The Career Attraction Weekly Wrap-up – July 23, 2010
I don’t know about where you are, but it’s been bloody hot here. I guess it’s the yin to the yang of having had over 40″ of snow this past winter.
When I start thinking about the heat, I think about our men and women serving overseas in spots where it’s even hotter (and that’s the least of their concerns!). Remebering what those 120+ degree days with 80% humidity were like when I was in the Persian Gulf puts it all into perspective for me. A constant reminder to seek out the half full instead of the half empty.
I hope you are staying cool and having a great weekend.
Now, here’s what happened this past week at Career Attraction:
Facebook versus LinkedIn – This past week I opened up the NEW Career Attraction Facebook Page and LinkedIn Group. I also made an announcement that when we hit 1000 members, I’ll be giving away some FREE memberships to my Career Attraction University! So, if you haven’t joined – please do so. If you have, invite some friends to join both. The sooner we hit 1000, the sooner I can give away these memberships. I’m ready – how about you? Click here to join our Facebook Page. Click here to join our LinkedIn Group.
Update on Coaching – Last week I filled the two spots I announced were open for my Private Coaching. Mike and I kicked things off last Wednesday and are already moving forward with a plan. John is on vacation this week, but we will begin when he returns.
The response was huge, so I’ve developed another program: my Group Coaching Circle. I will be announcing the full details and registration next week to the general public. If you’d like to get the skinny first, email me for more information. It combines everything those interested in coaching have asked for: accessibility, customized answers, ongoing support, affordability and more.

Lemonade: It’s not a pink slip, it’s a blank page – I love documentaries. My brother-in-law is a filmmaker…I think I’ve single-handedly crashed Netflix’s servers with my overusage…I’ve got what some might call a problem. It’s as simple as that.
So, when I stumbled upon Erik Proulx’s film “Lemonade,” I had to watch it. Simply described, it’s a collection of 16 advertising professionals’ stories about how they “lost their jobs and found their calling.” It’s relatable, relevant and inspiring. I’ve never recommended a movie before on my blog, but this is a MUST SEE. Click here to read more…
Q&A: Help me Make Sense of Working with Recruiters - This week’s question isn’t so much a particular one as it is a collection of questions I’ve been getting around one central theme: recruiters. How do I work with them? When should I work with them? Why aren’t they calling me back? Are they a waste of time?
In today’s Q&A column I’m not only going to tackle many of these topics, but I’ve created a FREE video (100% content you can put to work for yourself today – nothing is being sold here) for you that will help you figure out when its most beneficial for you to work with a recruiter and how to get the most out of the relationship.
