I always end the year by writing about my accomplishments, failures, regrets, and resolutions. I love this time of year because the calendar naturally motivates me to reflect and act. This post is all about 2024 accomplishments. I’ve been writing these posts for twenty years. As always, in true Ruettimann fashion, I crushed it. Why did I crush it? Not…
Job hunting doesn’t take a holiday break. As the calendar inches towards January, gearing up now is smart. Here’s what I’ve been teaching for 25+ years in my role as America’s big sister and your favorite former HR lady. Ask for What You Want There’s no shame in saying, “I want a job.” Unless you…
