The Career Training Connection – August 31, 2010

Quote of the week:

“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”
- Douglas Adams

Thought for today:

It seems like so many of today’s topics focus on being a manager. Do not believe the hype, position power is NOT the only power that works.

Upcoming Features:

How do personal problems affect productivity?

Next month the career spotlight will feature how to become a paralegal.

Future spotlights include becoming a Freelance Grant Writer.
