<description><![CDATA[Many people purport to show how you can take charge of your career change, but few of them have the personal experience or credibility to convince you that it is possible. Many others would even try to tell you that it can't be done, but that is just their lack of imagination. All that you really need is some expert help and your own desire to make it happen. When you know what is involved, you can use a very direct approach to drive your career change.]]></description>

<title>The History of Scotch Whiskey or Whisky?</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 20 Feb 2007 09:10:04 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[To the dismay of Scotch and other whiskey drinkers, whiskey was first taxed in 1644.  This caused a rise in the number of what we would today call "bootleggers" who made and sold Scotch whiskey illegally.  Later in 1823, the Scottish Parliament made it easier for one to own a licensed distillery and harder for illegal whiskey stills to stay in business.   This began the modern production of Scotch whiskey.]]></description>

<title>The Definition of Success Means What Precisely?</title>

<description><![CDATA[The definition of success is different for everybody, so success means what precisely? For some it will mean achieving financial independence whilst for others it will mean getting out of debt. Some people will view success as overcoming major personal obstacles such as learning to walk again after a personal injury, while others will only consider they have succeeded when they climb Mount Everest!]]></description>

<title>Don't Worry About Structured Interviews and Your Competences - Here is What to Do</title>

<description><![CDATA[Where do your competences come from? Competence comes from your skills but you would be mistaken to think it automatically means "high-level" skills. What structured interviews are about is establishing whether the competence you already possess is at the appropriate level for the job. What you should now see is that you don't need to worry about structured interviews and your competences, because they are simply relative to the job you do and not some imaginary scale of high-level skill.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sending a short handwritten 'Thank-you letter' after the interview will only take you a couple of minutes, yet the effect could carry you through at least to the next stage, if not to an immediate job offer.

Don't think you might lose by sending this. If you weren't going to get the job anyway, it won't make any difference, but if you are in with a chance it could tip the balance of the final selection in your favour!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Resume writing is one part science, one part art and three parts pure marketing. What you must realise is that you need to change your writing style to produce the most compelling document that demands a reaction from the reader.

<description><![CDATA[The point when you come to write your resignation letter can represent a difficult period of time.  Writing a resignation letter isn't always easy - you need to handle it professionally or it could have a serious impact on your career in the future.  Resist any temptation to sound off about any grievances you held or where they can stick their job, the short-lived satisfaction really is not worth the possible consequences.

<description><![CDATA[Some unimaginative interviewers still ask the question "What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?"  mostly however, you will find the question being put in different terms although you will know it is this same strengths and weaknesses question.  What you may hear is "explain the top 3 skills you possess" or "what would your colleagues say you are good at?" - these are all positive and easier to respond to as you can talk about your good side. The weaknesses question on the other hand is not as easy to face and this is the one that bothers so many people.  Yet you should seize it, its really a gift.

<description><![CDATA[It's true that some jobs demand a more flamboyant approach than others and every cover letter needs to be interesting; however 'Marketing' by its nature can be illustrated most effectively when you adopt a 'marketing' style for your job application cover.

As a marketing cover letter it should pique the reader's sense of interest, illustrate the way the applicant understands the advertiser's need and create the desire to find out more. How do they find out more? By inviting you to an interview of course.
