The Gatekeeper

June 11, 2009

Have you often wondered what you were doing wrong when looking for a job?? Have you felt like something must be glaringly wrong on your resume or cover letter? Your not alone!

I have often wondered what I was doing wrong when searching for a job. It is a difficult and terrifying process. Every time I have searched for a new job – it seems to create the feeling that something was seriously wrong with my professional credentials.

The good news is there is a lot of information out there to help you stack the odds in your favor. By following the advice in this article and others on this blog you should be able to master the art of being noticed for the right reasons.

Like any sort of courtship – you always want to put your best foot forward while applying for a job. By dotting your t’s and crossing your i’s – you leave no opportunity to reject your candidacy.

Remember at the end of the day it is still a relationship you are looking to build! Follow the directions, put your best foot forward and good things will begin to happen.

Very interesting perspective on using social media sites for finding a job!

Enjoy!!!!

Brilliant or Stupid Branding Decision

May 29, 2009

Jurry’s Hotel Boston has up and decided to change the name of its Boston location to The Back Bay Hotel. The name Jury’s does give it some cache – but will the name Back Bay Hotel give it more cache?
Is the regional neighborhood name more of a draw than the international luxury brand name?
