    Job Application Letter
    Normally, when companies have you fill out an application or send a resume, they will want you to also include a job application letter (also known as a cover letter). The job application letter is one of the most important parts of your application, because it will give your potential employer a glimpse into why the company should hire you. Here are some tips to help you write an effective job application le

    To succeed in today’s global marketplace, companies must hire the best and the brightest. Having talented employees can make the difference between success and failure.Job hunting in this new economy is competitive, dynamic, results-driven, and requires your best efforts. In the past, jobs and careers were permanent, stable, and predictable. Today all of that has changed. Jobs, careers, and the worl
    In this day and age of fast paced business and advancing technology, we are most times too quick to move onto the next thing before appreciating our own accomplishments. This is a simple yet often overlooked tool for success. Those of us in service businesses, such as coaching and consulting, know how powerful this is in helping our clients recognize their accomplishments, see their strengths, uncover clues as to their next steps, and notice patterns for determining their future direction.

    So, what about us? Who’s tracking and helping us acknowledge our accomplishments for our self improvement? As business owners, service providers, and solopreneurs where we wear all the hats, this is an important piece of managing and building our businesses. In The Success Principles by Jack Canfield, he mentions how research shows that the more you acknowledge your past successes, the more confident you are in taking on and accomplishing new challenges. He says that simply knowing you’ve had successes in the past gives you the self confidence that you’ll have more in the future. What a great place to come from when getting out there to serve our clients!

    The Motivating Power of Purpose
    Patrick Atkins is Senior Manager for Agency Training of a major insurance company. When people asked what he did for a living, he used to reply, ‘I sell life insurance’.In his second year of selling, a customer died in an accident and he went to visit the widow. She was distraught, of course, but she spoke to Patrick after the funeral.‘I always resented the money my husband spent on insurance,’ sh

    Spelling Counts
    I have dealt with many companies, read many books, and looked at images. Many times there are spelling or grammatical errors. I realize that it is very difficult to catch every error and my materials are no exception. No matter how many times you pass the words by a team, something will always be overlooked. If you take time to look at your materials with a fine tooth comb, you may still miss a small error. Wha

    Relying on Others
    If you have good team members then you can afford to rely on them to do their part, micromanagement will only bring grief. Most of us have a tendency to constantly check up on others to make sure the job is done correctly. I know at home most of us walk behind our children and try to get them to see it your way. This is a form of micromanagement and it should be left at home when you go into the office. If you

    Rejection is just a short term set back. You are only being rejected for one job, not for every future possibility. We need to pick ourselves up and apply for the next job.Be prepared.

    Need more reasons for doing such a thing? Similar to a diary or journal, this list provides a log of successes over time - a place to revisit and review your own patterns and trends, clues to future direction, both personally and professionally. It’s especially handy for those occasions when someone presents you with a wonderful opportunity where you’ll greatly benefit and…they need your portfolio/resume/bio “as soon as possible”. Your list of accomplishments provides you with information at your fingertips. A handy list reminds you of your victories with difficult situations or those complicated ones that you want to document for possible reoccurrences. And on tough days, your Accomplishments document reminds you of why you do what you do!

    How to implement your own recognition system? It’s as simple as you want it to be. Create a word document with a catchy title like “My Victory Log” or “My Magnificent Year”, and make a shortcut to your desktop for quick and frequent access. Or, tape a piece of paper to your wall and jot down your weekly and monthly successes as they occur. Or, note accomplishments on your wall, pocket, or desk calendar as soon as they happen. For more detail, utilize “C-A-R stories” where you note the Challenge you encountered, the Actions you took, and the Results that ensued. This provides you with fuller information and facts for better recall. Create a “Brag Book” binder wher
