It's important that you take risks when you are job searching, that you try something new and different instead of just sticking with what worked in the past. This poem is something I wrote about taking risks in Toastmasters, but it works no matter what you are doing. Be willing to try something new - a new taste sensation, a food you haven't tried before, a job that seems interesting, a book you haven't read... The possibilities are limitless and your personal growth will be tremendous if you try one new thing each and every day. By the end of the year you will have tried 365 new things. Some you will like, and some you won't, but you will have enhanced your capabilities.
You may not have heard about Toastmasters, but if you haven't, you should look it up at www.toastmasters.org and find the club nearest to you. Go and attend a ocuple of meetings. You will learn many new skills there which will help you in your job search. Toastmasters is all about communication - both speaking and listening. Members learn how to think on their feet and come up with answers to spontaneous questions. You will be amazed at how well this prepares you for interviews.
Trying Something New
Expand my horizons?
Oh no, I’m too scared,
I don’t think I’d know what to do.
I’ve grown used to the comfort
Of just coming and listening,
And maybe doing timing, or ah counting or quizzing.
But take on a role of Toastmaster, no way.
I might make mistakes. What would I say?
And table topics is frightening, people might boo,
When I introduce a topic or two.
Expand my horizons
Do you really think I could?
The thought just scares me to death.
Well, ok, not quite, but almost, but then,
That’s how I felt before I began
My weekly sessions at Toastmasters.
So maybe I can.
Ok, yes I’ll do it.
Sign me up.
I did it, I did it, and I did ok.
I really expanded my horizons today.
And it felt so good I’ll do it again,
Just give me that schedule
And I’ll put down my name.
Perhaps next week I’ll give my next speech
Or maybe even the word of the week.
My confidence grows with every new step,
And I look forward to things that I haven’t done yet.
I’m expanding my horizons and I’ll continue to soar,
As each week I’ll do something and then one thing more.
I want to say thank you to all of the group.
It’s because of you I was able to do it,
Because you supported me all the way through it.
Thank you for being there when I was afraid.
Thank you for helping me to be prepared.
Thank you for showing me how it is done.
Thank you for sharing and for having fun.
So expand your horizons and try something new.
Or you’ll never know just what you can do.
Here's to taking risks and facing challenges head on!!

Your Prescription For A Healthy Career
Although these statistics were quoted from 2006, the information contained in this report is as valid now as it was then, if not more so as several hundred thousand more people have turned 60 since then (including me). My mother is 88 and still living on her own, my boyfriend's mother is 75 and living on her own.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that eight of the 20 fastest growing occupations are in healthcare. In fact, more new healthcare jobs will be created by 2014 than in any other industry.
Why are healthcare careers so hot? Here are some of the major reasons:
Baby Boomers turn 60 this year. The population of elderly persons, who have greater healthcare needs, are increasing faster than the overall population.
In addition, Boomers' aging parents, whose life expectancies have increased in recent years, have caused the demand for home healthcare and residential care workers to increase significantly.
With the recent advances in medical technology, lifespans have increased, and new technologies make it possible to treat illnesses and injuries that in recent years may not have been treatable.
With federal law requiring that the healthcare industry technologically update its record-keeping practices and with health insurance becoming more complex, the need for administrative support in healthcare will also grow.
On top of these facts, many of those employed in healthcare will soon be retiring themselves, leaving vacancies in the industry. Now you can see why people interested in pursuing a healthcare career can be virtually ensured a lifetime of secure employment.
The Path to Healthcare
While it's not always necessary to complete a four-year degree program to work in the healthcare industry, the majority of occupations require completion of some kind of training program. Nurses, for example, may begin their careers with an associate's degree and Registered Nurse (RN) certification program.
According to CareerBuilder.com's Spring 2006 quarterly job forecast, nearly one in five hiring managers in the fastest growing industries, including healthcare, will be hiring administrative and clerical staff. That's especially true in healthcare. Medical assistants, pharmacy assistants, dental assistants, and other administrative positions, which only require training programs of two years or less, will be among the fastest growing occupations.
With such a healthy future in the industry, the prognosis is good for those considering a career in healthcare.

"My wife used to just sit around the house taking her perscription drugs for depression and anxiety. When she did work, she had trouble concentrating throughout the entire day. When we would take trips, she might be able to drive only an hour or so. Then, she started taking Veriuni's Diet Assist CLA. On our last trip, she was able to drive almost the whole way from Portland to Los Angeles and Las Vegas and back home! She no longer wants to just sit at home, and when she works, she can put in the whole day. CLA has helped her regain some the energy she lost due to Chemo Therapy and Radiation following her Breast Cancer treatments...she has also lost a total of eight pounds since taking CLA. I am now a happy husband because of CLA and what it has done for my wife!"

Life Is About Choices
Life is About Choices and the Decisions We Make
In our journey through life we travel along many different roads and paths. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are roads that lead to fame and fortune and roads that lead to isolation and poverty.
As we pass along these roads and paths we encounter various corners, detours, and crossroads. Some paths seem to easily lead us in a new direction, but often the most perplexing road that you encounter is a crossroad.
With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they lead, which road will you take? What is the guarantee that you will choose the right one? How will you make your decision?
First, it is important to remember that there are no guarantees.
You never really know where a road will lead you until you take it. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life. There are so many possible outcomes, which you really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you react to different situations.
It is important to act
Since life offers no guarantee you might as well take the risk and decide on a direction. It is only after you have made a decision and reflected on it that you realize its soundness. If the consequences or outcomes are good for you, then you have decided correctly. Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure. It is all a matter of perspective.
Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid. Here are some pointers that could help you choose the best option in the face of life’s crossroads:
• Get as much information as you can about your situation.
Just like any news reporter, ask the 5 W’s: what, who, when, where, and why. What is the situation? Who are the people involved? When did this happen? Where is this leading? Why are you in this situation? Oftentimes, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation.
• Identify and create options.
Discover what options the situation gives you? Sometimes the options may be few, but often they are numerous. But what do you do when you think that the situation offers no options? This is the time that you create your own. Make your creative mind work. Start brainstorming ideas - from the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas. Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to your head. Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end. If you have difficulty doing this, you can ask a friend to help you identify options, but make sure that you make the decision yourself in the end.
• Weigh the pros and cons of every option.
Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option.
• Trust yourself and make that decision.
Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself. Remember that there are no guarantees. So choose… decide… believe that you are choosing the best option for you at this point in time. You can always change your mind and take a different direction at a later date.
Whether it is the right decision or not, only time can tell. But do not regret making a decision, whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from it and remember that you always have the chance to make better decisions in the future.
When it comes to your job search, you don't have to stay in the same job year after year, you have choices. Assess your situation, brainstorm some ideas, and make your decision, then take action.

Work At Home Opportunity
I have been involved with SFI for a number of years and it is a business that pays consistently, has LOTS of customer support and training and is a great way to get started working at home.
Here are some comments from others involved in this SFI Opportunity.
"Two years ago I clicked on a small, three-line ad for the SFI opportunity. Having been around the industry a number of years, I could see in SFI what I did not see in most other opportunities...I began marketing my gateways within days. I now own a business that reaches every corner of the globe."

"I have owned my own business, or rather it has owned me, for more than 13 years. The freedom to take a vacation, spend time with my family, and have the financial security to take care of the future is still missing. I started looking at network marketing about two years ago, and after looking at several opportunities, I am convinced that SFI is one of the most duplicatable, professional, and viable opportunities in existence. If you follow the program and ask for help when you need it, you will succeed!"

Has Business Casual Gone Too Far
Get rid of the tee shirt that has your life motto or philosophy statement written across it. A simple white or colored tee works best.
Get rid of anything dirty, worn, torn. If you wash your car in it or wear it to clean out your backyard it's not right for the office.
Get rid of anything tight. That goes for guys too. Loose the tight jeans, tank tops or anything that is suggestive or bare. Short shorts are a no no and are in very bad taste.
Get rid of the backpack and save it for weekends. Invest in a good briefcase.
Get rid of the baseball cap. Save if for the softball game.
Get rid of your favorite tattoo, I'm not saying that you should go to local dermatologist and get it burned off, but at least cover it. The same goes for body piercing.
Get rid of those dirty sneakers .
And women should never ever go braless! I don't care if you're a 32AA, you ALWAYS wear a bra to the office.
What works best: A basic blazer in navy, black or tan over a great pair of pressed jeans and a white tee shirt. Denim shirts with khaki pants or skirts.
The look you want here is professional yet casual . If you still haven't a clue as to how to put it together, here's a tip. take a look at your boss's, boss.
The above is from Georgia Donovan's blog. For more information on Fashion and Makeup, check it out here:
