With that in mind, I decided you might find it useful to have an advice overview of things you need to know about Job Search 2.0. And so, with the gracious [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/03/08/7-career-pros-talk-job-search-2-0/feed/ 4 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/03/04/aimee-leduc-shares-7-detective-tricks-to-strengthen-your-job-search-skills/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/03/04/aimee-leduc-shares-7-detective-tricks-to-strengthen-your-job-search-skills/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:12:46 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=2107 Who better than Aimée Leduc, mystery novelist Cara Black’s resourceful and oh-so-clever sleuth, to help you find one of those sneaky, lurking-in-the-shadows jobs! On my recent trip out to the Bay Area, I had the pleasure of meeting Cara. We thought it might be fun to combine Aimée’s keen detective skills with the very skills [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/03/04/aimee-leduc-shares-7-detective-tricks-to-strengthen-your-job-search-skills/feed/ 6 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/23/what-should-i-be-thinking-during-a-job-interview/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/23/what-should-i-be-thinking-during-a-job-interview/#comments Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:18:56 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=2080 I just found the words “What should I be thinking during interview” among my search engine terms. And without even pausing an extra beat, I heard myself answer the question out loud. (Not to worry…this happens sometimes and seems to amuse my cat immensely.) And so, inspired by the moment, here is my answer – [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/23/what-should-i-be-thinking-during-a-job-interview/feed/ 7 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/15/blogging-break-alert/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/15/blogging-break-alert/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:12:02 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=2091 Just want to let everyone know I’ll be taking an almost two-week internet break (e-mail and blogging) and so won’t be able to answer comments or e-mails during this period. I have posts that, through the magic of WordPress scheduler, will be published during the break and I’ll also leave comments open all around [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/15/blogging-break-alert/feed/ 4 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/15/job-search-question-of-the-day-do-you-let-rules-stop-you/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/15/job-search-question-of-the-day-do-you-let-rules-stop-you/#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2010 14:25:30 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=1891 Now I don’t mean to encourage out and out revolt among job seekers. Orderliness in systems and in job search can be very useful. BUT, that said, there may be times when stepping outside of the rules – or at least presumed rules – can be a smart move to get your career going [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/15/job-search-question-of-the-day-do-you-let-rules-stop-you/feed/ 5 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/10/do-you-still-hope-for-a-snow-day/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/10/do-you-still-hope-for-a-snow-day/#comments Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:40:28 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=2022 I was raised in the Catskill Mountain area of New York known as the Borscht Belt. If you live in an area where it never snows, I guess a snow day means nothing to you. But as a kid, on those seemingly endless winter days when snow fell seemingly endlessly from the sky, I [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/10/do-you-still-hope-for-a-snow-day/feed/ 7 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/08/so-what-happens-when-a-blogger-reaches-the-wall-she-writes-a-new-door/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/08/so-what-happens-when-a-blogger-reaches-the-wall-she-writes-a-new-door/#comments Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:17:41 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=2014 Blogging is a baby bird whose gaping mouth cries endlessly for more. Even as I hit “publish” I often already hear swirling whispers of my next post.  Hey…I hear them now and I don’t even know exactly what this one will say yet. I love this blog and I love my readers. But some days, [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/08/so-what-happens-when-a-blogger-reaches-the-wall-she-writes-a-new-door/feed/ 22 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/01/emotional-intelligence-at-work-the-art-of-peace-not-war/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/01/emotional-intelligence-at-work-the-art-of-peace-not-war/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:14:28 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=1982 I never thought I’d be writing about the intersection of emotional intelligence and Twitter but…I just checked out a Guy Kawasaki tweet about an article he wrote called The Art of Mea Culpa. Let’s see if I can set this up in a way that makes sense to tweet-savvy and non-tweet-savvy folks [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/02/01/emotional-intelligence-at-work-the-art-of-peace-not-war/feed/ 5 http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/01/29/testing-one-two-three/ http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/01/29/testing-one-two-three/#comments Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:59:37 +0000 Ronnie Ann http://www.workcoachcafe.com/?p=1976 You may or may not be seeing an ad at the top of this page below the header.

And now after several great interviews and even better feedback, she’s finally in the home stretch…they’re ready to make an offer. All she has to do is wait just a [...] http://www.workcoachcafe.com/2010/01/25/will-my-low-credit-score-ruin-my-chances-for-a-job-offer/feed/ 10
