I’ve done it! I’ve finally finished my career resolutions! Usually, I’m well into the first month of the new year before I can actually get up the nerve to write them down. It always takes me some time to convince myself that I’m not going to poison pen myself by crafting impossible [...]
The department of labor has updated its 10-year employment projections for the period 2006-2016. This update contains few surprises worth mentioning, but of course, I will anyway.

My apologies. I’m a little slow this week because I’m distracted by the holiday season. I love this time of year, but it’s sooo busy–the shopping, the shipping, the packing, the planning, the shopping!

So, here’s the first [...]

The subprime mortgage mess, the sagging economy and the weakened US dollar have left employers cautious, to say the least, when it comes to spending, even planning to spend, money. Employers in every sector are being very conservative about growth plans, staffing plans, revenue projections and, unfortunately, employee pay raises.
A recent salary survey published [...]
Since I’m here in Argentina, seemed like as good a time as any to write about what it actually takes to live and work in Argentina. Right now, the big trend among the American and European nouveau riche (and the wannabes) is to snag low-cost lofts and apartments in Buenos Aires as second homes. These [...]
