http://kcdee5.blogspot.com/2011_02_27_archive.html
Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Help Keep America Working. In Illinois, during just one fiscal year alone (2010), Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funded programs served 52,000 customers and an additional 10,000 dislocated workers impacted by trade. Right now, congress is trying to cut the funds that make WIA programs possible. Show your support and tell everyone you know to support restoration of funding for WIA programs. Want to learn more?

On June 26, 2001, a new application from Monster.com showed up on the Facebook scene. BeKnown.

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. In our continuing series on soft skills or workplace skills our next topic is - work attitude. Just as the title says - Attitude is Everything. Attitude is everything no matter whether it is work related, job search related, or related to your personal life. If you have the proper attitude, everything is all right.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011. I heard a new term on the radio the other day - it was "helicopter parents". As defined by wikipedia - Helicopter parent. Have you ever had someone think that they were helping you, yet because of their "hovering" they really hindered your job search progress? If all else fails, make your plan, adjust as needed, and if you need help from someone, ask them specifically for what you need. Do you have experience with a helicopter situation?

Tuesday, May 3, 2011. Today is just a commentary on another blog article. This article from US News references those individuals who might not be on the cutting edge of social media and using it to their advantage for job search. It relates that those of us who are computer savvy may be spending too much time on the keys and not enough time face-to-face. And if you need to learn how to use this great tool, KCDEE offers a monthly workshop in Elgin and N. Aurora that is hands-on, for FREE. Note-Taking Tips...

Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Hmmmwhat do I do? At certain times in your life, your job schedule may need to be more flexible than others. Are you going to school, are you responsible for older or younger family members, or are you experiencing health issues that limit your ability to work? Other times, we just need to work 40 hours. Sometimes with a flex schedule or perhaps by telecommute. We have a listing of job search websites that include full-time, part-time and niche sites - job search page.

Thursday, June 23, 2011. Social Media and the job search. Are you using social media in your job search? If not, why not? LinkedIn has a search component that will show you who is posting about a particular term like "hiring" that you can drill down and get to your local area. Did you know that more men 63% vs. 37% women use LinkedIn.[Source: Pew Internet and American Life Project, Social networking sites and our lives, June 16, 2011] Women tend to be bigger users of the other social networks.
