		<title>What does your resume say about you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Resumes vary in length and style just as people vary in appearance. This short, 1-2 page document (or more if applying to the federal government) is all you have to represent who YOU are, what accomplishments you have achieved, and demonstrate what makes you the best fit for the organization. The resume should be considered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oases in a turbulent jobscape</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though the storm clouds bearing down on the global economy have, in recent months, begun to part (some), and while the tides of pervasive uncertainty beneath which imperiled job seekers and job-holders were once submerged have begun to recede, there is still an overwhelming sense of job insecurity as a number of question marks, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>‘Job creep’</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While a constant parade of new, handheld, mobile devices has enabled us to adapt to, push forward, and thrive in the new techno-centric culture that emerged as a result of a slew of interconnected technological innovations that came to define the mid-late 20th century, culminating in the creation and spread of personal computing and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>When a job post just doesn’t seem right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look at enough job posts, and patterns begin to emerge—vague, almost indistinguishable, signs, which, once decoded, allow you to scratch away the post’s shallow façade, and in doing so, understand the post with greater clarity and insight. Of course, this heightened understanding, allowing job-seekers to ‘read between the lines’, also equips erstwhile employees with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uniting your passion with your profession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By Shun McGhee, Guest Contributor Walking through the mall as a wide-eyed 25-year-old I approached a book store. As I was just about to pass the store one of the books caught my attention. The title was “How I Retired at 26! A Step-by-Step Guide to Accessing Your Freedom and Wealth at Any Age” by [...]]]></description>

		<title>And the “world’s most admired companies” are…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are you familiar with the idiom, “perception is reality?” Although I find this idiomatic phrase, and the sensibility it represents highly suspect—for example, what if the perceiving person is delusional, and the facts of reality simply don’t correspond to his or her delusions?—I do think, as I am certain no one would disagree, it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Translating vacancy announcement jargon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After completing graduate school, I read thousands of job vacancies as each day I would sit behind my laptop pouring over the information returned to me by job listing aggregators like Indeed.com. For better or worse, the Internet is an ever-expansive information landscape, whose beginning and end are never in reach, and always out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keeping your shoes on in your next interview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nowhere does Murphy’s Law ring more true than in an interview. It’s a gauntlet. Something through which job seekers are forced to pass, hoping to make it out the other end intact; a series of carefully devised challenges, tailored to incite confusion, anxiety, and, sometimes, (mild) panic. For many job seekers, living through an interview [...]]]></description>

		<title>A case against cellphone usage at work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you remember your first cellphone? I remember mine; though, calling it a cellphone—which in some way seems to connote small or minute size—may be a bit of a misnomer. It was a large, rectangular prism which, in terms of its dimensions, size, and weight, resembled a red stone brick rather than a cutting edge [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reading resumes as cultural economic history</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever considered what’s driving lexical evolution? That is, have you ever wondered how forces of culture and language interact, and may influence each other? Although it can be difficult to trace effect to cause, determining how the introduction of certain words into the public lexicon may begin to impact or shape our cultural [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some advice for newly hired managers and executives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ardent career guru and Fortune contributor, Anne Fisher, recently received request from a would-be executive who will, very soon, be “parachuting in” to rather hazardous territory. Faced with a position captaining a division of a large corporation which has, let’s be real, rather bleak (or dire—take your pick) prospects, this inquirer asks Fisher to help [...]]]></description>

		<title>Translation vs. Transposition: How to apply military experience in civilian markets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Admittedly, the lines connecting military experience and professions in the civilian sector are not always clear cut. In fact, the translation of military experience into civilian terms is not always easy—some ideas, experiences, skills, and qualifications may not always seem translatable, computable, or easily applicable. Thinking about the difficult task of translation with which servicemen [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 14 unicorns of business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember writing a position paper as an undergraduate philosophy student, which, I suppose in some way, epitomizes how philosophy is sometimes characterized by popular culture: arcane, esoteric, and utterly preposterous (or bizarre). My target? I sought to expose the epistemological faults latent in empirical observation. My foil? The unicorn (its single antler does, after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you in love with your employer? 10 companies worthy of your affection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can already hear the objection. “Ryan, don’t you know that the title of this blog post inadvertently personifies employers by implying that an employer (an abstract concept) can be made the object of one’s attention?” Alright, so maybe that’s not what you’re thinking at this precise moment. In fact, I don’t think anyone would [...]]]></description>

While I have been able to reduce or eliminate most distractions from my day, there are still two, seemingly inexorable forces that, every day, try to pull me into an abyss [...]]]></description>
