Jason H. Parker What are some creative ways to hold people accountable to the goals they've set themselves? I'm working with a small committee of folks to provide career development support for young alumni of my college, and we always seem to have ideas but refuse to put in the legwork. Coaches, some tips?

(slightly different power dynamic, naturally) Have you tried being assertive and expressing your frustration to these folk who are your peers? (assertive - not angry/hostile; not passive aggressive - straightforward and openly honest, and make sure you explain in very plain language what you'd like them to do to make you feel less frustrated.)

Sam A Muze Hey is there anybody who can give me some advice on writing a CV for a career change... I am a chef but I would prefer to work in viral marketing or sales. I know this seems a bit of a massive change but I have been blogging for several years now and I have good people skills.

What type of entry sales job do suggest to build sales experience? @Vanessa watch this space working on a blog tracking my career change. Maybe I can make my CV Viral. There are already a few on youtube!!

I found loads of Chef skills transfered over and had relevance, people management/training, organisation/planning, event management and suplier management were all skills I'd honed working in Restaurants.
Good luck
