Perfect for some quick knits for gifts and then overhauling some rather forlorn items. As a knitter myself, I rarely purchase knitted items. I took scissors in hand and sliced it right up the front.

You pull up the spreadsheet , print off your boss’s e-mailed comments, dig out your notes from the last meeting and settle down to work. No sooner do you start to enter data, than Jane wanders in, sits down and asks if you’ve heard the latest rumour about Bob down in purchasing. Stand up for visitors. Close the door.

One thing I have found that goes a long way are personal handwritten thank you notes and Starbucks gift cards. I completely forgot to book his room - I know, total F-up. I sent her a personal note and a gift card to say thank you. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier. She totally saved my skin.

It used to be my father and brothers enjoyed Thanksgiving Day for the good food and football, while my mother and I cleaned up and prepared for the biggest shopping event of the year. We would get up at 5:00 AM, and we were ready to join in the wild bewilderment of Black Friday. Prominently display warranties and return policies.

Set reasonable deadlines and follow-up with each team member. Know the difference between follow-up and micromanaging. Follow-up does not mean frequent phone calls, emails, meetings, or standing over someone’s shoulder. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier. Value your team members.

Even though the articles were on specific topics, I could take one or up to three sentences from one article and morph it into another article on a different topic. The script is then broken up into parts and as relevant, each is posted to the appropriate blog. Never Throw Anything Away! It also helped me write my two books!

First, what you have been up to recently that is exciting, fun or new, why and what sort of job you are looking for, and your contact information and an online link to your resume or a social media profile (more on this later). It is a way to catch up and keep the doors of communication open. When I got home I looked up the company.
