Unleash Your Super Powers
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Superman spent most of his time working a desk job. Mr. Incredible had to hide in a super protection program. Spidey’s powers kept getting him in trouble. ….being a super hero seems at best to be a side job. Or a hobby.

Friday, August 8, 2008
We thought we would make the effort and wake up (pacific time) for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing. So far, we are impressed, and the kids are going to remember this. Here’s to all those amazing athletes, no matter which nation!

Monday, July 7, 2008
We are using LinkedIn more and more. For executives, managers, and senior professionals it is a personal marketing tool that should not be missed. However, a few recent clients have expressed trepidation about having their profile on LinkedIn when they are currently employed.SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "LinkedIn: Tips to Manage Employer Risk", url: "/archives/2008/07/07/linkedin-tips-to-manage-employer-risk.html" });

Thursday, June 19, 2008
Why would a company go the expense and time commitment of sponsoring a visa for someone, and in particular, someone who hasn’t landed in their target country yet and is trying to do a job search from overseas? What are the possible reasons or motivations? The hiring company has multi-country operations (and in particular your home country [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "International Job Search and Visa Sponsorship", url: "/archives/2008/06/19/international-job-search.html" });

Wednesday, June 18, 2008
As of today, we have a whole new design for our blog. We are still in the process of working out the kinks. I hope you like it. And you might also notice a switch in the URL of the blog, now at http://boldcareerblog.com. We are in the final stages of putting up a whole [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "New Theme for the BoldCareer Blog", url: "/archives/2008/06/18/new-theme-for-the-boldcareer-blog.html" });

Monday, June 2, 2008
The question keeps coming up. “What should I write in my resume’s objective statement?” We get this question from people at all levels. The fact that perfectly smart people don’t know what to do about this traditional section of the resume tells me that as an element of your marketing document (aka resume), it doesn’t [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Dumping the Resume Objective Statement", url: "/archives/2008/06/02/dumping_the_resume_objective_statement.html" });

Hmm. It has been too long. And you might be thinking that we have disappeared here at BoldCareer. That would be understandable. But not true. The fact is, things are busy. Very busy. But mostly around serving clients and delivering on commitments. I haven’t been great at prioritizing time here on the blog or for [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ebb and flow", url: "/archives/2008/03/17/ebb_and_flow.html" });

Monday, March 17, 2008
Just back from a trip to Singapore and Danang, Vietnam to deliver a few days of career development workshops. Loved it. Great trip. The overall impression I formed was that the region was on the move, and North America better watch out. Even in Vietnam, the service was excellent. Universities can’t keep up with demand.

Monday, January 7, 2008
When you are in the right business / job, one of the benefits of taking a real break, as I did during the Christmas to New Years stretch is that your brain starts to work in new and fresh ways. Your creativity is sparked. You see new solutions to old problems and opportunities where they didn't seem to exist back in November.

Wednesday, November 21, 2007
I am having one of those weeks. A pile of small challenges amidst the regular load and pace of professional and family life. Nothing major. A dropped and destroyed cell phone. Bad traffic. An overload of kid’s homework projects. Small things really. So, on this day before American Thanksgiving Day, I woke up being mindful [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Gratitude Edition", url: "/archives/2007/11/21/462.html" });
