What to Consider When Between Jobs

Crossroads

When you’re between jobs, the last thing you want to hear is some motivational speech about how "when one door closes another one opens." The average platitudes we hear from well-meaning family and friends can become more than a little annoying. Still, it’s important that you don’t get too focused on the negative aspects of unemployment. The time you have now can actually help you find what you’re looking for; you just have to take a little time to consider several aspects of your current career track and your career goals.

5 Ways to Make your Weekends Productive

Weekend reading, from lilie Mélo

The sun assaults your eyes as it makes its way into the room through the tiny slits in your horizontal blinds. You roll over in your oh-so-soft bed and look at the clock. It reads noon. You roll back over and pull a pillow atop your face to block out the troublesome light.

If this is what your weekends look like, you’re likely robbing yourself of loads of productive time you could be using to get things done. Instead of allowing another two-day break to pass by without accomplishing anything, dedicate yourself to transforming your leisurely weekends into get-things-done days.

1. Make a List

Put Your Busywork on Autopilot

Office Shiva

Women today are busier than ever. Most of the time, you wish there were two of you just to keep up with all the things on your To Do list. The more successful you become, the more you feel like you need a personal assistant to keep your days in order. While a personal assistant or clone may not be the practical solution to the busy life you lead, technology has presented a few interesting options to help you manage your life, monitor your family and keep your busy schedule flowing.

Crossing The Digital Divide

Moodle

            Technology's integration into the modern classroom shows huge promise for education. But there are a few stumbling blocks on the path toward universal technology implementation in every classroom. If teachers and administrators are not advocates for new technologies in the classroom, there is little chance of it occurring by some sort of osmosis.

Google+: Reaching for the right tool

GooglePlus

Professional carpenters are distinguished from inept nail benders by their knowledge of what tools best match certain tasks. Unlike the person whose only tool is a hammer, social media users should view Google+ for what it is, not what some wish it were; it’s another tool. Just as a craftsperson wouldn’t use a chisel to do what a jig-saw could do better, networkers will do well to learn what applications best fit this new social networking implement. So far, those moving from early adopters to regular users seem to have figured out just that.

Women Starting Businesses Have An Edge

Young women in Science

          The presence of women-owned businesses in the United States is substantial, but they still continue to represent a minority. Though the 7.2 million majority-women-owned businesses – 1.2 million of those women of color – are a significant force in the economy, a number of factors remain to be addressed before those figures grow more quickly. However, revolutionary changes in technology may herald in an age where female entrepreneurs can get an edge on their male counterparts as relationships, a realm in which women seem to have an advantage over men, become increasingly important to a business’ success.

Make Yourself Through the Use of Online Social Media Networks

Social Networks - Connecting

In today’s computer-technology dominated world it can be difficult to make a name for yourself in your field of business, especially if you are a freelance entrepreneur. It’s crucial for all freelancers to understand and utilize the web and all its properties.

Starting Out: Create A Personal Brand Logo

Logos are used as tools of recognition and each person that intends to develop a name that resonates in the marketing world should use them skillfully. Your logo should consist of the bare-essentials of your brand’s identity. It can be created using the same color scheme and type choices as the website you should design for your brand (we’ll touch on this later on in the article).

Finding a Better Balance

Balancing

Keeping a healthy balance in your life can be hard.  And if you're contemplating going back to school as an adult, maintaining some kind of equilibrium in your life can appear nearly impossible.  But remaining at the top of your game while introducing another element into your work/life equation is not only possible; it's easily achievable if you have a game plan.

Consider Alternative Education
