Career Rescue Blog

 Career changes and decisions often highlight our greatest insecurities. Fear of the unknown, the “what ifs?” and the negative self–talk. Overcoming self-doubt is the number one key to moving forward—careers are not made in one day, and neither are job search plans.  

Whether you find yourself without a job through no fault of your own or are miserable in your line of work, then the blog will help you find career principles that others have found successful. 

Conducting a job search or wanting to grow your skills all feel the same regardless of if you are just starting your career or have been working for 30+ years.  The bottom line is that a fulfilling career has everything to do with you.

You own your career, and because of that, I put much emphasis on connecting with people. I strongly believe that building and maintaining your networking contacts affect your career opportunities.  Carrying on good conversations with people is a learned skill in which both introverts and extroverts can easily succeed. Stepping out of your comfort zone in communicating with others and asking yourself, “What’s the worst thing that could happen?” is a challenge that impacts most people until they build confidence.  

The Career Rescue column and blog posting blend psychological and business components into helping job seekers adjust and prepare for a job search while implementing the latest job searching techniques. 

Job searching is not a “one size fits all” approach, and the skills involved can be as varied as the job seeker’s personality. 

Every person interested in managing their career can identify with this blog and column, from college students beginning their careers to baby boomers deciding on their next steps. Career Rescue helps those currently employed cope with a rapidly changing work environment and guidance on developing a career path.
