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.
