job opportunities this week

tomorrow, saturday, i need to go to Kinkos and get my resume printed, because TUESDAY after work is the resume help/how to sell yourself (not in the street corner way, but in the 'hire me,' way) seminar and THURSDAY is the job fair. yikes. i'm scared! i do finally have appropriate clothing (almost.) Should I invest in a suit? will i be taken seriously enough without one?

Motivation #1

Monday, October 5th
Motivation #1:
Compile a list of the top 10 things you want to accomplish with this Motivation Group.

Just get the list down in print, ranging from specific to broad, from this week to this year (or through 2010). Put those things that you know you will need reminders to accomplish but won't need much help from us at the bottom.

For those of you who have used the Group, you could post an old list and give an update also. This may help to acknowledge what great things you have been able to cross off of the list. (I have our original lists and some updates if you need them.)

Post the list(s) by next Monday, October 12.

Keep a copy of the list, so that you can use the Group to help accomplish one thing at a time but also refer back to the list and update it as needed. Everyone should feel free to comment/question openly to and about each member's list. It should go without saying that we all may have different processes and pacing, so let's not be negative or disrespectful. I would like to ask that we not use the Group as another venting or social network site. All of us but one are already on Facebook. Unless we are critiquing a story or work about your life, please keep the casual banter and postings focused. The last Group failed to respond via email at some point; therefore, I hope this format will encourage submissions and comments. I will do my best to keep the Group going, even if individuals need to take a couple of weeks off to think or regroup or whatever. No judgments on other's work habits will be made.

Good luck and happy accomplishing!
