We All Make the Best Decisions

πŸ€”We all make the best decisions with the knowledge and resources we have available at that time. Think about it. Nobody INTENTIONALLY makes a decision they know they will soon regret. (Okay, maybe when we are talking about chocolate cake, but I digress.)πŸŽ‚

πŸ˜„Life changes. We change. Our needs change. And everybody has their own story. Bottom line is that you are allowed and even entitized to feel CHALLENGED, VALUED, RESPECTED, AND HAPPY.

LinkedIn Profile Checklist

😍Think about your LinkedIn Profile as Project that you are MANAGING and of course, a reflection of your PERSONAL BRANDING! Please take the effort to do a GREAT JOB!πŸ™ŒπŸ˜Š

πŸ‘€WOW - Did you know that people with a LinkedIn photo receive 21 times more profile views and 9 times more connection requests.

βœ… Remember, you are showing people why YOU would be AMAZING in this position, so don't get lazy about your photo.

(Hmm... because if you don't put much effort into your own profile, which is all about you, the person looking to hire you will wonder how much effort you will put into THEIR work.)

LinkedIn Photo Dos and Don'ts:

Please stop saying "take a chance on me"

Career changers and #transitioningteachers, here's a little secret. EVERY time someone hires ANYBODY, even an applicant with significant experience in that field, they are taking a chance. Because you never know.

They could be too aggressive. Not get along with the team. Have a bad attitude. (You know those people. Great work, but soooo hard to be around.)

Leave for a better opportunity. There are plenty of reasons why a highly recognized candidate may not always be a perfect match, even if they appear to be on paper.
