"Well, there are a lot of things I'm good at...but I'm not sure if all of them are relevant," you may think to yourself. Never fear, the solution is here... There's really only <a href="http://www.careerealism.com/identifying-your-top-skill-sets/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one way to find out</a> what your top skills are. The formula is simple:<br />
<br />
Think of what kinds of activities and jobs you are naturally good at performing.<br />
<br />
THEN...<br />
<br />
Take note of which ones make you feel <i>more energized </i>upon their completion.<br />
<br />
After you finish those two exercises, you should have a pretty clear picture of what your top skills are. It's super easy, and the results might even surprise you. Give it a shot, and see what you think.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comAustin, TX, USA30.267153 -97.74306079999996729.828484 -98.388507799999971 30.705822 -97.097613799999962tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468118847555389506.post-87248722311674172562015-05-24T13:14:00.000-07:002015-05-24T13:14:16.833-07:00Five Ways To Regain Control of Your LifeLife can be very difficult to manage sometimes. It's all too easy to lose track of what-and-who you are, outside of your job, your responsibilities, and the image that others may expect you to portray. But, if you want to stay productive, and SANE, you must make time for <i>you</i> in <i>your life</i>. Here are five ways to regain control of your...<br />
<br />
<b>KEEP A DATE WITH YOURSELF</b><br />
Assign a specific date and time to treat yourself. Take things easy. Make it a statement that you will not let worries enter your mind during your date with yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>BE BOLD ENOUGH TO BREAK THE NORM</b><br />
Surely there's something you've always wanted to do...something you love, but are afraid others would judge you for. You should do that thing. It's very liberating.<br />
<br />
<b>TREAT YOURSELF LIKE A GUEST</b><br />
Tend to your needs and your well being. Treat yourself!<br />
<br />
<b>DON'T BE AFRAID TO SAY "NO"</b><br />
This is another liberating, and emboldening, step. Learn how to say no to those things that you really don't have room in the day for.<br />
<br />
<b>TRY NEW THINGS</b><br />
This one is pretty straightforward. It speaks for itself. Try new things! The famous writer Henry David Thoreau expressed this message over a century ago: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Obviously, he was open to trying new things. You should be, too!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comAustin, TX, USA30.267153 -97.74306079999996729.828484 -98.388507799999971 30.705822 -97.097613799999962tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468118847555389506.post-7679102148353293152015-05-24T12:53:00.000-07:002015-05-24T12:55:32.508-07:00Is Your Personality Working In Your Favor?Once you take some time to figure out who you really are and what you really want, you'll find that your job search becomes <i>much</i> easier to manage. Here are three valuable ways that <a href="http://www.keppiecareers.com/personality-can-help-land-lose-job/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">knowing yourself will help you in your job search</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>You Will Narrow Down Your Options</b><br />
By knowing well what you want and what you don't, you'll find that your list of options has been greatly narrowed. This will help you to focus and refine your job hunting tactics.<br />
<br />
<b>You Will Have A Better Knowledge of Yourself</b><br />
You will have better confidence, in coming to terms with yourself; and it will show. Interviews will run much more smoothly, as you will effectively able to communicate your strengths and weaknesses.<br />
<br />
<b>You Will Avoid Unpleasant Surprises</b><br />
This ties in with the first statement. You don't want to get hired for a position in a company that absolutely does not fit you. You can avoid that trap easily, if you just remain honest with yourself, and make your choices accordingly.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In
1975, during the construction of the Eufaula Municipal Hospital, one of the
first contributions was made by the friendly Lake Eufaula area supporters.
Here, Betty Price is presenting a check to me. I was appointed the Hospital Board Chairman. Looking on is Debby Burns, Eufaula’s first EMS tech. The hospital was
constructed, completed, and owned by the city. It stayed that way for over ten
years. In 1985, it was sold to private enterprise. The hospital is still in
operation on the hill. Every room has a view of the lake.</span><span style="font-family: Baskerville Old Face, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Joe Johnson is presenting the Key to the City to former County Commissioner,
Robert Lane, for his assistance in helping the city of Eufaula with many of its
growing projects, while saving the city many thousands of dollars. Robert
played a lead role in helping Eufaula in many ways. In particular, he helped to
extend Front Street, connecting it to Lakeshore Drive (behind Braum’s), thus opening
that area up for development. Not only did this construction allow that area to
develop, but it alleviated the traffic congestion on Main Street, as well. For
Mr. Lane’s assistance, Johnson got the city to name the stretch after the Commissioner,
himself. It is now called Robert’s Lane. </span><span style="font-family: Baskerville Old Face, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
