8 Mistakes You Should Never Make On LinkedIn

      What do you do with your LinkedIn profile?   Do you check it only every once in a while when a connection request comes through? Have you linked it to your Twitter account? Did you never quite remember to sign up in the first place?   As much as it’s convenient to merge our Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram accounts into one large social networking experience, LinkedIn has a special designation: professional networking.   And there is a difference between professional and personal networking, according to LinkedIn Career Expert Nicole Williams: “I see the same mistakes over and over!”   And, on LinkedIn, those faux pas can damage your career.   In fact, data shows that LinkedIn is especially helpful when it comes to landing higher-paying jobs—”informal recruitment” is a favorite of hiring managers aiming to fill positions up there on the payscale.   So

10 Tips for Better Job Interviews

    This post is by Eileen N. Sinett, a speech and presentation leadership coach, communication consultant, author and keynote speaker.     While the job search process has changed dramatically over the last few years with the advent of social media and online procedures, these tips for job interviews are still tried and true. Prepare! In an interview, unlike a game show, your role goes beyond merely answering each question. Develop a succinct and confident mini-presentation that sends the message of leadership, character and confidence. Know and own (don’t memorize) your 1-minute summary of skills, talents and achievements.

As true as that might be, a 2010 study from Princeton University found that, while money doesn't necessarily create happiness, it certainly doesn't hurt. Up to a cap of $75,000 a year, salary increases dramatically affected how participants in the study rose above certain adversities. For example: 51 percent of divorcees who made less than $1,000 a month reported they felt sad or stressed the previous day, compared to only 24 percent of those earning more than $3,000 a month. 41 percent of low-earning study participants with asthma reported feeling unhappy, as opposed to 22 percent of the wealthier group. "High incomes don't bring you happiness, but they do bring you a life you think is better," say the authors of the study at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School. Careers that offer a national annual median salary of at least $75k The Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS.gov, 2012) most recent job projection numbers show six differen
