How Facebook Impacts Your Career The most important thing you must embrace is that EMPLOYERS WILL ABSOLUTELY GOOGLE YOU. If you have a name, you are Googleable! If you have any social networking account, even if just one—you are definitely Googleable, which means your reputation is searchable. So, now that we established this, what do you do with that information?
Given statistics that say that as much as 80% of people don’t like their job, and some 25% of us are un- or under-employed, here's a quick flow chart for questions to ask yourself about your current job — or a job you are considering.

It’s Not Lying, It’s Marketing - 10 Bad Job Interview Answers: You got the interview. You went home feeling pretty good about this one. But something goes wrong. You don’t get a call back. There is no offer. Here, just from the past two weeks, are answers I’ve heard from candidates and mentees to direct questions that could not have been more wrong.

Resumes Should Show What You Can DO (Not What You DID): To hire the right person, I don’t need an entire resume section dedicated to GPA or one-third of a page listing “relevant coursework. And definitely no objective statements describing how book smart applicants may be. Yet, these three academic sections alone accounted for nearly one full page of resume content. One full page, and I still know nothing about the candidate’s ability to do the job?
The 5 Defining Moments of Every Job Interview: In every job interview, there are five “make-it-or-break-it” moments that send the candidate onto the next round of interviews, possibly even a job offer, or to the discard pile.
In 7 Steps - Take Your Resume from Mediocre to “Must Interview”: During a panel formed to discuss business and career matters with college students, I was asked this question by a collegiate clearly frustrated, even scared, likely graduating with no job prospects in sight: “How can I win when I know my resume is one of 500 the company will get for this one job?” My reply (knowing the short answer was probably not going to help without further discussion): “Your resume has to not suck.”
5 Amazing Job Search Tips That (Almost) Nobody Follows: Job search advice is everywhere. It’s hard to know who to listen to – and even harder to know what advice really works… and what is just crap. So here are five “never-fails” pieces of advice – from job-seeking mindset to nailing the interview – that will make a difference in how you are perceived by recruiters… and WILL help you get a job or internship!

Does Lying on Your Resume Ever Pay Off?: Someone’s resume pants are on fire. Scott Thompson serves as CEO of the long-struggling internet company Yahoo. Or did, until a shareholder discovered Thompson had lied on his resume – stating he had a computer science degree he never actually earned. What happens when a reference check is made? Does lying on your resume pay off?
Are You Being an “Intern”? Stop!: Many college graduates are working for close to nothing, or free… as interns. For a lot of us, this position isn’t ideal, yet we keep putting ourselves in the same position – under-paid, under-utilized, un-challenged. At some point, interns must stop being “interns”. With consistent effort, we have the power to change most anything we wish about our roles.
Who Says Post Grad Internships are Ridiculous?: Graduating from college without a career plan is disappointing.I graduated recently, and I was frustrated. A friend picked up on this and gave me a serious reality check. My title may be “intern”, but I complete more meaningful projects, have more responsibility, and have much more fun than I do in my other “real job”!
You’ve sent dozens of resumes. But you’re not getting called by recruiters. And even worse – when you do get called, you’re not getting hired. What’s wrong with these recruiters?! Don’t get discouraged. As they say, “It’s not you. It’s them”. Wrong. It’s probably you. If all you’ve done is send resumes over and over – you ARE the problem.

Take Charge of Your Internship… Co-manage YOU!: A growing trend during internship experiences in small team settings: both the intern and the company learn a great deal, about themselves and their organizations. Since you’re considering an internship, or are about to start one, how do you ensure that you’ll thrive? Create your own internship within your internship – by co-managing your experience!
Time is Short! View Internships as a Sprint…not a Marathon: You may be familiar with the expression “Life is a marathon… not a sprint.” When it comes to completing your education, raising kids or building a career – that statement is probably correct. I would posit that the opposite is true for internships.
I Want You to Quit Your Internship!: You heard me. Draft a resignation letter… Pack up your cubicle… Say “adios” to the boss. Quit. Now. We understand this is a controversial statement for YouTern…
Get Hired: There’s a Better Way than the “Resume Spray and Pray”: We’ve all been there… reading the internship or job posting’s exciting title, and then the laundry list of qualifications that we don’t have (but wish we did). “I don’t have all those skills yet. But if they’d just gimme a chance, I know I’d totally rock at this job!” we tell ourselves.

Are Easy Excuses Making Your Job Search Difficult?: The other day as I watched the “50 Most Iconic Sports Commercials”, a vintage Nike commercial stood out as quite relevant to the job and internship search process (even if you’re not into sports, take a moment to watch…)

When Your Job Search is Finally Over… What Have You Learned?: A year ago, I severely hurt my back. I was terrified I'd spend my life in a wheelchair. As I finally started to improve, I said to myself: “Once I’m better… what will I have learned from this experience?” Many job seekers have struggles - feeling helpless and frustrated. When you finally get a new job – and you will - what will you have learned from your experience?

7 Rules for Success Steve Jobs Would Give to Inspire Interns: I read an interesting post called “Steve Jobs and the 7 Rules for Success” by Carmine Gallo. Gallo provided a synopsis of the rules and examples of how Jobs applied them to his entrepreneurial success. So I thought, what if Jobs presented these same 7 Rules for Success to interns?

“Gimme a Chance!” Is NOT a Job Search Strategy… Here’s a Better Way: “If they would just give me a chance!” We’ve all had this same pleading thought during an internship or job search. However, not all of us feel our search for employment relies on chance.

Seth Godin Is (Still) Wrong About Your Resume: Seth Godin is one of my mentors. Everything he says is marketing genius. He probably even orders coffee at Starbucks more awesomely than you or I do. I have to disagree with him, however, on one of his posts I read recently, “Why Bother Having a Resume?”
