Lose The Labels

  By Joan Graci • December 30, 2013 Career Reform

Designer labels have mastered the marketing arena, jacking up their prices and limiting their product line to a few featured items, giving their customers an aura of luxury, wealth, and success each time they make a purchase.

‘Tis the Season to Keep Pushing!

  By Jean Filipiak • December 26, 2013 Career Reform

This year, my six-year old’s wishes were simple: “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” For the rest of us, however, our dreams for the new year most likely include a better career situation. As a recruiter, I know that the arduous job search process can seem … Continue reading

My Holiday Wish: Career Courage

  By Joan Graci • December 23, 2013 Career Reform

Every year when this special holiday time comes around, it seems like the perfect opportunity for me to write down my wishes. Plus I’d be lying if I said I don’t use any opportunity I can to share my hopes and dreams for the middle class with anyone who will … Continue reading

A Rock-Solid Career Approach

  By Jean Filipiak • December 18, 2013 Career Reform

When I ask candidates what they are looking for in a new or first job, the answer is always the same: stability. The dictionary says stability is “the quality or state of something that is not easily changed or likely to change.” In our tumultuous employment world – where the … Continue reading

We Don’t Work In Kansas Anymore

  By Joan Graci • December 16, 2013 Career Reform

Today’s employer has created a world that resembles the Wizard of Oz, and expects you to be prepared for it. Let me explain. I was interviewing Mark, an engineer frustrated with his current company.
