Career Talk

The latest lingo: "Zero Drag" refers to a candidate or employee who has no children or obligations and can receive email 24/7 or work unlimited hours (in other words, someone without a life beyond work). Not a pretty thought!

WORDS

WordSpy: http://www.wordspy.com/ - This Web site is devoted to lexpionage, the sleuthing of new words and phrases. These aren't "stunt words" or "sniglets," but new terms that have appeared multiple times in newspapers, magazines, books, Web sites, and other recorded sources. Here, you'll find entries such as:

career coach (kuh.REER koch) n. A guide or advisor who helps to plan and manage a person's career. Ckeck out my site: www.resumesuite.com

Career Management

It seems "interesting" to me that most people spend more time planning their vacation than planning their careers. The average family will spend $2274. on their vacation this year.

Yet, they will balk at spending less than that on career management coaching or their job search--in order to have a job they love so they can take that well-deserved vacation!

Think about this while you're sitting on the beach pondering a career move this year! And when you return, check out www.resumesuite.com to see what we can do for you.
