It's July 1st 2010, Canada Day,and exactly half way through 2010. Time to review the goals and resolutions set at the beginning of the year, evaluate my progress and adjust, if necessary, to achieve them by December 31st, 2010.
I've been very busy this year and am on track with many of my goals. Several of them are focused on my business: get my website back up, start a business focused blog, finish the Get That Job book, start and finish and self-publish Future Pull, and get a newspaper column. The website is half done, I'm still working on Get That Job but the first draft of Future Pull is almost done. I wasn't able to get a 'real' newspaper column - at least not one on paper -but I am now the Toronto Career Coach Examiner on http://www.examiner.com/ and have two articles live as of today: http://www.examiner.com/x-56569-Toronto-Career-Coach-Examiner
And this is the blog. This blog, as the name implies, is dedicated primarily to answering questions related to anything career related. They could be about how to make a career decision, how to plan your career, whether to take a particular job over a different one, how to apply for a job, how to get a job in another city, what should go into a resume and what shouldn't, whether you should apply online or not, how to write a cover letter, how to deal with sticky questions in an interview, who to give as a reference when you don't have any references. The list is potentially endless because every question leads to another.
After so many years and so many clients I have answered thousands of questions, simple and complex. Because so many of them are the same ones over and over and over again, I've come to the conclusion that it would be helpful to just publish them and get them out there for anyone who wonders to get an answer.
If you are reading this, and you obviously are, I hope you'll submit a question. But in the meantime, I have a lot of them saved up and I won't be running out for some time. Stay tuned.
