Welcome to RichmanResources – a blog
by Joyce Richman

Most of my coaching practice is focused on helping people get, keep or change a job. This blog has two primary categories that I write about and hope you will find helpful:  The Job Search and Managing Your Career.

• The Job Search – the posts in this category are about getting or changing a job and cover everything from your first job to a mid-career transition to post-career purposeful work.
  
• Managing Your Career – keeping your job, transitioning through promotions, managing relationships and continuing to develop skills are the kinds of things included in these posts.

In addition, there are a few other categories I seem to consistently write about that are important to both getting a job and keeping a job such as Networking and Family Matters.

I also have some occasional Advice for Employers and answers to your Questions. You can also find helpful information in my Greensboro News & Records columns or through viewing my WFMY videos.   Finally, if you want to see who is quoting me or other announcements, see the posts under In the News.

Roads, Routes, and Ruts

Joyce Richman wrote Roads, Routes, and Ruts: A Guidebook for Career Success in response to the requests of readers of her advice columns, television viewers, radio talk show listeners and program participants.
In the book, Richman first addresses the importance of identifying children’s strengths and active parental guidance during childhood development. She notes the need for balancing a child’s interests and outlook through new and different experiences.
For college graduates, the author looks at the importance of understanding job market trends and the need to realize the possibilities these opportunities hold, rather than the limitations they may present. Richman examines the job search process including the development of a resume, researching prospective companies, improving interviewing techniques and the power of networking.
The author discusses getting out of a rut through career enhancement and advancement techniques that include self evaluation, stress management, attitude adjustment, continuing education and networking.
Other topics include preparing for corporate downsizing and layoffs, dealing with unemployment and the hidden job market. Roads, Routes, and Ruts is filled with tips and strategies that illustrate the author’s expertise on how to get a job, and how to change jobs.
