Long time . no post

So I am trying to be better in the New Year and contribute more to my blogs. Previously I have been posting tips on how to get the job you want and while I will continue down that path I think it would also be helpful to know what is going on in my office: current jobs, ideas, volunteerism, etc.

TPM in the workings

After the new year we have really begun to see a shift in the amount of contract/ contract-perm positions we have available. Before = 3 pages of jobs - now = 7 pages of jobs.

Companies have worked their budgets and are looking to move forward in 2010. I really do believe this.

We are working on positions from QA analysts, .NET developers, to Project Managers. We have had quite a few requests for remote workers. This is great news for Atlanta since the traffic is so awful and can save someone a TON of money.

The Proven Method has decided to participate in Habitat for Humanity. I am very excited for us to join a team in March and work together a little to help other people.



I think every company should contribute their time in some way. Builds CHARACTER!


We have also definitely updated our website since the last time I posted.

TIP OF THE DAY

- When a prospective employer asks you a detailed question about a previous project, answer with specifics about the work YOU did and be sure to ask if you sufficiently answered them...

I have found lately that when asked to describe previous work experience candidates are far too general in their answers. This can keep candidates from seeing the client or making it past the first phone screen.

What is to come :)

New to blogging I sit here wondering how to begin. Of course I think of bringing brilliant ideas to the people I talk to everyday in hopes of silent applause for all my great hints. However, reality hits and I realize that at the least I hope that someone takes the time to read this blog, a series of "cliff notes" to the articles I read and the experiences I have on a daily basis.

I realize this is a nessecary tool in reaching new places in my networking career and helping more people. Everyday I get asked questions on how best to present a resume, win an interview, find the right fit, and make the next best decision in a change of career path.

I hope to bring some humor to your life and share some of the ideas I have for an easier and smoother career transition or how I think I could do things better. I welcome your comments and hope that you leave them.
