This has been a slow week for blogging for me because I’m in San Antonio at the Career Management Alliance conference. It’s great connecting with Twitter friends and other contacts in person and learning a lot that I’m looking forward to sharing here on my blog!
Highlights?
Peter Weddle, CEO of WEDDLE’S says this isn’t a “come as you are job market” and suggests that you must work on your career every day!
Kathryn Troutman, Federal Job Expert and head of The Resume Place, reminds us that there are 350,000 Federal jobs, and you need to know how to apply for them to win a chance!
Lauryn Franzoni and Robyn Greenspan from Execunet say that the top fields for growth in 2009 are:
- Healthcare
- Pharma/Med/Biotech
- Energy
- Business Services
We also heard from a futurist (!) and a screenwriter who helps train people to succeed in interviews! Stay tuned for more details. I need to get ready for breakfast!
