Dear Coach,
I was laid off
last month from my job of eight years. I’ve been sending out resumes almost every day and haven’t heard back from
anyone. Several people are pushing me to attend networking events and join Facebook and LinkedIn. I’m a single mother
and don’t have a lot of spare time. I want to find a new job quickly, but don’t know what to do first. Where do
I begin?
— Needs New Job
Now, NY, 42 Dear Needs New Job Now,
Networking and social media are much more than the latest trend, so thank
the people around you who are encouraging you to get in the game. Read More
Dear Coach,
I recently was asked for a copy of my resume and realized
I hadn’t updated it in three years. How often do people usually update them? Do you have any good advice for resumes
that work?
—Missed A Good Opportunity, 46 Dear Missed Opportunity,
I usually tell people they should always have
an updated resume till the day they retire. You never want to be in a situation where your dream opportunity comes knocking,
and you don’t have something on hand. Read More
Dear Coach,
I’ve been trying to diet since after New Year’s and haven’t lost a pound. It’s
important for me to lose weight for health reasons and to look better. I’m finding it difficult to get the support I
need from my husband. He not only continues to buy the fattening and unhealthy foods I love, but he also puts them in front
of me. When I say I don’t want any, he tells me a little won’t hurt and gets insulted. How do I explain my needs
without hurting him?
—Dieter In Need Of Support, 41
Dear Dieter,
There’s a difference between not giving someone support and sabotaging. It sounds to me that
your efforts to eat healthier and lose weight are being sabotaged, even if unintentionally. Diet saboteurs come in all shapes
and sizes — spouses, friends, family. Read More
