My radio show on BlogTalkShow was first aired in June 2007, and since then, because am pressed for time, it was mostly on an ad hoc basis.
I decided that for 2009, I would clear the archives, revive the show and feature career experts and small business owners as my guests. Stay tuned. In the meantime click on the title above and listen to a 9 min segment.
Blogging guru Dan Schwabel says that “Most job postings aren’t even vacant, might not exist and 80% of job offers are received through networking.” Read the rest here: http://mashable.com/2009/01/13/social-media-resume/
Interviewed this morning by Sara Konings of CHUM 104.5 FM for a new job search series about how to survive job layoffs. I will post the date the series will be aired as soon as I am advised. In the meantime, listen to an earlier interview at http://www.chumfm.com/podcast/MP3s/Interviews/Career%20Coach.mp3
If you are going to be successful in your job search and career, it starts with believing in yourself! Say, “I do believe, and yes, I can!” Yippee!

This is the final in the series of Sue Currie’s article, Have you got Presidential Poise?
Be Well-Mannered. A leader of Obama’s calibre has impeccable manners. He mixes with the well-to-do, moneyed people of Washington who helped fund his campaign. He will also deal with Kings and Queens and Heads of State and will do so with courtesy and stateliness. A Commander in Chief of a country or perhaps just You Inc. understands and displays correct business and social protocol.
Carriage and demeanour. Obama wears clothes well. Of course so does First Lady Michelle Obama who will grace covers of magazines for years to come. They both choose classic and elegant styles. Mr Obama is more conservative and classic befitting his role while Mrs Obama adds a stylish twist to her dressing. They both show great posture walking tall and with dignity. Yes they both have great figures, but no matter what your size or shape, dressing well is a skill that can be learned and should be practiced.
Cool. What makes someone cool or have charisma? Perhaps this is an elusive quality. But I think it’s about being a leader that people want to follow no matter what field of endeavour. It is standing out in a fresh, modern way with a sense of calmness and composure.
