    Losing my job in the last recession of the last century, I discovered first hand the power of creating your own luck. A week later, I decided to locate an interim position while I looked for a "real” one.

    Space Together Things That Belong Together - Graphic Design 101
    WHAT'S On The Page?Typically, a Western audience reads from top to bottom and left to right. That doesn't necessarily mean information has to be placed on a page in that order. As readers, we look at a page and attempt to figure out what is the important message on the page. If everything is shown the same way, same size, same spacing — no importance is established for anything on the page. It look

    People offering to do extra work only if they get paid for it, or take on extra responsibility only if their salary is increased first, have it backwards in my book. My advice: do the work, do it well, and then do it even better. Higher pay, greater responsibilities and increased opportunities follow individuals who are contributors.
