In addition, securing a federal contract can mean millions to a small a

There are many different career paths in the dental field today. Choices include a wide range of positions, such as: hygienist, assisting, and lab technician.Yet perhaps no other career in the dental profession is more accessible and exciting than that of the office manager. The dental office manager works much like the conductor of a large orchestra -- his/her job is to organize the many different aspects of a dental practice into one cohesive unit. This person serves both the patient and the dentist, and is able to juggle both responsibilities equally well.The dental

As a recruiter I have heard and read many suggestions related to job searching and career development. I've spent a significant amount of time helping people find their dream career and have also watched as some candidates have made huge mistakes that have prevented them from doing so.One of the biggest mistakes I've seen is when job searchers listen to advice without considering the source. Often the source isn't accurate.As a recruiter, I get paid to help people find new jobs so I have to know what is right and what is wrong when it comes to job searching.Here are

I had the great privilege of meeting someone who truly had a passion for his career today.I had to buy a suit for some upcoming speaking engagements today at Joseph A. Banks. The gentleman who waited on me was named Milton. As I began to look at suits and get to know this “Milton man” it became very obvious that this man loved to sell suits for a living.It is unfortunate that we do not have more retail associates like Milton. He was very careful to take everything into consideration when speaking with me about what I wanted in my new suit. We looked at every color and

If you can’t go the distance, give your place on the team to someone who can. Figure skater Michelle Kwan recognized early in her practice that her groin injury would compromise her ability to win the gold. She gave up her place on the Olympic team to Emily Hughes to give the U.S. a better chance.
In business or sport, it is crucial to assemble the best possible team. Have the courage to make the tough calls when assembling your team so your vision for company performance has its best chance to shine.
It is far better to under-promise and over-deliver than run the risk of a highly visible defeat. The U.S. ski team was heralded as the best in the world prior to these games. Expectations were high, and many of them were dashed in the snow.
A lesson for business is to fly below the radar, keep focus on the end game, and emerge victorious with your team for having applied consistent effort on performance that speaks for itself.
If you falter, get up. Skier Li
