and considering what their advice would be to her as commissioner, “What would these and others say to me as I take on this job in these difficult times? Well, I believe they would tell me…to work hard, listen to all sides, be honest, trust your gut and don’t make it about you…make it about the citizens of Maine. And that’s exactly what I intend to do.” Paquette has worked as deputy commissioner since July 2011; there, her previous experiences as a business owner and a human resources specialist inform her understanding of how the Department of Labor interacts with both employees and employers. She has more than 20 years’ experience in human resources management, where she specialized in both training and management development. Her background in human resources led her to found several industry-related publications and websites, including the Employment Times, HR Times and MyJobWave.com. Prior to founding her media businesses in 1999, which later
merged with Sun Media Group, Paquette held the position of vice president, human resources at Androscoggin Bank based in Lewiston, Maine. She has also previously served as the director of human resources at Creative Work Systems, a non-profit serving people with disabilities. She has served as a past member of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the Maine Jobs Council and several non-profit boards. “Throughout my life, my goal has been to connect good people with good jobs and careers, and I see the role of Commissioner as continuing that mission. I know that creating more opportunities to put Maine people to work in meaningful, permanent jobs is a goal of both this administration and this legislature,” Paquette told the committee. In 2012, Paquette was inducted into the Society for Human Resource Management Maine State Council’s HR Hall of Fame, which honors individuals who helped set the stage or evolve the human resources profession in Maine. She holds an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Dean College, in Franklin, Mass., and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from Kean University in Union, New Jersey. She and her family reside in North Yarmouth. The Department of Labor administers Maine’s unemployment insurance system, is responsible for ensuring the safety of public employees and provides workforce development leadership and vocational rehabilitation services throughout the state. Under the LePage Administration, the department has focused on connecting Mainers to jobs and helping businesses create jobs through strengthening our workforce development system, improving outreach to businesses and clarifying employment regulations. The mission of the Department of Labor is to serve Maine workers and businesses by providing assistance and retraining when jobs are lost; helping people prepare for and find jobs; protecting workers and researching and analyzing employment data to support job growth.

FAME and ASA to tackle college affordability, student debt in Maine First-of-its-kind collaboration utilizes new model to deliver financial education and debt management services free-of-charge to students and alumni
AUGUSTA — The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) has partnered with American Student Assistance (ASA) to revolutionize how Maine collegegoers finance and repay their higher education costs. Through the innovative educational membership program SALTSM, functionally powered by ASA and administered in Maine by FAME, Maine college students and alumni will receive financial literacy and proactive education debt management services free-of-charge. SALT is the industry-leading financial empowerment program created by ASA to improve the financial capabilities of college students and alumni, as well as to assist student loan borrowers once they enter repayment. In addition to one-on-one counseling and guidance, students and alumni will have access to online tools as part of ASA’s membership program, including: a highly interactive, experience-based financial education curriculum; a
personalized dashboard by which students may track their loans; interactive calculators; access to job and scholarship searches; and other benefits and rewards to help reduce the cost of attending college. FAME will launch a pilot version of the program this fall when students return to class. The pilot program will include up to nine participating Maine colleges and universities and will be funded by the Maine College Access Challenge Grant. Students should contact their college directly for more information about SALT. As a public purpose, nonprofit organization, ASA is committed to offering SALT services free of charge to student and alumni members by sharing the costs of service delivery with like-minded stakeholders who want to develop student financial capabilities. Since SALT’s launch earlier this year, more than eighty colleges and universities from across the country have signed up to give their students and alumni
access to the program. FAME is the first non-college entity to partner with SALT. “This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between two student loan service providers to address the problems of college affordability and student debt,” stated ASA President Paul Combe. “This kind of creative solution is critical, especially because our nation’s higher education system traditionally does not include these types of proactive activities that teach students the best way to pay for college and manage the resulting debt. We believe the Maine initiative can serve as a replicable model for other states wrangling with these issues,” he added. According to the Project on Student Debt and the Class of 2010, Maine ranks second in the nation for the highest debt level among four-year college graduates, with an average of $29,983 per student. At an
interest rate of 6.8 percent, such debt translates into average monthly payments of $345 for more than 10 years, with total interest expected to be repaid totaling $11,422. “Maine students often try to navigate the college financing and loan repayment waters with inadequate knowledge of the process and without thinking through the consequences of their indebtedness,” said FAME Chief Executive Officer Beth Bordowitz. “FAME has many initiatives in place to provide that knowledge. With the launch of SALT, FAME is providing another opportunity for Maine students to be better prepared to plan their futures.” Previous ASA programs have demonstrated that students provided with proactive, customized and targeted communication, such as those provided via SALT, are 50 percent less likely to fail in loan repayment.

How Important is it that we Love our Jobs? Work/life balance expert Jim Bird (www.worklifebalance.com) says we hear all the time how important it is to have jobs we love. Yet most people he knows don’t love their work. They either accept it or tolerate it. And that’s okay, Bird says. He points out that while it’s not necessary to be passionate about your job, you should be passionate about how well you do the job. Why? Because that’s what you do for yourself. Lacking passion for your job doesn’t necessarily mean you’re living your life less well than the individual who is passionate about work. Your passion may surface in regard to other areas of your life. Bird offers these suggestions for generating more ardor for living: • Write the essay or book that’s been in the back of your mind. • Take a class in a subject that engrosses you. • Teach a class in the subject that engrosses you. • Cook dinners that will make your friends swoon. • Go to your favorite sporting events. • Let the people you’re closest to know how much you adore them.

When you need to get your team brainstorming new ideas, you might want to suggest this exercise. Give each person a notebook and pen and ask them to write “What if …” at the top of the page. Then have them write 10 sentences that being with “What if …” Allow everyone time to come up with ideas, but ask them to try to come up with 10 sentences even if what they write down seems ridiculous. This helps loosen everyone up and sets the tone in which real creativity can flourish.
The key is to set aside time for doing whatever it is you love to do. The first step is deciding you’re going to do it. The important second step, Bird says, is to go for it.
