The complexity of gaining employment sometimes bewilder potential candidates. There are tips to "Building a Better you." These proven methods are explored within the pages of The Pink Slip- HR Secrets for the Displaced Worker...but today, the Human Resources Corner will share a few with you.
* Update your resume at least every 6 months. This economy does not lend to "guaranteed employment' so every 6 months is advised.
* When sending a resume/cover letter or networking correspondence--be specific , many are read daily, get to the point.
* The subject line was created for a reason- use it accordingly. Again, be specific.
* Unless sending a grant proposal, limit the amount of attachments sent. Many PC's now have so many virus software, that attachments may be detected as potential danger and deleted...state the information in the body (for more clarity google business writing do's and don't /email etiquette).
* Finally always include clear, contact information (email/cell) for follow up. time is short, searching for follow up information may cause you the position.

Envious of YOUR boss
Equip yourself with the the means to be the CEO of your own company. The primary reason that most CEO's succeed is simply: they keep trying. From errors they learn what to do to succeed. They do not focus on what was done incorrectly as much as the lessons learned. Life...is a learning tool...all should use.
The key is to try. Nothing can be gained if trial is not attempted.
Secondly, when pursuing your dream (whatever it is) make sure it is YOUR dream and not one that parents, siblings, spouses....have for you. It must make you happy in the pursuit for the monies, status, fame will come AFTER the work and seeds have been planted.
Partner with like minded persons. Engage in memberships with local community leaders and workshops, they will be your lifeline to daily occurrences in the various neighborhoods.
Finally, have faith in your self and your abilities...faith is free but very powerful. Being envious is wasteful....developing your Plan B-- priceless.

I was fired- why am I still suffering?
Many employees feel that in hindsight of a termination, the onslaught of a denial of unemployment combined with the lack of empathy from banks, mortgage companies, and bill collectors are in fact a double helping of The Pink Slip.
Some feel that in many ways , when there is no documented reason for justification of said termination, they still reap the pain. Fighting to obtain on employment benefits or Short term disability benefits are a daily task. Cobra is as such that even with full unemployment the chances of affording it are few.
Daily occurrences make being at home intolerable; when an opportunity finally is presented for employment, the much dreaded response of saying "yes, i was laid off", ads what most have described as insult to injury.
Why is it that when downsized the pain is continuous? Why can't, especially in this "educated environment," persons actually empathize with individuals in this predicament and assist more and dismiss less?
I trust that you, followers of the HR Corner, will take heed and lend an ear---soon it may be you. Which reaction would you prefer?
