I had the privilege to blog for last week’s Career Connector’s event in Scottsdale. Gloria Petersen with Global Protocol gave us great advice on presenting ourselves in the best light. She also challenged us to make challenges work for us, not against us. Here is an excerpt and link to the blog recap:
Determination is what it takes to beat the odds. When Gloria went through a trial, she had to persevere to make it through the other side. That is the power of each one of us. […]

In October, I had the opportunity to give a video testimonial about the Phoenix area Career Connectors. It is on the Employer Services section of their web site. Here is the video:
When I came to Phoenix this past July, I realized very quickly my job wasn’t nearly as effective with computer job boards.

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!
