    Termination: Have You Suffered Retaliation at Work?
    Termination is one of the most obvious forms of retaliation at work. Other obvious forms of retaliation include refusal to hire, denial of job benefits, denial of promotion, demotion, and suspension. Other kinds of adverse actions include: threats, reprimands, harassment, negative evaluations, or other adverse treatment of employees.Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, [FN1] the Age Discrimination in Em
    e a letter saying you didn't get the job, send a polite reply asking that your information be kept on file and express your interest in being considered for future openings. There is nothing to be gained by voicing any anger or resentment at not being chosen.” Linda S

    I’m sad to know that this must have happened to her at some point in time. Please remember to always remain professional and friendly when communicating with an employer EVEN if you didn’t receive the job. You just never know when they will need to hire someone again and if you send an unprofessional and even hateful ema

    Shopaholics - Now Get Paid As You Shop
    Shopping need not mean only shelling out of the bucks on the part of the shopper. With mystery shopping tools being utilized by several market research concerns you, the shopper, may actually be getting paid as you shop around. As a professional shopper or mystery shopper you will be permitted to eat out at restaurants, visit local attractions and shop for books, clothes, baby products and other cool things while no
    I recently had an employer advertise her job in my newsletter and it got me wondering what employers are thinking when the applicants start flooding in. After speaking with her I was able to get some really valuable feedback and I wanted to share that with you.

    “Avoid using abbreviations and acronyms in your cover letter and resume. Or at least spell it out in the first instance and give the abbreviation in parenthesis. For example, Medical Transcription (MT)” Linda S.

    This is a great tip. I think many of us do abbreviate and we might not always remember to spell everything out in our cover letters and r?sum?s, but it is important that we do.

    “Don't respond to a variety of ads by sending one email to numerous CC addresses.” Linda S.

    You know I had no idea that anyone was doing this. Since I’m not an employer, I don’t have an inside view on things. I would highly suggest that if you’re doing this you do as Linda suggests and not send out a mass email to many recipients. At the VERY least make sure it’s a blind carbon copy, but I always suggest customizing each cover letter, r?sum?, and email to each job/company.

    “If you are claiming "attention to detail" as one of your skills, make sure your cover letter and resume are free of typos and misspellings” Linda S.

    I couldn’t agree more. When applying for a job you need to ALWAYS make sure it’s on point and you don’t have typos or misspellings. Especially if the job requires attention to detail, but even if it doesn’t you should follow this “rule” when applying to any job.

    “Make sure your cover letter sounds enthusiastic about the job prospect.” Linda S.

    I agree. I think that anything you can do to express your enthusiasm (in a professional manner) is a plus. I’m sure employers receive many boring emails/cover letters and when one comes over that is not only professional, but enthusiastic and has your personality in it, then that is very refreshing.

    “Tailor your skill summary to the advertised job. Mention specific skills that apply to the job and leave out the skills that don't apply.” Linda S.

    How glad I am to see that the advice I’ve been giving for years is truly what employers like to see. I’ve always said this and it’s now enforced by Linda. If you’re not doing this yet, start doing it right now!

    “Don't burn bridges. When you receive a letter saying you didn't get the job, send a polite reply asking that your information be kept on file and express your interest in being considered for future openings. There is nothing to be gained by voicing any anger or resentment at not being chosen.” Linda S

    The Power of Approachability
    Alright. Something weird is going on here.In the past few weeks, I’ve had three different people make almost the exact same comment to me.First it happened in Salt Lake City. I was recovering from a multi-speech day, resting in my hotel room, watching Anchorman. I checked the voicemail on my cell. It was from a strange guy named Mike. His message explained that he’d read my first book and would lov

    Giving Your Business An Energy Makeover
    Don’t get us wrong, if you don’t know much about your energy bills or how you use your energy, you’re not alone. There are lots of reasons to take interest, though: the rocketing price of energy, savings to the bottom line, and the environmental benefits, for a start.So, what could you be thinking about?Saving energy in places you’ll not miss it There are usually areas where you use energy but don’t r
