I would like to encourage you to join me in committing a time of prayer in remembrance of the precious lives lost in this week's heartbreaking tragedy at Virginia Tech. The senseless act of violence carried out by the deranged perpetrator not only stole the lives of the students, but the precious dreams, talents, and unrealized potential that must now be buried with them. We must always remember

Isn't it ironic that within one week we witnessed the destructive power of irresponsible and mean-spirited behavior from one man, and yet reminded of the heroic behavior of another who faced down the hostilities of racism and went on to change professional sports and some would say our nation.60 years ago today Mr. Jackie Robinson was the first African American to integrate Major League Baseball.

After working for many years in the world of human resources and career development, it still shocks me how some "so-called" professionals like Mr. Don Imus believe they can publicly attack and devalue the dignity, credibility, and accomplishments of young African American achievers.Maybe Mr. Imus didn't approve of the "hair-styles" of the young ballers from Rutgers, because as we all know Mr.

So you're ready to revolutionize the global marketplace, break off your billion dollar piece of some trillion dollar industry, perhaps become the next Bob Johnson, Richard Parsons, Russel Simmons or Cathy Hughes? The truth is that the marketplace is desperately seeking your talent, innovation, and leadership, but the trillion dollar question is..."are you ready to deliver?"If you have invested

Nobody really "likes" rejection, but we can learn to embrace its value.Rejection in the job search process can take place at a networking event when a prospective employer appears uninterested in you, at a career fair, or at any point in the formal interviewingprocess when the employer verbally or in writing expresses that you are not the best match for their organization. Regardless of the stage
