For my readers in the Fox Valley, since I run into a number of job postings as I work with my students, I thought it might be useful if I started posting some of the positions that I find. I post the positions via my Twitter account. If you are not on Twitter, I encourage you to sign up – there are many wonderful people with whom you can network and an abundance of resources for you to access. Once you have an account, remember to follow me @sweetcareers. As I run into interesting job postings in the Fox Valley, I’ll post them. If you’ve missed any of the posts, you can go to Twitter Search and type #FoxValleyJobs or #NEWiJobs to see what you may have missed.

It can sometimes be challenging to come up with ways to describe your accomplishments, especially those from academic settings. Here are a handful of resume phrases that Economics majors may find useful:
Is it still ok to be humble? In a professional world that appears to reward self-promotion, how and where does humility fit in? I don’t know that I have a fully articulated response to this question, but my gut instinct is that, YES, it’s still ok to be humble and succeed in the professional world. What do you think? Is humility just for the weak? What does it mean to be humble? How do you get ahead and still remain humble? |
