Networking during Your Job Search
By Emily Sanderson

Perhaps your company is downsizing; perhaps you have some ethical concerns regarding company activity; perhaps you are moving to a new city for personal reasons, such as your spouse accepting a new position or your child enrolling in a private school. Are you prepared to make a change in your career?


Transferable Skills Often Facilitate a Needed Career Shift
By Emily Sanderson

The oil crisis of 1987 eliminated many oil-related jobs in the United States. The advent of the Internet in the mid-1990s changed the business outlook for many job sectors including IT and the media. 9/11 affected the financial industry in 2001, and the real estate sector is feeling the pain now as lending institutions struggle to stay afloat.

Tips for Your First Day on the Job
By Brooke Heath

Here it is at last: your first day at your new job. While you should congratulate yourself on landing this new position, don't get overly confident. Remember that you will be starting back at square one. Regardless of how much experience you have had prior to this position, there are always new procedures and other details to learn in a new work environment.


What to Do During Your Last Two Weeks
By Brooke Heath

You have given your current employer two weeks' notice. But don't think that from here on out you can slack off. It is important that you treat these remaining two weeks like any other workweeks by working hard and being productive.


Making It Official: Writing a Letter of Resignation
By Brooke Heath

Perhaps you have already given your notice of resignation verbally, but most companies require that you submit a formal letter of resignation to keep on file. It is also to your benefit to give your employer and your company's human resources department a letter of resignation because it covers your end of the deal. It ensures that the date you are leaving and the date you informed your employer of your resignation are officially documented. In most cases, it is ideal to have a letter of resignation ready when you go to give your resignation in person.


You're Outta There: Giving Your Resignation
By Brooke Heath

You did everything to land a great new job! You aced the interview, and you were even able to negotiate a higher salary than you were initially offered. But before you get too far ahead of yourself and start envisioning your new desk and office with a view, you have one last matter of business: resigning from your current job.


Ambitious Women and the Glass Ceiling
By Hardeep Arora

The term "glass ceiling" refers to a barrier so subtle that it's virtually invisible, yet so strong that it prevents competent women managers from moving up the corporate ladder or managerial hierarchy. These artificial barriers based on attitudinal or organizational bias that females encounter to progressions within organizations, are typically not faced by male managers. The glass ceiling principle thus suggests that prejudice proceeds by social-psychological processes that include stereotyping and evaluative biases. Perhaps the most important component that reinforces the glass ceiling theory is the informal effort by dominant group (males) to retain an all-male atmosphere at top of the corporate hierarchy.


Negotiating a Raise
By Hardeep Arora

''Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one'' - Benjamin Franklin.

"Recently, I was laid off from a major corporation. I had no idea how I was going to come back from such a sudden and unexpected event. I came to your company hoping for a cover letter explaining my situation and was pleasantly surprised by your writer's tact. I don't think there could be a better letter phrasing. Thank you so much. I will let you know how things turn out in the next few months. Cross your fingers for me!"
