Happy Autumn!!! Almost. Just as Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of Summer, Labor Day heralds the beginning of Fall. I hope you had an enjoyable, relaxing summer because it's time to get back to business.
One look at my overbooked calendar tells me that break-time is over. Starting with this issue, we'll be resuming our regular publishing schedule. You can expect to receive The Career Intelligencer at the beginning and middle of each month.
In this issue, we focus on Changing Your Mindset. Rethink the idea of multitasking (Addiction to Multitasking). Take some time to consider your value to your boss or clients (Are You the Weakest Link?). And before you make one more trip to the store get a lesson in the realities of clothing sizes (Shop By Fit, NOT Size).
Whatever your business, take a look at this issue's Spotlight: Hug Your Customers, The Proven Way To Personalize Sales And Achieve Astounding Results by Jack Mitchell, CEO of Fairfield County, Connecticut-based Mitchells/Richards. It's a fun read with tons of tips on building client relationships and empowering your staff.
Please take a minute to answer this month's Jobs & Economy Poll. I'll publish the results in an upcoming newsletter. And be sure to take a look at the expert answers in our What's New section below for advice on what to wear to a sporting event, how to handle a disgruntled employee and what to put on your resume while you're unemployed.
And, if you know anyone else who'd enjoy reading The Career Intelligencer, please help us grow by passing it along.
Enjoy your summer! See you next month.
It's your life, make the most of it :)

Take these steps to be more valuable to your employer
By Annette Richmond, MA
Although it's no longer part of our local programming, you probably remember The Weakest Link. Hosted by a witty, redheaded, Brit, the game show was quite entertaining. For the more discerning, it also provided some lessons for the workplace.
On The Weakest Link, contestants were placed in the in the tricky situation of working together for mutual gain while competing for the grand prize. Sound familiar? Think about your office. You and your colleagues are working together, often in teams. At the same time, you're competing for raises and recognition. When the boss moves on only one person gets the promotion. Read More

Learn why YOUR size may not fit
By Diana Pemberton-Sikes
Been clothes shopping lately?
I have, and as always, I continue to be annoyed by the lack of standardized sizing in women's clothes. After nearly two hundred years of cranking out ready-to-wear clothing, you'd think this multi-billion-dollar industry would have arrived at a more exacting way to size their merchandise. Unfortunately, they haven't.
Which can make shopping very stressful if you don't know that going in. Read More

The Addiction of Multi-Tasking Why you may be wasting instead of saving time by Barbara Bartlein, RN, LCSW
Beware all you multi-taskers, you may not be as productive as you thought. According to new research compiled by David E. Meyer, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, productivity is actually hindered when people try to accomplish two things (or more) at once. Mr. Meyer reports that people who switch back and forth between tasks, like working on a project and answering the phone or e-mails, may spend up to 50% more time on those tasks than if they work on them separately, completing one before starting the other.
