We are also on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Youtube! | Hello Isodifj!  Happy Spring! This is the time of year for cleaning out the clutter. I loved this video from Ted Talks about adjusting your mindset to think more positively. This Harvard professor talks about why happiness can be a greater indicator for success than talent can...very interesting. My birthday is in March, I celebrated 39 this year. Here's a picture of my son and his friend Kate singing happy birthday and delivering my cake.
In This Issue: Our Career Corner article shows you how clean up your career direction if you are unhappy in your job. Remember many people just need a tweak, or a spring cleaning, rather than a dramatic change! So don't feel you HAVE to change industries completely, sometimes an adjustment is all it takes. Client Success Story: Client James in Pennsylvania has had 4 job interviews so far this year in IT. He's waiting to hear back from 2 companies this week. Practicing for his interviews has really paid off. He had a Skype interview with 4 people a couple of weeks ago, grace under pressure with that one. Congrats James, fingers crossed.

Career Corner  Can Your Career Path Use a Spring Cleaning?
It's that time of year again, when the weather starts to warm up and the flowers begin to bloom. It's common to take this time to tidy things up a bit and prepare for the new season. What about your career path? Are you in a mess of confusion regarding your ideal job? It can be a challenge to keep moving forward when you are in this frame of mind. Maybe it's time to get some clarity with a spring cleaning. Here are three strategies to help you spring clean your career path, and get on track to land your dream job: 1. Dream first and get practical later. If you get practical too soon, you can cut yourself off at the knees with your brainstorming ideas. If you allow yourself to dream first and dream big, you may come across a career idea you never considered or even knew about. Tap into your childhood dreams; tap into your passions and your heart.
2. Clarify what you want by identifying what you don’t want. As a career coach, I've discovered that when I ask people what they want in an ideal job or career, they can't tell me. But if I ask them what they don't want, or what they didn't like in previous jobs, they can give me a long list of complaints or things they'd want to change! Like a less demanding boss, fewer deadlines or less stress. If this is the case for you, it may feel like you are checking things off of a list and identifying what you don't wan t, instead of moving forward by clarifying what you do want. 3. Determine your transferable skills and experience - Review your resume and every position you’ve ever held - paid or not. What are your transferable skills and past experience that you can capitalize on to transfer to another industry? What natural talents do you have that you enjoy using at work? Create a list of skills and experience. Brainstorm career ideas with a friend based on what you can bring to the table. *Would you like help identifying your ideal career?
