You paid a lot of money to get your advanced degree. Make liberal use of your college or university career center if you are looking for a job. University career centers are prepared to help their graduates …in good times and in bad.

It is great to develop options and to widen your job seeking net. Launching multiples of your resume on line is good but it can’t be the only thing you do to get a job.
You must remember that the most important development in your job search … is to get face time with the hiring manager.

When speaking on the phone, especially during a future hiring conversation, do not multi task. You will not only be demonstrating lack of focus but also rudeness. Rude people … don’t usually get hired.
Coach Kathleen
There are plenty of problems to go around but not too many people who know how to solve problems.
Hiring managers want to hire problem solvers. Determining a problem can often times get you closer to a job offer. That is because … everyone wants to hire a problem solver.

When is the last time you use your tape recorder? Tape yourself in a phone conversation and listen to the tape to determine your voice tone.
Much of verbal communication is understood through voice tone and inflection. Ending your sentences on a high or questioning tone weakens your communication efforts.
Keep your communication confident and positive … by understanding and adjusting your voice tone.
