5 Great Blogs about Careers
These blogs were mentioned in an article by Career Builder that can be found HERE. Each of these blogs touches on different aspects of the Career Search.
1. Personal Branding
About the blog: Writer Dan Schawbel has written extensively about personal branding. "Personal branding is how we market ourselves to others," Schawbel explains.
Why you should read this blog: Though much of the information is geared towards the Generation Y audience, it's important information for job seekers of any age. Having great skills and a great résumé isn't enough -- job seekers need to know how to package and promote themselves and their abilities.
2. Penelope Trunk's Brazen Careerist
About the blog: Columnist and author Penelope Trunk shares career advice as well as professional observations and personal experiences.
Why you should read this blog: Trunk's advice isn't sugarcoated; she gives direct, practical advice to her readers. She also revisits and revises conventional wisdom about career choices. This blog is also peppered with personal content; Trunk often speaks about the balance between work and home.
3. Careerealism
About the blog: The Careerrealism blog was created by noted career strategist and consultant J.T. O'Donnell. As she explains in the site's mission statement, the site is for "any person who recognizes that in today's workplace, the old methods for job searching no longer apply."
Why you should read this blog: Careerealism takes a comprehensive approach to providing advice and guidance and gives the readers ideas about finding and keeping their jobs in a brave new career world.
4. On Careers: Outside Voices
About the blog: The Outside Voices blog is featured as part of the business coverage in U.S. News and World Report. It's a collaborative effort, with staffers from the magazine and several career experts all contributing content.
Why you should read this blog: It's a collection of diverse viewpoints from some of the leading experts in the field, collected and published in one blog. The subject matter addresses a wide range of ideas, from practical résumé fixes to the psychology behind our workplace behavior.
5. Punk Rock HR
About the blog: Human resources expert Laurie Ruettimann posts her thoughts about the corporate world and HR's role in it. Ruettimann's expertise comes from her tenure in HR at various Fortune 500 companies.
Why you should read this blog: To succeed in a job search, it's a good idea to be familiar with the workings of HR, often the initial point of contact for any job seeker at a company.

Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale?
Upcoming GPPCMA Event - February 4, 2009 - 5PM
Who hijacked my fairy tale? How to hang on to humor when life doesn't go as planned. And, by the way, life never goes as planned. There's a part of the fairy tale they never told you about - the part where the charming prince grows a spare tire, the princess develops anger issues, and dreams of happily-ever-after turn into unpaid bills, dirty laundry, and dreams of killing him in his sleep. At some point, even the fairest of us all finds a page ripped out of our fairy tale. Join us as award-winning storyteller and humorist, Kelly Swanson, takes us on a hilarious and inspiring journey with her wacky cast of southern characters who will charm you, inspire you, and remind you how to stay on the funny side of life - even when things don't go the way you planned.
