One Year Later
One Year Later It was October 12, 2011. Ill always remember the date because its my Papas birthday. I was halfway across the country at The Grand Canyon, a place Ive been wanting to go ever since I watched The Brady Bunch take in the scenery during reruns of the show after kindergarten. Twenty-eight-ish years later, we were there, taking pictures and meeting elk and having a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Luke and I at The Grand Canyon (finally!) Our first night there, though, I started feeling shooting pain that led directly to a large lump in my left breast. Sure, it was a lump in my breast, but I wasnt super worried. I was told that pain never means cancer, and nothing was found when I had a thorough breast exam by a doctor just two months prior. All signs pointed to Its Nothing/How Annoying. However, the pain was sporadic but didnt stop. When I came back home and had a coincidental appointment with my ob/gyn a few days later, I asked her to cop a feel. She did, and while she agreed that it was Probably Nothing, she wrote me a prescription to get an ultrasound at the Womans Diagnostic Center connected to the hospital. Long story short, that ultrasound came back abnormal, which lead me to get my first mammogram (ouch!), a bilateral ultrasound, and three biopsies (one for the lump itself, another for a different worrisome spot, and a third for my lymph nodes) the day before Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving, I was told that the lump itself was malignant. I had cancer. In looking back at the year I just had, I could easily state the facts: Diagnosed as Stage Two in November, and then Stage One in December (they took it back post-lumpectomy upon seeing that lots of the cells that made up the malignant lump were pre-pre-cancerous). Given BRCA negative status (which means I dont have the gene, despite the fact that everyone on both sides of my family has died of some type of cancer. All but 1 were over 70, but still). 5 original ukulele songs inspired by my boob cancer (here, here, here, here and here. Go figure). 4 frozen embryos (keeping our options open) in January. 2 lumpectomies, one in December and the second in Feburary (The second one showed that there were cancerous cells outside of the margins of the original lump which, from what I was told, is highly unusual. My treatment went from chemo + radiation to chemo + double mastectomy in an instant). After my 2nd lumpectomy 4 rounds of chemo between February and April (it started on Valentines Day, because thats romance for ya). After my last round of chemo (hence the big fat smile) A boobal removal and reconstruction in May. A cancer-free diagnosis in June. A story told to 1,000 people in July. Photo by Armosa Studios. You mightve seen it before. I kinda cant get enough of it. A final surgery to get my gummy bear implants (yes, I feel like a new woman) in September. Now, in two weeks, I walk 39.3 miles with my Avon 2-Day Walk team. Yes, its my first time walking, or doing anything so strenuously athletic. Im equal parts excited and scared just as I like it and the $14,000+ weve raised so far (Im aiming for $16,000) doesnt hurt. Throughout the year, there have been dozens of people leaned on, hundreds (thousands?) sending love and support. I have the bestest of families, the most lovely and understanding of clients, the sweetest of friends. One of the dozens of gifts I received, this one made for me by Cindy Ann There are things behind the surface, though, that arent so easy to articulate. This feeling of strength, of fear, of sadness, of courage, of playing what youre dealt and coming through, of loss, of struggle, of love, of heartbreak, of struggle, of triumph, of luck. When I think Why me?, I think of it in two ways: the positive (why did I get spared, why was it so easy, why wasnt it worse) and the negative (what did I do to get this, why was I chosen, why cant my life just be like everyone elses). I feel all these feelings at the very same time. Right before my last surgery I got a Soul Clearing session from Julia of The Lucid Path. Not one for astrology or psychics or tarot, I was hesitant and skeptical going in, but curious as to what would be told and revealed. Right off the bat, I was told that my core identity is to see the harsh realities of this world, go through the pain, healand then help others. I thought of my boobs. I thought of my acting. I thought of becoming The When I Grow Up Coach. I thought, This makes sense. She told me that I have a sense of responsibility to those in emotional pain, and that the work Im doing now is my thing. Now, I have to trust what I do know and get comfortable with what I dont. I have to step into more of a teaching role. I have to separate myself from those who can take too much from me. Im still pondering this, still living it and breathing it and letting it marinate all of it. But I believe it, and know its my truth. *************** While October will always be Breast Cancer Awareness month, it will mean something more to meand, I hope, to you. Instead of posting something cryptic on Facebook (if youve seen something about inches and minutes, its supposed to raise awareness), learn some boob cancer facts (like the one where a woman gets diagnosed every 3 minutes) or read an amazeballs cancer-kicking book or donate to a cause that helps women fight like a girl. Lets go from Awareness to a Cure together.

Writing a Resume After Being Self Employed
Writing a Resume After Being Self EmployedIf you are thinking about writing a resume after being self-employed, the first thing you should do is sit down and ask yourself what you have to offer a potential employer. Is your resume that important?One popular suggestion for resumes when starting out is to write a resume that is entirely different from your previous job. While this may make you stand out from the crowd, it is unlikely to impress any potential employer. So what should you put on your resume? The short answer is to write a resume that is relevant to your business.A list of your skills is the best way to promote yourself and get new self employed employees to take notice of you. If you have some experience in the area you are applying for then that can be highlighted with references of experience. Other areas to put information about include: relevant skills you have gained or have had that are relevant to your intended career, and anything else that you feel is relevant t o the position you are applying for.You should also note any awards you have received for your current job, especially if they have been recently won. This will show employers that you have earned their respect and that you are a hard worker.Another tip for writing a resume after being self-employed is to keep it short and to the point. You do not want to leave yourself looking like a poorly written request for an interview.Don't try to reinvent the wheel, try to have a resume that is related to your own business. Having a catchy and helpful title for your resume, writing a good, clear and concise summary of your qualifications, and of course the most important part of all, writing a resume that is relevant to your business will go a long way to helping you.Twriting a resume after being self employed In the long run, having a resume that reflects who you are and what you can do for a company will come in very handy. Many employers are impressed with resumes, which are fresh and cur rent, but don't forget that it must appeal to the prospective employer. A resume that has integrity will get you interviews, and good ones!

Salary on a Resume
Salary on a Resume Spread the loveYou already know that there are a whole host of things to consider when youâre creating a resume. One of the most important considerations involved determining which details you need to include. Take your salary, for example. Should you list your salary requirements or previous pay history on your resume? You might feel compelled to do so, especially if the job posting seems to require it. As a rule, however, you should avoid detailing your salary on a resume.A Salary on a Resume Could Send the Wrong SignalsOne reason for not listing a salary on your resume is that it could end up giving the employer the wrong idea about your priorities. You donât want to suggest that you have concrete salary demands, since that may cause your application to get rejected. Instead, you should keep your resume focused on your strengths and achievements. Emphasize the value that you can bring to the firm rather than the money that you expect to receive for your efforts.A Salary on a Resume Can Distract from Your QualificationsYour main goal with a resume is to sell yourself as the best candidate for the job. You need to do that by documenting your experience and skill set. Concentrate on providing real examples of how those skills and talents benefited your previous employers. By doing so, you can establish yourself as someone who can contribute to any company from day one. You donât want to put a salary on a resume, since that draws attention to monetary concerns. Remember, the only monetary issue that you want the employer to be thinking about is the money that you can help him make if he hires you!Your Listed Salary May Not Be Aligned with the Companyâs NeedsOf course, thereâs another concern that you should keep in mind: the employerâs goals. By listing your salary needs or previous salary on a resume, you could bring your fitness for the job into question. After all, if you list a salary that is lower than the employer expects, you might seem unq ualified. On the other hand, a higher-than-expected salary requirement might make you seem too expensive to hire. Sure, you could get lucky and somehow list a desired salary that is exactly what the employer wants to spend. But do you really want to rely on luck?But What if the Employer Requires Your Salary On a Resume?Naturally, there may be times when employers make it clear that theyâll discard resumes that donât include salary information. You need to know how to deal with those scenarios, so that you can hopefully avoid the problems outlined above. The key is to avoid being too specific, while still providing enough detail to prevent your resume from being dismissed outright. There are several ways to accomplish that goal:Instead of listing a set figure, describe a salary range. If youâre asked to list previous salary information, donât be specific. Write something like, âIn my former jobs, I earned between $50,000 and $65,000.â You can do the same when asked to lis t a desired salary.Leave out any benefits that you might have received as part of a previous salary package. Just focus on providing a salary range for actual monies received.You can also try to avoid the topic altogether and simply note that your salary requirements are flexible. Let the employer know that you will be happy to discuss salary options during an interview.Above all else, remember that your resume should not be focused on you. Any discussion of salary demands or required benefits naturally turns that focus to your needs rather than the employerâs. Stick to your narrative, and make sure that your emphasis is always on the benefits you can offer as an employee. When you do that, you will find that thereâs no need to list your salary on a resume. Your experience, skills, and achievements will speak for themselves.

How To Fake Your Way Through A Last Minute Interview - Work It Daily
How To âFakeâ Your Way Through A Last Minute Interview - Work It Daily They left a voicemail yesterday afternoon asking for an interview this morning. This means theyâd like to hire you based on your resume. So, how do you keep that chance alive with a great interview? Related: 8 Simple Interview Questions To Ask Hiring Managers Is it time to panic? No- prepping is EASY. The Secret Studies show that: Our FIRST impression Our LAST impression, and How someone made us FEEL ...are pretty much the only things we remember when we meet someone new. Hiring managers want reliable, engaged, competent employees that are easy to manage. They hire people they LIKE - so leave them with a strong positive impression through these four easy steps. The Four Essentials to Handling Last Minute Interviews Know what the company does Know what the job description asks for Know which of your skills makes you the RIGHT person to solve their problems Have your OWN questions ready for the interviewer A Cheat Sheet Fill out the following template: Google this information: (XYZ company) is in the _______ business. They are (new to the industry, established in the industry). Their major products are ____________. Their major competitors are ___________. (Bonus: Recently, the company did ____________.) The Job Title is _____________. They need someone who can Organize X, Sell X, Manage X, Design X, Service X, Solve X (summarize the top three points from the Job Description/Posting under these categories or a better one you come up with). If you can take a copy of the job description/posting with you, thatâs even better. Be very familiar with it ahead of time, but refer to it freely in the interview - thatâs OK. They will see that you are engaged and interested in the process. Believe it or not, often interviewees just sit like lumps, waiting for the next question. My experience ______________ makes me the best person to fill this empty position and solve the problems related to that role because ________________. You ARE the best person but you need to be able to tell them WHY! What is it you understand better than another candidate, can deliver better, can execute better? Think of the jobs youâve had and stories you could tell about them. Just giving examples of times you executed the skills needed in the job posting (and did a great job) is all you need to do. Bonus: If you have old performance reviews you can scan or remember, you may find great examples of your top skills or accomplishments there. Tell them about any compliments you received for your work. Ask the following questions before you leave, even if you have to ask if you are permitted to ask questions: 1. How did the position become available? This is good information for you and makes a lasting impression on the interviewer about your savvy and engagement - Was the person promoted or fired or did they quit or is it new? 2. What kind of problems do you see this position/new hire solving? Good to know and shows you care about their needs. 3. How will you define success for the person who gets the job? This tells you a lot - what do they really want to see from the right candidate? Is it sales performance or client retention, for example? It shows them that you care about doing well for them. Donât Forget Everything! Finally, take all of this with you in a note or on your phone. Study the first three points HARD while you prepare, and be early so you can refresh your memory and be on time (of course). Keep your questions ready to ask and DONâT LEAVE without asking them. Say, âI just have few questions, if we have time.â Pulling out YOUR questions when you want to ask them is perfectly fine (again, put them in a note somewhere such as on your phone if you can, thatâs easiest). It makes you look prepared and organized. Hitting All the Right Notes Youâve walked in now showing that you are: Prepared Engaged Skilled Smart Easy to manage Leave them with a big âThank you! I hope to hear from you- it sounds like a great place to work!â and they wonât soon forget your name.
