For the past few weeks i have been working with a variety of clients seeking experience IT and Accounting Finance managers for a SAP project. I have found that is difficult locating professional in this market. Although the unemployment index is above 10.5 nationally. In some areas it is over 20.0% and the economy is very affected. Given this high unemployment why is it people have not differiented themselves in the job market, and seeked additional training.

I am not saying everyone is going to be an SAP programmer. However if we all trained or requested additional training perhaps we can resolve our problems and lower the unemployment index. Just a Thought!

It has been a while since i have posted to my blog. I have been busy with training and coaching executives who are having a difficult time with locating a new position and need some career advice.

The best advice i have for anyone today seeking a new position is to never give up or become not focused on our goal and objective. We have to try and change the way we do things with looking for a job, interviewing, resume writing, and proper attire for the job.

i am going to update my content more frequently and continue to write and empower people to change.
