Most of us organize our lives around having a job. Work is important to us, but a key question we ought to ask ourselves is why do we work? There are many reasons why people work. Some work for personal development; others work only for money. And some people work to gain prestige and possessions.Elbert Hubbard said, "We work to become, not to acquire." Work should neither be your only source of fulfillment nor something you without juice. Your true vocation is your life and work is only...
Last week I blogged about a StatsCanada report that noted that the participation rate of women in the workforce was declining, which is a sudden reversal of a decades long trend.

Many years ago when I hated what I was doing for a living I was
encouraged by my career coach to write down several short stories about
times and events in my life where I influenced the outcome. I was
stumped at first, but after a few days, I came up with over 15 pages of

grew myself and/or bettered the existence of either myself or others
around me.So what does this have to do with a job interview?If you read...
