| Article Title :: How to Get Ahead in Your Career |
| |
| Bigger Better Deal. That’s what everyone always hopes will come along. And if you are one of the few who don’t, maybe you should reconsider!Last night I was at a happy hour gathering of a bunch of my friends. There were 14 in all and we had quite a time playing musical chairs every so often to make sure everyone got to talk with everyone. We amused many of the people on the sidelines who wondered who we were and WHY we were having so much fun. The energy was contagious!At one point the conversation settled in on what people did for a living. Since I’m getting more and more into the recruiting and placement side of my business, it seems that everywhere I go, people want (read full article) |

We picked Charlotte because it was a growing city with a lot of potential. There was a booming down town and cultural events were starting to make their way to the area.I didn’t know a soul in town so I did what any self respecting business professional would do! I opened the Yellow Pages and started calling. I called the first company that listed Public Relations. And literally that was ALL I needed to do! From that one call, I met everyone I needed to in the city and within weeks!What happened was this. The man on the other end of the p (read full article) |

| In life, you have to successfully work with people to get anywhere. You can’t avoid it.Some people are fun, good, and wholesome, and others can feel like a thorn in your shoe.

| Article Title :: 62 Ways to MAXIMIZE Your Approachability |

| If you walk into your local bookstore and pick up any random title on interpersonal communication, the majority of the books will simply remind you to "always be approachable."Wow, you think, thanks for the advice.But when you walk into a room full of strangers, attend a national conference or start a new job, that advice doesn’t help maximize your approachability.In my book, The Power of Approachability, my goal was to help the reader change his or her paradigm of communication and think of every interaction – big or small, online or off – in terms of approachability.Now, as the research continues, I’ve created a new model.

| Article Title :: Land the Ideal Job Using Social Networks |
| |
| With at least 60% of job-seekers finding employment through networking, it’s no wonder that people are turning to their colleagues and acquaintances for advice and help in finding employment.

| Article Title :: Real Business Networking Doesn't Happen at Networking Events |
| |
| Real networking isn’t about handing out business cards at a networking event, or seeing how many you can collect before the event is over. Real networking is about relationships that, when cultivated properly, will breed referrals and positive word of mouth about you and your company.Too often I hear the famous networking complaint: “networking doesn’t work for me.” There are a variety of reasons why someone might feel this way. 90% of the time it has nothing to do with them or their business; it has to do with what they think networking really is. Networking IS NOT simply going to networking events and hoping that you’ll get some new clients or referrals. Let’s say you (read full article) |

| One of the best ways to get business is through networking. That’s what the majority of people I speak to tell me.
