Job-Hunting Tips for the Older Manager / Executive
Are you an over-50, unemployed executive or manager? Been looking for a new job or career for a long time? Frustrated? Think it’s hopeless?Finding a new job or career, at any age, is NOT hopeless. But it does demand knowledge, exposure to employment possibilities, and a positive attitude, especially as we grow older. It means that “Yes!,” not “No,” must be the operative word, the word that propels us toward what we really want to do (even when we’re not quite sure what that is).The Challenge of FearPerhaps the greatest obstacle to all in the job market is fear. We fear that we will fail to find a new job or career, or that if we do, we will fail at it, not make enough money, get dead-ended, be unhappy, go backward in our career, etc.The trouble is that such fears can hold us back. In his wonderful best-seller Who Moved My Cheese?, Spencer Johnson, M.D., set forth a few simple rules that apply to most everything we do in life, including finding a job or career. It’s the allegorical tale of two mice (Sniff and Scurry) and two “littlepeople” (Hem and Haw) who are as small as mice, but think like humans. All four happily inhabit a maze, living off their store of Cheese, which they found years and years ago. But one day things change: someone moves their Cheese.The two

Building a Great Workplace for Low-Income Workers
Low-income workers face tough obstacles. From a reluctance by Congress to raise the federal minimum wage above the level that was set a decade ago to the fact that four out of 10 low-income parents below between 100 and 200 percent of the poverty level don't receive any kind of paid time off (according to the Urban Institute), it's no wonder trickle-effect issues, including rising debt and home foreclosures, make more headlines than ever.And then there's the heated, increasingly multifaceted immigration debate, which affects some 12 million undocumented foreign workers in the U.S. The Urban Institute also published research which found that in 2001, immigrants represented 11 percent of the country's population, but 14 percent of all workers and 20 percent of low-wage workers in our economy.Currrently, the U.S. Senate is working on a bill that would include a guest worker program and a path to citizenship for the illegal immigrants already here. If this bill becomes law, businesses – over 99 percent of which are small firms, according the Small Business Administration – will need to concentrate on how best to educate and grow the skills of their immigrant employees.However, this focus is already on the minds of many progressive small business leaders.

An Interview With Santa
You’ve been hearing about the use of videos in emails and websites, plus the fact that Google bought YouTube recently for $1.6 billion. You can use audio the same way. If you want to differentiate yourself from others, there are two new ways to do so using common tools available. If you have Windows in your computer and a microphone, you can make good audio recordings yourself. Then you can insert these recordings into emails or on your web site. Even if you can’t make a video, you can use still photos accompanied by an audio recording that complements the visuals.This can be uploaded to the major video sites, like YouTube, Google Video, Blinkx.tv, vSocial.com, Jumpcut.com and many others. I received quite an introduction to this recently. My niece, Rebecca Warner, asked me to help her with a school project. She is studying audio and visual arts management at community college. Her final project for this year entailed “An Interview with Santa.” Now you can imagine quickly who she wanted to play the part of Santa. My unnecessary girth (still working on losing it!) added to the attraction of course; but my voice was the key factor when recording (my too big belly not being seen by the public). Rebecca and a fellow student wrote a script. She sent it by email. I went through the script, made a few min
