A reader writes: I have been out off work for three years. I have sent out a lot of resumes and filled out a bunch of job applications, but I have not received any calls back. I was talking to a friend about it and they suggested that I get my resume done professionally. I’ve checked the price for this and it is not cheap. So I was wondering, will having my resume professional done worth the price or will it be waste of money that I honestly don’t really have?

By now, all of us understand that technology plays a big role in our personal and professional lives. And we’ve all seen at least one article talking about employee engagement and the lack thereof. What’s important to remember is that technology isn’t the cause of employee disengagement, unless of course, someone intentionally made it that way. In fact, when used correctly, technology can be a tool that helps engagement.

Communicating organizational goals to employees is essential for achieving those desired outcomes.” - OPM.gov. Organizational goals must be communicated to employees before they’re even employees.

Written by: Samantha Colby. When you hear the word social, what comes to your mind? For some it is the character trait that conjures up an image of a person who may be a social butterfly. Others may recall the word in the form of a noun and reflect on the last networking event attended and connections forged as a result. I’m a marketer. Naturally, the first definition of social that comes to my mind is social media.
