Here's an article that I wrote for my website.

I've been spending a lot of time helping people draft their resumes, and conducting practice interview session.  A common theme that I'm seeing, is that the majority of job seekers do not have a viable network of business associates, peers, senior business leaders etc. The new thought that has been advance in networking is a play on the old theme, "it's who you know", is now delivered as it's "who knows you".

The other thing that I'm seeing are job seekers who don't do their homework (reseach prospective opportunities).  This involves getting beyond the headlines of a job posting and searching that hidden piece of information that might open doors.

The other thing is I running across people who are afraid to try something new. New stuff, is both challenging and exciting, and can really get your juices flowing.

Just did a "voice-over" for a non-profit organization. For years people have been telling me that I had a great voice, of course it never seemed that way to me.  Recently someone at this non-profit heard me speak and suggested to their marketing director, that I might be a good candidate to do the "voice-over"  It was only three lines, that took five takes, but maybe it will lead to something greater.

Just started a Human Resources consulting business.  Working with individuals (resume writing, interviewing skills) and business' that have limited capital, but need help. Working on developing marketing/print media and future website. 

Also got  approved as a mentor to the National Associate of Women Business Owners (Phoenix Chapter) and will be going through formal training in November, then matched with a mentee.
