| Hello Isodifj,
 Is your summer off to a good start? We hope you make sure to carve out some down time to enjoy the warm weather with family and friends. I spent an amazing two weeks in Italy traveling with my family. It was wonderful to get away and focus on living at a slower pace for a change. The country's coastline is beautiful and a great place to unwind outdoors.

Keeping Your Career Search Alive This Summer  Summer is a great time for vacation and to get some R&R. I highly recommend doing that and maintaining life balance in your life! But some people take months off in their career search during the summer. As we’ve learned from downturns in the economy in the past, we need to pay attention to our assets, on a regular basis. And our jobs are one of our most important assets. This means that more than ever, you must be pro-active – not reactive – about your career, have clearly defined career goals, and actively manage your career just like you would an investment.
