Jennifer is a career, branding, and social media expert and she hosts Job Talk Radio as a way to give back to the community. Recently she interviewed Erik Qualman, author of Socialnomics, and in my opinion, the coolest guy in social media — I’m a big fan of his Social Media Revolution video and work and it made me geek out a bit to know I’ll be the featured guest just weeks later.
Hope you can join us for Job Club Radio this week!
A Fresh Take on New Years Resolutions for 2012

As we get ready to ring in the new year with new opportunities, many of us are probably considering goals and resolutions for 2012.
My friend Jen Armitstead has a fresh approach to new years resolutions that I love:
Instead of a lengthy list of new years resolutions, choose one word for the year to guide you.
For example, Jen’s word last year her word was “no” which helped her to take on less, have greater balance and more fun in her life. In 2012 her word is “active”.
What a simple way to set style resolutions! Here are a few style words to consider for 2012:
- Authentic
- Fresh
- Simplify
- Embellish
- Bloom
What will your word be for 2012?
Christmas Gift Ideas for the Professional Woman on Your List
If you have a professional woman on your Christmas gift list, career coach Jennifer Armitstead shared some terrific gift ideas, in a recent article. Here’s a little excerpt for you:
- Nice pen: Have you ever been handed a nice pen from a sales person? It elevates that person in your mind, doesn’t it? There are many really slick and elegant pens that fit nicely in a planner, purse, or at your desk. When people use it, they won’t walk off with it because they will be very aware of how nice the pen is and want to give it back to you. Cross and FranklinCovey have great options at different price points. Get a colorful pen that matches your personality.
- Special jewelry: Wearing a really unique and gorgeous pin or necklace to a networking event garners special recognition every time. It’s amazing how one piece of really nice and stunning jewelry will make a difference in how people remember you… especially if it’s something worn close to your face. Being remembered at professional networking events is critical in today’s business world. Being women who get to wear cool jewelry is a bonus! Guys have to make do with unique ties. Sorry.
Christmas gift idea: business card holder
I’ll add a Christmas gift idea of my own as well. Every woman ought to have a classy business card holder. It’s way more professional that fishing in your pocket for a crumpled business card when you’re networking. It’s all about creating that memorable image!
