November 23, 2015 by Guest Contributor

These days almost every industry has its share of outstanding women entrepreneurs. The list starts at the top of the business food-chain with first-time women CEOs such as Mary Barra of General Motors and IBM’s Ginni Rometty. This is followed with more CEOs, in other fields such as education, social media, and the non-profit sector. In addition, woman entrepreneurial power comes in teams that are co-founding the next big thing. Here is a glimpse of this diverse group of women professionals with expertise, insight, and vision for innovating and trendsetting.

Proper Business Attire for Women- Infographic

May 5, 2014 by Tim McMahon

There is an old saying “the clothes make the man” or in this case the woman.  In the modern culture many women think, “oh, I should be able to be myself” and “they shouldn’t judge me by how I dress” and “I just want to be comfortable”. 

But unfortunately people’s brains are wired to make snap judgements and once they are made it is difficult to change them. So unless you are working in a stable you shouldn’t dress like you are.

Here are some great tips on dressing for success in the modern business world. [Read more…] about Proper Business Attire for Women- Infographic

The Path to Success: From Intern to Employee

September 7, 2013 by Guest Contributor

The job market has never been more competitive than it is now. So candidates today have to go above and beyond to stand out against other applicants. Obviously, the work experience of each candidate is important but how you present yourself is equally important. Once you have the basic educational qualifications required, employers are in a position where they can be more selective due to the low number of available jobs and the high number of applications for each role that becomes available.

Convert your internship into full time employmentTraining and development are two areas that employers look for and nothing can fulfill this more than an internship. Internships are common for people to undertake either during or shortly after periods of education so they are able to gain the necessary skills when a full-time job simply isn’t available. For those interns that impress the management of a company, they have a unique opportunity to become a full-time member of staff and learn their trade from the ground up.  Here are some tips to help you convert that internship into employment.

How to Deal with a Challenging Personality on Your Project

June 22, 2013 by Guest Contributor

As a Project Management Professional (PMP), it is extremely rare to come across a perfect set of people who work cohesively within your team all the time. There will always be someone who doesn’t quite fit, their performance is problematic, or their personality clashes with one or more within the group. It is important to effectively handle these challenges to minimize any negative impact on your team and the project. In general, PMP training courses do not cover the human aspects of how to deal with difficult people, so below are a few tips to consider:

Maintain Professionalism

ID-100100140You might be extremely irritated with this difficult individual, however, it is important to not act inappropriately or awkwardly toward them, or express your annoyance through your words or actions. When dealing with a difficult person, it is best to maintain all conversations in a calm and professional manner. Who knows, your problematic team member may take cues from your exemplary behavior and performance.

Have a Private Talk

If this individual continues to remain uncooperative and problematic, you should talk to them and address the issues behind closed doors. Be honest, but not abrasive. It is vital to clearly explain the gravity of the project, making them realize how important they are within the process, and that everyone’s contribution in a team-driven project is important and necessary for the team’s success. Through frank discussion, you might discover [Read more…] about How to Deal with a Challenging Personality on Your Project

Happiness is Employee Incentive Awards

February 15, 2013 by Melisa Cammack

Generally speaking, a company with happy employees means increased output and more revenue. Some of the main factors that contribute to employee happiness is feeling valued, matching them with jobs that accentuate their strengths and by celebrating their accomplishments. Consequently, it’s important to provide your employees with awards and incentives from time to time.

Employee Incentive AwardsNewsletter Highlights

One of the easiest and most cost effective options is to create a commemorative newsletter for top achieving employees. This doesn’t need to be overly elaborate, but it should give a brief run down on the accomplishments (both personal and business) of your employees  and explain their contributions to your company. You could also mention some of the goals that they had and eventually accomplished. While this idea doesn’t require much effort, it can really make the day of employees and be a major confidence builder.

Let Them Know They’re a Big Deal

Another option is [Read more…] about Happiness is Employee Incentive Awards

Ray Was No “Norma Rae” He Understood Success

February 14, 2013 by Guest Contributor

Last time we looked at Joe and the key to success. How he went from sweeping floors to plant manager in a few short years. Today we will look at Ray. As told by Dennis Miller:

It’s not Fair! No SALESMAN should make that kind of money

I started my career as an accountant for a nationwide distributor of industrial chemicals. Yes, a clerical job. My boss was named Ray, and he was the vice president of the largest region in the company.

One of my early responsibilities was payroll for both hourly and salaried employees, including Ray. I knew how much money everyone made. We would prepare the payroll checks, and I would sign them and then take them to Ray as they required two signatures.

Success SalesI quickly discovered that one of the salespeople in the Peoria branch was very well paid, a huge amount by my standards, and even more than his direct branch manager. I recall someone in our department commented in a venomous tone: “No SALESMAN should make that kind of money. That’s not fair!”

When I took a stack of checks into Ray’s office, I asked him how it was possible for a salesman to actually make more money than his boss. It turned into one of those treasured conversations that affected the rest of my life. [Read more…] about Ray Was No “Norma Rae” He Understood Success

How to Successfully Climb the Corporate Ladder

February 13, 2013 by Guest Contributor

Climbing the infamous corporate ladder is not as difficult as you once thought. With the right attitude and a solid belief in yourself, you can move up the rungs of this invisible ladder to enjoy greater success. When you are ready to stop standing still on the ladder and move upwards, here are some steps you should take.

Make Your Own Destiny by Acting Like a Leader

Climb the Corporate LadderIf you want to move into leadership positions, then you have to show that you are capable of being a leader. This means that you need to start taking charge when possible. Volunteer to head projects, take charge when things are falling by the wayside and always keep your eyes on the prize. When your supervisors know that you are a reliable, go-to person they can rely on, they will be more likely to think of you when new opportunities arise.

Are You Being Paid what You’re Worth?

The media is focusing heavily on the gender wage gap, but that doesn’t mean you should make any assumptions. According to The Economist, the pay gap does not travel across the board. Female accountants tend to earn more than their male counterparts, but financial managers tend to earn less. Don’t assume that your pay is either high or low based on your gender. Take the time to research your pay online to determine if you are in the proper range for your education level and experience. If you are being underpaid, then you might want to touch up the resume and start applying for positions where you may be more appreciated. One way to scale th ecorporate ladder is to switch ladders more often. This way you can [Read more…] about How to Successfully Climb the Corporate Ladder

Shortcuts to a Good Job: Online Certificate Programs, Career Training or Community College?

December 3, 2012 by Jorgen Rex Olson

Attending a big University may seem like the American dream. But there are many obstacles to completing college. For some, it could be the cost while for others, they simply don’t have the time to sit through four years of school.

Someone with small children who desperately needs a better income may not be able to attend a traditional college to get the education they need. And if you’ve been making decent money but abruptly lost your job, you may not have four more years to upgrade your skills. There are many reasons why a four-year college may not be the best fit for some students.

Online Certificate ProgramsThe good news is that there are plenty of career training options that can be completed in a shorter period of time, that will still give you, the graduate, the opportunity to upgrade your skills and earn a higher wage.

Here are some options that you should consider if you are looking for a decent job in a shorter timeframe.

Online Certificate Programs

These courses simply help the student pass the certification test for a certain field, so they can begin work immediately. Depending on the course chosen, these programs may take from a few weeks to several months to complete. These courses are usually offered online, although classroom learning may be available or required for certain programs. Some of the most common certificate programs are Information Security, IT technology such as Linux, Paralegal, Medical Coding and Billing, and various art and design certificates. A student pursuing Online Certificate Programs, however, should [Read more…] about Shortcuts to a Good Job: Online Certificate Programs, Career Training or Community College?
