Taking Charge Of Your Career
The workplace has changed dramatically in the 21st century. Surprised? Of course not. You’ve been hearing terms like empowerment, cross-training, entrepreneurship, reengineering, and downsizing, and so on for quite some time. Like most people who have spent even a minimum amount of time in the workplace, you’ve probably experienced and lived through one or more of the actions listed above.But who is deciding how such actions affect you or your business? Believe it or not, most employees, managers, and business owners are still content to merely react to changes that impact them without really thinking about the long-term consequences. They are under the mistaken impression that the company, government, or someone else, will look out for them and their careers or business.But the workplace has changed dramatically: unless you become proactive and self-reliant in your career or business, you will at some point g

Most of the questions are ones which lead to other questions which you can begin with a "why?" "when?" " where?" "what ?"OPENING QUESTIONSTell me about your greatest strengths? What would be the greatest asset you’ll bring to our company? What is your greatest weakness? How do you plan to resolve it?

23 years of loyalty and dedication – and what did I get for it? Fired! Yes, I am down – struggling to start a business, ostracized from a field that I was a leader in for over 20 years and financially on the edge, but do not count me out! Yes, I am trying to pull my life together and move on, but you can’t move on without clearly understanding the past. If reading my story today compels one person to go into their office tomorrow and request that any and all promises of equity, stock, options, or promotion or compensation plans be verified in writing, then I will have accomplished my goal. If your requests are turned down – start making plans to cut the cord and find another career opportunity, for you have just become expendable!

Is an Invention Service Company the Solution? Very Few Inventors Ever See Successful Results
Every television viewer has seen the infomercial spot showing the forlorn, wanna-be inventor, crushed, their idea being successfully marketed by another party. He did not get a patent. The answer offered in the commercial, contact an invention Submission Company, get a patent, market your product or opportunity to thousands of corporate decision-makers, get rich. This is the American Dream, is it not?One of the saddest aspects of my work as a new product development and marketing consultant is the whole area of invention submission firms. We see dozens of entrepreneurs every year: mentally torn, financially rocked, hopes depleted after their experience with the invention mills. In a number of cases real opportunity has been slaughtered. In many other cases the product or service offered would never be a realistically viable commercial opportunity, and any capable consultant would honestly advise such.Essential

Beware Of The Counteroffer
A counteroffer is a ruthless and potentially hazardous renegotiation of your salary with your current employer, which occurs when you threaten to leave for employment with a competitor. Although the counteroffer is almost always a lose- lose proposition for the job seeking candidate and the employer, we see candidates entertain the notion all the time.When you accept a counteroffer from your present employer think about the impact on your current situation and the long-term future with that employer. Also consider whether you are truly the winner in this employment strategy. Many employees who give their 2-week or 30 day notice are receiving counteroffers from their current employer as an incentive to stay. Before going any farther, think about the horse that pulls the cart struggling to reach the tasty carrot day in and day out. Trust me the horse has it better than you in this situation. Don’t be a fool and d

I ask myself how could this have happened and now in looking back, obviously this was the only way I was ever going to extricate myself from the narcissist that I worked for – who was more interested in finding a scapegoat for the failure of his business than he was in taking his share of the responsibility.
Ken Lay and Bernie Ebbers, move over! Have I got a guy for you. His name is not important – actually nothing about him is. He is a small man, with a small mind but a large ego. I was in business with him for 23 years. And when I no longer served his purpo
