New Year Diets

We can't have a New Year newsletter without talking about diets.  Just look at all the magazine covers in the grocery check out line.  A survey was conducted recently about providing cookies at meetings in the board room.  It found
 
80% say cookies improve the quality and outcome of a meeting,
 
50% take 2 cookies per meeting,
 
18% say cookies with chocolate are best to soften the blow of bad news. 
 
Well there you have it.  Throw out all those magazines that say you shouldn't eat cookies and listen to what the business world really thinks about the importance of cookies.

EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK 
 
The outlook for employment in 2009 is very difficult to predict.  There are many unknown factors, but even when we hear the unemployment rate of 9% in some of our states, that means that 91% are employed. And that is not all bad.
 
 I have been conducting  
an unofficial survey with clients and financial researchers and they are  predicting that by the middle of 2nd quarter employment will pick up.  They are telling me that by 3rd quarter we will see availability of jobs continuing to grow.  Much of this is based on the proposed stimulus package that the government is  putting together.  Infrastructure dollars should be a real boost to the civil engineering world and all the other professions they will touch. 
 
For those that are currently unemployed, under employed or plain unhappy with their current employment situation this is a great time to plan for the new opportunities coming forward in the next few months.  Take time now to develop your "sales" package.
1 - Rework your resume so that it gives a good taste of  your abilities in 2 or 3 pages.
2 - Include dates of employment, job title, position duties and documentable accomplishments (how you made or saved your company money - percentage or dollar figures are the best detail).  Include your education, degrees and licensing
3- Prepare a project list with project, date of project, cost of project and your responsibility with the project.  - this placed on a separate spread sheet is a plus.
4 - Obtain updated training in your field, obtain certifications or licensing (if available).  In other words make good use of this lull and you will be ready for the employment boom that is sure to be just around the corner.
