What would you give to be happier in your job? In your office? In your career?

Would you give 25 minutes and 52 seconds?

If you’re willing to do just that, you’ll learn exactly what I’d do.

Warning: I’m not going to say anything to you like smile, have a better attitude, or blah blah blah. I wouldn’t insult you with that trite stuff.

I’ll get you focused on and building the six “deliverables” I’d create and have “at the ready” so I’d feel happier about my situation!

If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:

1. Check out the milewalk Academy, my coaching and training site, for freemiums and premiums.

2. I have hundreds of educational and inspirational videos on my YouTube Channel.

3. Grab any of my four books related to interviewing, hiring, goal setting, and career development. All can be found on my Amazon Author Page.

Have you been struggling to get your career to the next level?

Maybe you’re awesome at your trade.

Maybe you are well networked in your company.

Mayyyybe you’re even the go-to person that seems to be able to fix everyone’s “problems.”

So, why is awesome you not getting awesomely ahead?

It’s one thing to be great at your job.

It’s entirely another to be all-out spectacular in your career.

As a consultant, recruiter, business owner, and now career coach, I’ve long known skill stacking is what makes you powerful.

It’s the mind-bending formula where 1+1=4 and 1+1+1=10.

Truly exponential in nature.

You might hear me say, “The more “layers” you have, the more desirable you’ll be to an employer.”

I speak of how many boxes you check when it comes to their silly job descriptions.

This is part of the equation.

Now, skill stacking isn’t just about how you match.

It’s about how much impact you’ll have.

At this point, you might be thinking I’m using my 9 semesters of higher math to make up new formulas.

But have you ever heard of someone’s pay rising and rising until all of sudden their compensation seems to be in a new stratosphere?

They likely skill stacked.

Today, I’m sharing my skill stacking concepts and how I’ve built my career using these techniques.

Give it try and note the awesome results!

Ever been snookered by a fake job?

I mean, if you know you have?

You might have been hoodwinked and didn’t even know it.

Perhaps you applied and silence.

I glanced over a survey from Resume Builder very recently (not a site I recommend, but they ran the survey so what the hey?).

A few key findings...

  • 40% of companies posted a fake job listing this year.
  • 30% of companies currently have active fake listings.
  • 70% of hiring managers believe posting fake jobs is morally acceptable.

Their rationale…

Hiring managers say fake job postings led to boosted revenue, morale, and productivity and alleviate employee workload concerns. They indicate “company growth” as one of the top reasons behind fake job posting strategy.

Sure.

So, you know these fakers are out there.

Now, how can you spot them and what can you do about it?
