Happy Labor Day! If you’re here in the States, I hope you had a relaxing, refreshing long weekend. Now that September is here we’ll be back to publishing The Career Intelligencer twice a month. Expect the next issue about mid-month.
While it isn’t technically fall yet, Labor Day marks the unofficial end to the summer season. The holidays are over. Now it’s time for business to get back to business.
With this in mind, this issue focuses on Sending the Right Message. In Listen Up, I’ve shared a few ways to improve your communication skills. Nightmare Employees, by career-planning expert Cindy Pucci, can help you evaluate how colleagues see you. And anyone who wants to improve her PR skills should pick up a copy of our Spotlight: Sell Yourself Without Selling Your Soul by Susan Harrow.
Don’t forget to check out our What’s New section below. Read 10 Fashion Mistakes That Can Spoil Your Look by image expert Diana Pemberton-Sikes to make sure you’re sending the right message. You’ll also find new career planning, stress reducing and professional image advice from our experts.
As I mentioned in our last issue, through a recent affiliation with The Center for Healing & Recovery in Norwalk, CT, I am available for one-on-one coaching. I’ll be giving seminars and MBTI workshops there and Norwalk Community College this fall. Visit our Tools channel for more information.
Please feel free to send your comments or suggestions to me at arichmond@career-intelligence.com. Let me know what you want to see here and I'll try to bring it to you. And, if you know anyone else who'd enjoy reading The Career Intelligencer, please help us grow by passing it along.
It's your life, make the most of it :)
