Chocolaty inspiration to help find your dream job - Hallie Crawford

Chocolaty inspiration to help find your dream job Last night I had the opportunity to speak for Georgia Tech Alumni Associations Waffle House Career Series. The topic was Live and Work with Passion and Purpose. It was an exciting and well attended event. There was great interaction and participation. We discussed how to bring passion into both your personal life and your career. Thank you to all those who came out! Inspiring example: A participant from last night, Michelle, said her dream job was to make chocolate. I talked to her more today, and I really believe she will make it happen. She is currently getting her MBA at Georgia Tech to learn how to run a business. She plans to open a retail or online store. She did an internship with a chocolate maker in Australia. I know she’ll make her dream a reality because she has a plan, has multiple options to make it happen in a practical way AND she has passion for it. This is something she really enjoys doing. What’s your passion? How will you make it happen? Atlanta Career Coach

Some Tips for Writing a Great Resume

Some Tips for Writing a Great ResumeIf you want to find a good job in Knoxville, a resume is very important. One thing that you must be aware of when looking for a job is the fact that resume writing can be very time consuming, but it can also be done very effectively if you know where to start.You must prepare your resume as soon as possible after you have finished with all the details of your employment history.

The job title should make sure that you are able to explain your skills, abilities and preferences, and it must include all the details that are relevant to the job that you are applying for. Also, make sure that you use your qualifications and skills in your job title and not in your resume cover letter.

This section must also include all the details of your job responsibilities, and the duties and responsibilities of the job that you are applying for. All these details must be properly described and include the exact date of the commencement of your job and all other relevant details. Include the name of the company and the position, and mention how long you have been employed there, and your job description as well.All the information about your schooling must be included as well.

Career Advice for a Work Husband or Work Wife Be Productive

Career Advice for a Work Husband or Work Wife Be Productive It’s the first person you grab when you need to vent about your day â€" or hit up a happy hour. It’s the only coworker who knows your lunch order by heart, and who always tells you when there’s kale salad in your teeth. It’s your best friend in the office, frankly, and the bond you’ve built makes even the most grueling workday a little more pleasant. A “work marriage,” as the relationship called, can be a deeply meaningful connection. But is it good for your career â€" and your actual marriage? Dr. Dion Metzger, an Atlanta-based psychiatrist who specializes in relationships (and co-author of the new book The Modern Trophy Wife: How to Achieve Your Life Goals While Thriving at Home), shares her rules of engagement.

A work marriage is when a colleague, usually of the opposite sex, becomes an integral part of your support system. It’s someone who helps you make decisions at work, and who lightens the mood when you’re down. Someone you can form an alliance with. It’s a valuable relationship: Your real spouse will never understand your life at the office as well as your coworkers. A work spouse can probably provide better work-related advice, because they can relate to what you’re going through. How do you make sure it’s a productive relationship? You’re probably closer with a work husband or wife than your platonic friends â€" you see them every day for five days a week, after all, so you’re spending a lot of time together. For this reason, I would limit the time outside of work that you spend together. If you’re going out for cocktails, you should probably go in a group. Too many lunch or drink dates can send the wrong signals â€" to both your work spouse and to others at the company. It’s also important that you keep a marker on how much time you spend socializing at the office. If it takes double the time to get a project done because you’re spending hours enjoying each other’s company, that’s not efficient. How do you pump the brakes if the relationship goes in a direction you’re not comfortable with? If one person starts to develop feelings that aren’t reciprocated, things can get messy pretty quickly. Be prepared to talk about it. Say, “I feel like things are getting a little too intense. I liked the way our relationship was before.” You have to talk about what you are, and aren’t, comfortable with. If you need to, start distancing yourself by declining invitations. Again, make sure you’re sticking to work-sponsored activities if you’re spending time outside the office. If I have a partner at home, should I tell him or her about my ‘work spouse’? It’s definitely a good idea to be open about it â€" hiding the relationship seems suspicious. You can say something like, “John is a coworker who is really supportive, and we work well together.” It’s that simple.
