The Six P’s
Most people are familiar with the five P’s of task accomplishment: prior planning prevents poor performance. When it comes to career transition and job-hunting, however, there are six additional P’s to consider.
Career transition elicits a broad range of emotions. From elation to frustration, from glee to disappointment, from pleasant surprise to disbelief—the typical job seeker will likely experience it all. Keeping the Six P’s in mind will help you maintain your perspective during this wild ride and enhance your chances of a successful landing. Let’s take a quick look at each of the Six P’s: patience, persistence, professionalism, presentation, politeness, and preparedness.

Organizing Your Thoughts for Retirement
We’re swiftly reaching that long-anticipated change in military status from active duty to retired. Wow.

It’s most noted for being the home of Notre Dame and is where Studebaker cars were once manufactured.
