First, I owe you all an apology for taking so long to get this recording posted. But here it is – finally! Rick and I did our best in the call to cover as many questions as possible. We definitely covered a lot of ground. I hope as you listen that you will find that your concerns were addressed. If not, check out our previous calls. You will probably find what you need in at least one of them.

Call #17: Questions…So Many Questions

It is our hope that in the last few months we have provided you with plenty of information to help you in your job search. If you listen to all the recordings and don’t find the answer you need, feel free to post your question here on the blog. I will get back to you with an answer as soon as possible.

In the meantime, please have a safe and enjoyable summer!

Last Night’s Call and a News Flash

Hi, Everyone!

Last night, Rick and I talked about the issue of time gaps in your resume – and how to handle them effectively. The biggest takeaway from the discussion was that you don’t have to be too specific about such breaks. There are several ways to minimize their effect, including using the resume format that we encourage because it puts the focus on your skills and the value you bring to a company. This should more than compensate for any periods that you weren’t employed.

We also revisited the age discrimination subject because we continue to get questions about it. I hope that the additional "ammo" we provided will help those of you who are facing this challenge (I was going to say "problem" but we want to keep this discussion positive;-)).

Anyway, here is the link to the recording so you can catch up on what you might have missed.

Call #16:Resume Time Gaps + More on Age Discrimination

As for the "News Flash", we wanted to let you know that we have decided to do next week’s call and then break it off for the rest of the summer. However, we won’t be leaving you high and dry. The blog will remain active so job seekers will still have access to all the materials we’ve been covering over the last few months. So please continue to use and tell your friends about this resource.

Given that it will be our last one for awhile, Rick and I have decided to devote the entire hour next week to Q&A. Therefore, be sure to take this opportunity to register and ask about the issue(s) that are most important to you.
