2009 In Review

It's a New Year and a perfect opportunity to look back at some of the best Back to Work articles written over the last year...from ideas on great books to recommendations on job websites. These are articles not to miss. See below for our suggestions.

And, if you are struggling to figure out what you want to do next... join us on February 24 in Cincinnati for our next "Discovering Your Act Three" Workshop and if you are ready to go back to work but need a little help... join us January 21 in New York and February 25 in Cincinnati for our "Back to Work" Workshops.

Hope to see you at one of our workshops or if you want/need more personal attention, don't forget that our certified coaches can offer experienced individual help that can move you towards your goals.

Sincerely,
 
 

Julie Shifman
