Yesterday I received a call from a community college out east. They may want to hire me to provide a motivational presentation to their undecided fema by Joan Runnheim Olson - Jan, 2013 Yesterday I received a call from a community college out east. They may want to hire me to provide a motivational presentation to their undecided female students sharing the benefits of nontraditional careers, i.e., male-dominated. What a great idea!

How to Create An Engaging Resume That Won’t Bore the Employer by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jan, 2013 I hate to say it, but the attention span of hiring managers seems to be getting shorter. In fact, I was speaking with an executive-level employer the other day (who regularly reviews resumes), and he commented about how quickly he can scan through a stack of resumes and choose the candidates he plans to call.
