Add Mobile Power to Your Search – Career Connectors

I wrote a guest blog post for the Phoenix Arizona Career Connectors. I have found the app to be a handy way to search for jobs and easily apply with your smartphone. A link to the article is in the source.

I was very relieved to find a group like Career Connectors that provides knowledge about the employment in the Sun Valley, helpful resources and some inspiration. I wholeheartedly endorse Career Connectors.

Guest Post | Career Connectors

On Wednesday, I had the privilege to write a blog recap on the Phoenix Area Career Connectors site.

Pamela Heward was the keynote speaker. She did a great job talking about the personal development we need to do and assumptions we must let go of when in a career transition.

The presentation was also great for anyone starting their own business needing  to let go of assumptions that hold them back.

There is also some information on Phoenix area employers and resources for job hunters. Enjoy!
