I have said that I hope to be in a productive stable job where I can learn and grow. Not sure if that's a good answer, though.

I'm an unemployed high school English teacher looking for new opportunities. I'm interested in the intersection of the nonprofit and education world... Does anyone have any advice for how to re-brand oneself? The bulk of my professional experience comes from teaching high school (all grades, college prep, honors, and AP). However, I'm expanding my skill set through volunteer work, workshops, and classes with focus on fundraising and using social media for marketing organizations. Thoughts?

I've worked with teachers for over ten years. Education non-profits will want to know that you know the education industry, can manage projects, and analyze data. You can demonstrate that through blogging and social media for sure. Teachers also have a great advantage in that employers know you're resilient because high school teaching is hard work.

Does anyone have any good resume writer-reviewer-editor recommendations they care to share? I've often been told that I'm the best person to write my own resume but I really feel like I need to mix something up and get a whole new perspective on my resume. Any recommendations would help.

With the incredible amount of professional opportunity in high-tech jobs .. where are the women?
The top technical companies in the country have to look overseas for talent, because it’s not available within the borders. This situation is compounded by the fact that only 13% of tech programming employment is female.
Let’s throw out some ideas.

She pulled her looks together at the last minute and became the first project runway contestant to lose her money while shopping for fabric. Michael Kors admitted that her competitor's final collection was substantially stronger. So how did Anya score the $100,000 winner and what can she teach us about workplace competition? http://gearsandshifts.com/2011/10/what-project-runway-winner-anya-ayoung...

One of the mistakes I constantly hear jobseekers committing is going into an interview and focusing on why they want to work for Company X - they're cool, innovative, cutting edge, etc.. What a hiring manager wants to know is, what you can bring to the table and what's unique about you that really makes you the best fit for the role! Some more thoughts on why having a solid grasp on your 'personal brand' can make (or break) the job interview. http://tinyurl.com/63ol9lr

Along with other great causes, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic violence is a serious problem that not only has a devastating effect on the home, but can have many effects on employees and their workplaces--up to and including people being attacked by their partners while at work.

When I've been hired to do webinars on "fancy" platforms, I've gone onto my Anymeeting, uploaded my powerpoint, and recorded a private webinar. Then during the day, I listen to it on headphones and pay attention for places I should do better. I've also recorded public webinars on it. It's a great platform for being free!
