02-16-21: The Importance of Humor: We all Could Use a Laugh |
|
Humor can lift our spirits and relieve stress, especially during COVID-19. I adopted Caramel in November. He's my COVID cat. He establishes himself in my office, especially during video conferences. He puts a smile on people's faces when they see his caramel and white body walking in front of the camera. Caramel loves to whip his long tail back and forth, not only distracting me, but my candidates and staff.
It's small moments like these that make us laugh. Humor creates bonds and distractions that we all need.
Even the Harvard Business Review has pointers on how to be funny at work. Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas discuss this idea in their article. Read more here.

America’s Most Hated Office Jargon |
|
Even though the pandemic brought office life to a shuddering halt across much of the world, that doesn't quite mean workers were able to breathe a sigh of relief and escape arguably one of the most annoying aspects of office culture: business jargon. Whether it's via Slack, Teams, Zoom, or email, cliché business terms are difficult to get away from, even when it comes to remote working during a pandemic. When it's time to "touch base" with the boss, some phrases tend to rankle workers more than others, and a 2019 GetResponse survey polled 1,000 U.S. workers to determine the most loathed business clichés in America.

2. WEDNESDAY 02/17 HOW TO CREATE & IMPLEMENT AN EFFECTIVE JOB SEARCH PLAN - NSENG $80.00
|
|
Whether you’ve been job searching for 2 weeks or 2 years, this workshop will help you be more efficient with your time… more capable of creating an order to your job search tactics… more effective at reaching and marketing yourself to target companies… and more productive with distinguishing yourself in the marketplace. Virtually every job we’ve ever had has required developing a carefully laid out plan on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. And the job search is no different. Too many job seekers jump right into their search without having defined their plan of attack, and it often results in a lot of unproductive time, unfocused efforts, and longer time frames to land an appropriate position. An effective job search requires a tactical routine, a prioritization process, a well-defined order of specific tasks, a targeted marketing program, and a measurement criterion to ensure that you’re optimizing your time and ability to track your progress. This workshop will identify the framework and action plan that job seekers should undertake to develop and implement a tactical plan that maximizes your efforts, engages your audience, communicates your value, and generates interviews over a shorter period of time.
During this instructional session, MARTY GILBERT, job search coach and founder of NSENG, will present his perspectives on the following topics:
- What a job search plan should contain and the order in which each initiative should be completed
- How to develop an effective weekly routine
- Setting job search goals and tracking your progress
- How to network more effectively
- Examples of resumes that are and are not effective
- How to build an ATS-compliant resume
- How to define your audience and build a target company list with key contacts
- How to develop a marketing plan that reaches your targets
- How to write your brand and value proposition
- How to create more buzz on LinkedIn
Date: Wednesday, February 17th
Time: 6:00-9:00 pm CST

- Actions that are the best use of your time

- How to diplomatically handle distractions and demands of others
