The New Power Suit for Summer By CHRISTINA BINKLEY for the Wall Street Journal As Temperatures Heat Up, Conveying Power and Authority at Work Without Breaking a Sweat It’s summer, and the fever is spreading: T-shirts, Capri pants, sundresses and shorts are appearing in offices all over the country. Dress codes tend to relax in the summer months. It’s difficult to endure business-formal when it’s 85 degrees. But it’s equally difficult to maintain an aura of authority when you’re wearing a hot-pink golf shirt. When executives drop blazers, ties, and dress shoes, they are eliminating important clues to rank and […]

How do you use social networking in your job search? A recent NACE survey of 2010 graduates indicated that while over 90 percent of respondents have profiles on social networking sites, a much smaller percentage actually use those sites in their job search. Less than 30 percent feel that employers should view their profiles, which is understandable — most people use sites like Facebook for social reasons, and aren’t interested in blurring together their personal and professional lives. However, one piece of the survey was surprising, and I found it particularly alarming: Students using social networking as a job-search resource […]

Based on a NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) 2010 Student Survey, there is a strong link between the use of career services and a student’s ability to get a job offer. Here is what the results revealed: The more frequently a senior used career services, the more likely he/she would receive a job offer. The likelihood of getting a job offer increased with the frequency of use (those who used the career center four or more times a semester were more likely to have job offers than those who used it once a semester). Among those who had […]

This year’s slightly better performance is one of many signs around the […]
