megaphone2590025080_d5ce7bf163_mI’d like to share a post by Michelle Goodman at ABCnews.com. She recently posted a story about the biggest mistakes job seekers make and quoted several of my comments. 

One tidbit: Provide a context for the information in your resume!


“Increased sales by 12 percent in a depressed market when most sales were down year over year” tells a far more compelling story than “increased sales by 12 percent year over year,” said Miriam Salpeter of Keppie Careers, a resume and job hunting consultancy in Atlanta.

megaphone2590025080_d5ce7bf163_mIt’s always a lot of fun to speak to serve as an expert source for reporters. I find it inspiring as a coach to talk to someone who writes for the mainstream media; it’s an opportunity to share good advice with a new audience. This week, I was honored to be interviewed for two great outlets: Forbes.com and ABCnews.com. Here are links to the articles:

ABC News.com – Furloughs: The Vacation You Never Wanted
Michelle Goodman reports on what some careerists are doing with their unpaid, unexpected “time off.” My advice – keep an eye on the future and use some of your time to plan for your career!

Forbes.com – Twitter to Find a Job
Tara Weiss reports about one of my favorite subjects! Twitter is a terrific tool for job seekers. Tara gives a good overview of how to get started using Twitter.
