Whether you’re just beginning your career or are in the middle of a career transition, taking the time to think about what really matters to you in life can save you years, even decades, of heartache. Here are some things to consider:1. Realize Money Isn’t Everything
Family often encourages you to go for the career where you can make the highest income. Unless you have a passion for the job that makes the highest income, going there is going to be a source of incredible misery for you. While paying the bills is important, happiness and satisfaction are even more important. Read more...Photo Credit: Shutterstock

Act Like a Business Owner to Advance Your Career | CAREEREALISM
Act Like a Business Owner to Advance Your Career | CAREEREALISM
Whether you work for a global corporation, a small business, or for yourself, it is absolutely essential you THINK and ACT like an “owner” — “own” your job, own your role as a leader or manager, own your roles and responsibilities — put yourself in the shoes of a business owner, and think and behave as any owner would do.
This is not new career advice; many of us have heard this before, and many of us have probably given this advice to others. But what does it actually MEAN to think and act like a business owner?
Standing in the shoes of a business owner is a mind-set shift and in my opinion includes fully embracing the following as part of HOW you DO your job and how you THINK about your job:
Think about it, can any business survive, long-term, if the owner is NOT truly passionate and enthusiastic about what he or she does? Read more.

1. Show Passion and Enthusiasm
Both your head and your heart need to be “in the game.” Your clients and customers need to see and “feel” your enthusiasm for what you do. Your colleagues, team mates and direct reports need to sense your passion for what you do. Passion and enthusiasm are the fuel for the energy that flows into your job. Others are drawn to you and inspired by you in direct correlation to level of sincere passion and enthusiasm you exhibit.Think about it, can any business survive, long-term, if the owner is NOT truly passionate and enthusiastic about what he or she does?

How to Write a Hot Cover Letter | CAREEREALISM
How to Write a Hot Cover Letter | CAREEREALISM
August 22, 2012 · By Six Sigma Online
“Focus,” said the master, “and the world will be yours…”
In today’s fast paced working environments focus has become a four-letter word. In a world where “multitask,” “app,” and 140 character tweets are creating a sensation nation that lives on caffeine, energy drinks, and coconut water, most HR professionals and employers destroyed their ability to focus years ago.
“I can always be interrupted,” and “I regularly juggle 15 projects with no problem,” are the new words of wisdom. There isn’t any time to think and meditate deeply, and there probably isn’t time to read your cover letter. All marketing begins with Audience and unless you are applying to be a Yoga instructor, the likelihood is that your audience isn’t patient. READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE.

Ten Surefire Ways to Get Promoted
Ten Surefire Ways to Get Promoted
|
Do you feel like you've hit the proverbial glass ceiling, promotion-wise? The reality is that advancing in an organization involves far more than just being extremely competent at your job. Politics will play a role, of course, but you'll gain an even more advantageous position by finding ways to make yourself more well-rounded and valuable to your entire company—as opposed to just being the resident tech whiz. Creating this edge inevitably involves taking part in interdepartmental meetings and projects and attending industry events. It requires you to seek out internal influencers and make a valid case that you are capable of taking on other tasks and responsibilities. And it also may require you to ditch your jeans-and-sneakers wardrobe for clothing that’s more appropriate for business. For the following tips, we turned to professional resources such as Quintcareers.com and Your-career-change.com

4 Tips For Dealing With Age Discrimination | CAREEREALISM
4 Tips For Dealing With Age Discrimination | CAREEREALISMBy Arnie Fertig
We live in a youth-obsessed society where “new and improved” trumps “time tested.” This carries over into the job market when employers reject the maturity and experience possessed by the fifty-something-year-old worker in favor of the thirty-something “up and comer.” Often I hear a lament like this from job hunters: “I’m 58 years old, out of work, and I’m not ready or financially able to retire. My age is really making it difficult to find a job.”
Sound familiar? An AARP June poll reveals that more than 25 percent of Massachusetts residents age 50 and older report that they or someone they know has experienced age discrimination. Despite the fact that it is illegal, it is nonetheless very real.
As an older worker, you can’t eliminate age discrimination. But you can learn what lies behind it and take steps to differentiate yourself from stereotypes. By doing so, you increase your chances of receiving serious consideration.
In my latest article which appears in U.S. News & World Report, I offer concrete suggestions to deal with age discrimination in hiring.
