One of my favorite weeks of the year is here – Valentine’s Day! I hope you have a great week, filled with happiness and love.
And, speaking of love – do you love your job? I recently took a CNN.com quiz called, “Is your job awesome?” As I expected, my job was rated as awesome. What would you rate your job?
The quiz includes questions like:
- Do you like what you do?
- Is your job low stress?
- Does it benefit society?
After you answer these questions and a few more, the CNN Money poll rates your job’s awesomeness. And, even better, it compares your answers to the other people who have taken the quiz. As of today, over 8,500 people have responded.
If you’d like to rate the awesomeness of your job, check out their interactive poll here.
And, if you don’t love your job, now’s the perfect time to do something about it! The job search season is just getting warmed up. Companies are posting many new positions and there are job fairs happening all over the country.
But, before you start, you should ask yourself how prepared you are. How ready are you to jump into the deep end of the pool? The job market is still very competitive. You need to ensure your resume, LinkedIn, and overall personal brand are up to date and polished.
If you find you still have work to do, I’m happy to help. You can reach out to me directly here to setup a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your goals.
I will also be presenting my workshop, “Branding Yourself,” on Tuesday, February 24th at 6:00 PM at Christian Brothers University in Memphis. The workshop is presented as a partnership between the 2nd annual Multicultural Career Expo, Christian Brothers University, and Copeland Coaching. The event is free to the public, so please mark your calendar if you’d like to attend.

My latest Memphis Daily News column is out, “Using Creativity in Your Job Search.” In it, I share a story of my own creative job seeking and hope to inspire you to think outside the box.
It goes without saying. Applying online can be a long, difficult process. You’re often left wondering if anyone has read your resume, or if they even know you exist at all.
Earlier this week, I read a story of a creative job seeker who found work passing out resumes at a train station. This inspirational tale reminded me of my own job search years ago.
While attending graduate school, I lived in Los Angeles. I was interested in the apparel industry and wanted to work at the Gap’s headquarters in San Francisco. I checked with my school’s career resources department to learn the Gap’s recruiters weren’t on the schedule for a campus visit.
Although this was disappointing, I didn’t give up. Instead, I started researching. It took some digging on the Internet, but I found an alternative.
To learn what the alternative was, and how you can be more creative in your search, check out my entire Memphis Daily News column here.
