The commencement speaker at the Clarke School for Hearing and Speech in Northampton, Massachusetts a few months back was Stephen Hopson, the first deaf person in aviation history to earn an instrument-rated pilot’s license. God bless Stephen.

When I helped people with job search and resumes, etc., I used to give a very quick test called Managing with Style. This was from a book by Rowe and Mason. The book was based on Rowe and Mason’s Ph.D. thesis which was about Operating Styles.

I liked this test. It was quick to take — probably five minutes — ten minutes at most. To go over it,  took maybe ten minutes as well. As any personality test, it gives a trend. (more…)

Just to let you know that everything is coming up roses for Lauren. (more…)

It has been a long time since I told you about the adventures of my daughter in Chicago. (more…)

Spending nine days in Chicago.

Hopefully, tomorrow I will tell you more about Lauren’s job search in Chicago.

Loving you all on this beautiful Sunday Easter morning.

And God is blessing us all.

Heavenletter #3185,  entitled The High Road, elicited quite a few comments on the Heavenletter Spiritual Community Forum from people who quit their jobs in order not to compromise themselves.

The woman who headed up the USO in San Francisco interviewed me. I thought the world of her, much the way Lauren admires Phenomenal Boss.  I wanted to work with this lady whose name I don’t remember. She thought (more…)

You will get an idea from the following email from the Phenomenal Boss what a peach he is.  Alas, his email is a rejection.

We hope it’s not over yet. Lauren has a job-search strategist in her court (me) and has one more step she can take before taking no for an answer.

After you read P.B.’s email,  read Lauren’s response.  Her response is based on the idea that (more…)

I think of jobs I was offered and didn’t take. All the turns in the road that I didn’t avail myself of. What if I had? How would my life be different? Or would it?

God in Heavenletters™  tells us not to look back. We can’t change a thing. We all know that. I know that, and yet I still do it.

There are six job possibilities I didn’t take that (more…)
