This is awesome! Love it."
"Hardeep,
This is most certainly NOT an accepted behavior. Fortunately, it's very rare. Most people understand that if they are contacted by a recruiter about an opening that it's better for them and the recruiter to honor the introduction…"
"If someone calls and emails me their resume, I'll always shoot them a quick email back letting them know the status and if they're not a fit, I just let them know there are other candidates in the loop that have stronger backgrounds. As…"

"Miguel,
I think you need to add some meat to this blurb. As it is now, it doesn't say enough. What kind of marketing do you do? Where have you worked? What have you done there? You need to put some of the sizzle here to entice people to read…"
"It's way too long and too vague. The little girl is adorable, but there's little concrete info here on what this guy actually does, where he's worked and how he can add value."

Are you in the right job for your talents? Do you
look forward to going to work each day....or do you
dread it?
My grandfather, who was a very wise man, gave me great advice many years ago. He said that "life is too short to be miserable at your job. If you're that unhappy, it's time to go and do something else."

ContinueHow to Get Promoted
Posted on November 29, 2012 at 12:00pm 2 Comments 4 Likes

Put the time in. Be a student and keep learning.
I was inspired to write this post after reading a blog I look forward to each morning, http://www.thesimpledollar.com/ It's a personal finance blog, written by Trent Hamm, and for him it was a hobby that turned into a full-time job. In today's post, "The Limits You Choose", he addresses how many people make excuses for not finding success by saying they just don't have the…
