CC Chapman Reach Interview

Stuck in neutral and feeling unfulfilled, you find yourself rummaging through the self-help section at your local bookstore. Suddenly a book title catches your attention and you pull it off the shelf as though you were handling a new born baby. Could this be it? Could this self-help book actually help you, help you? If that book is entitled Amazing Things Will Happen then the answer is yes! Although the international bestselling author, C.C. Chapman never really set out to populate the shelves of the "self-help" section, he managed to package some modern wisdom into a modest sized publication sure to inspire positive change in your life. Indeed, the self-help section is the last place C.C. ever wanted to find someone reading his book. The project actually started out as a way for him to pass down some fatherly wisdom to his kids. To be honest, when I found out my favorite content marketing strategist was writing a self-help book, I cringed. After publishing the wildly … [Read more...]

#1 Placement Specialist, Tony Beshara, Explains Modern World of Resumes

Tony Beshara

If you are reading this post as a recent college graduate, you are likely job-hunting armed with your finely tuned resume. Tragically, if you are reading this post as a middle-aged professional in America you are likely job-hunting armed with your outdated resume (or at least know someone who is). These are troubling times where job security seems to be a fantasy. For my recent college graduates, landing your first job in this environment may be the toughest task you ever attempt. It is far more difficult to land a job when you’ve never had one than it is when you have had a job. The good news – you are armed with the most updated job searching techniques and knowledge. For my middle-aged, seasoned professionals, being forced back out into the job hunt is demoralizing and terrifying. You likely have a family to support, a mortgage to pay, and kids gearing up for college. The good news – you are experienced. The question is: How can both of these competing classes land … [Read more...]

Gina Rudan Explains Practical Genius During Reach Interview

Gina Rudan

What would you say if I told you that you are a genius? Usually people respond to this type of flattery with a modest, humble response. Most people wouldn't consider themselves to be a genius at all. This is because we tend to measure genius by those who appear in history books or score above 160 on an IQ test. It's time we redefine genius and come to the realization that we are all geniuses in our own right. Albert Einstein was certainly a genius but could he lead a football team like Tim Tebow? Of course not. We each have our own type of genius that we must tap into in order to fulfill our true potential. The process of discovering your genius is best described by Gina Rudan, author of Practical Genius. Gina Rudan is our distinguished guest for the Reach Personal Branding Interview October 13, 2011 at noon EST. Gina will be having an interactive, one-hour long conversation with William Arruda, the founder of Reach Personal Branding. During the discussion, Gina will teach you how … [Read more...]

Light at the End of the Tunnel?

February 25, 2010 by 2 Comments

A pessimistic view says the light at the end of the tunnel is probably an oncoming train. I think there’s something to that, especially when you consider job search. Let’s face it, with a real unemployment rate between 16 – 18%, as of the start of February 2010, the likelihood is that looking for a job will take a very long time. Indeed, as the deterioration of the economy has unfolded, since late 2007, the average lengths of job searches have increased dramatically. Today, it is not uncommon to see folks take 12 to 18 months to find new jobs. This is clearly discouraging! Yet, when you ask these folks why it took so long, many will frankly own up to their over reliance on traditional job search approaches; namely resumes, cover letters, and job boards.  While the occasional job seeker may find a job the “old-fashioned” way, by applying for it, the majority achieved success when they stepped up their efforts to network. So, the lesson seems to be to make networking a … [Read more...]
