Holidays hinder work productivity?
Posted on December 7, 2010
With shortened workweeks, holiday parties, presents to buy and busy family schedules, it can be especially difficult to focus on work during this most wonderful time of the year.
But even though many of us will have a lot more on our plates over the next few weeks, the holiday season — especially the week right before a holiday break — can actually mean greater productivity at work, according to a new survey from Accountemps.

Career Builders: Your Way to Success
Posted on December 7, 2010
These days, you can hardly achieve any exciting career advancement without taking career builders. It is nearly impossible to just walk into an interview or ask for a promotion without bringing any proof of you value. A career builder is what can help you gain or increase that value. With a good career builder you will definitely become an employer head swinger.
Career builders can take a number of forms, and the usual type include training, seminars, workshops and continuing education. If you willingly and actively participate in these activities, you are sure to get an edge over others.
If you are looking for a job, you may simply document (with evidence) in your resume the skills you acquired in the builder programs. These might be enough to convince your future employer of you value and you do not even need to be interviewed. In case you are currently employed, taking a career building program can help improve the package of skills and services that you can offer to your employer. Whether it is an improved work attitude or new skills, the employer will definitely notice you more.
When you inform your employer of your participation in career building programs, you are not only giving a hint that you have become more capable, skilled and updated in your field. You are also giving an indication that you are committed and eager to advance your skills and knowledge for the benefit of the company. An employer loves no one better than an employee who is always open to change and improvement.
There is no double about what good career builders can do you, but many people become clueless when it comes to choose the right one to take. This is not because of the lack of choice, but, rather, the huge of number of choices for you to screen. You do not want to get stuck taking the wrong one. How can you tell which program is good and appropriate for you?
To ask for the opinion of a career consultant might be the best way to get an answer. Career counselors have been especially trained to find out the strengths and weaknesses of a person in a given field. This will allow him to assess which program fits you most in your situation.
A gradual, long-term continuing education program might be the right option for some people. For others, however, a short-term condensed course may serve the same purpose of career development. The latter may include a one-day seminar on writing business letters, resumes and corporate memos, or some short courses about how to dress properly, how to speak in public and how to make simple presentations. Programs and seminars that teach you the simplest and most basic things may unknowingly be great career building helpers.
In any case, career builders are not something that you can put off for later. With the competition in the employment force today, you definitely have to consider them as part of your life, especially if you want to be better equipped to take on more demanding responsibilities and challenges.
