Dear Readers,
On September 22, 2017, the autumnal equinox officially began the start of our fall season and so nights are getting longer and cooler weather is around the corner – finally! This transformation reminds us that we are three quarters of the way through 2017, and we only have three short months left to accomplish our 2017 professional goals. Yes, time is running out, but it is never too late to make progress! In order to assist our readers make the most of the rest of this year, we have provided a few tips in our Ask the Experts section of this issue. For Job Seekers, we offer some simple but very effective advice about the power of a thank you note after the interview. For Hiring Managers, our article provides some invaluable insight into how to measure the “soft skills” of job applicants during the interview process, and whether they will fit into an organization well.
We hope that you enjoy this information and it supports your career success!
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Ted French
