Welcome
Dear Readers:
Welcome,
new subscribers and loyal readers!
Recently
I spent a lovely fall weekend in Sag Harbor with my dear friend Liz. The
beach was gorgeous - it was a windy day and the surf was rough -
the colors reminded me of a Winslow Homer painting. Memorable!
It’s
always so good to get away, especially to a beautiful setting. So much
is happening now - the election, clients planning for the rest of
the year and figuring out how they want to move forward. Make time to
commune with nature, it’s restorative.
You asked

Search Tips:
For those
who are job-hunting: post an updated resume on your professional or trade
association’s web site. Recruiters and search professionals will
often visit these sites looking for “passive” candidates.
Don’t
know which trade association to join?
Check out
the Encyclopedia of Associations in the reference section of the public
library. It lists every professional and trade organization in the U.S.
and you can search by industry. Once you have found organizations that
you would like to explore, capture the web site address and then click
on the local chapter link to locate upcoming events in your area.
You don’t
need to join right off the bat. You can attend an event as a guest to
determine if the organization meets your needs. Joining professional organizations
can be an excellent way of networking and raising your profile among colleagues
and hiring managers in your industry.
