Wise Words


Be Wise

Be Wise!Did you know that the way you sleep could aggravate your back?

For the best sleep position, lie on your side with your thighs drawn up toward your chest and a pillow between your legs. If your sleep on your back, support your knees and neck with pillows. And sleep on your stomach only if a small pillow cushions your lower abdomen.

Be Wise!Today's Job hunting Statistics and Strategy

Looking for a new job today is very different from looking for a job even five years ago. Here are a few statistics and tips to keep in mind when organizing your thoughts to formulate your plan.

1. 80% of new jobs today are acquired through networking.

2. You find a new job by as much as 40% faster when working with an employment coach.

3. As many as 48% of companies admit they have passed over or eliminated a candidate as a result of information they've discovered about a candidate on-line.

When looking for a new job today, "googling" yourself at least once a week is a must! Make sure your resume contains POWERFUL content, not just duties or responsibilities have a networking strategy in order and only then hit the ground running!

Happy hunting!
