Deck the Halls!...
...with new employees? It's the middle of November, why would you be thinking about job searching? Better yet, why should you? There are more important things to think about, such as, who's playing Thanksgiving Day? (And what time?!) How early are you going to have to wake up on Black Friday? Is it really necessary to get the dog a stocking? (And fill it?) Job searching should be the farthest thing from your mind right now, right?
WRONG!
I came across an interesting article written by John M. O'Connor, President of Career Pro of NC Inc, "After the Holidays (And Other Bad Job Search Advice). According to John O'Connor, the holidays are not such a bad time to job search: Logically, there is less competition! "The truth is," O'Connor says, "many positions come open hear the holidays. It's a good time for individuals to make moves, quit and end employment. Remember this-The Bureau of Labor Statistics report that 65% of people are dissatisfied with their jobs. This may put companies into a bit of a crissi mode. But it's an advantage to you."
O'Connor suggests that even though the Holidays can be stressful enough, be productive with your time and your attitude. "Develop a new, professional resume; .... It may be a good time to face reality about your resume." He suggests working on Choppy Work History, Out of Work, Unrelated Experience, Lack of Experience and Hazy Objectives over the Holiday season.
Finally, O'Connor reminds us to act happy through out the Holiday season: "No one wants to network with or interview a depressed, negative sounding person. The people you meet have reason to talk.. Hey, it IS the Holidays after all!

Tips to Help Save Money at the Gas Pump
With gas prices reaching nearly $3 a gallon, we're all looking for ways to try and conserve our use of gasoline. According to the Federal Trade Commission, there are several ways to help conserve gas while driving:
-You could improve in-town gas mileage by up to 5% by avoiding "jack-rabbit" starts and stops.
-Stay within the posted speed limits. Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.
-Use cruise control when appropriate.
-Keep your engine tuned, and be sure to change your oil on a regular basis.
-Check and replace air filters regularly. Clogged filters can decrease your gas mileage by 10%.
-Remove all unnecessary items from your trunk to help reduce fuel economy.
-Keep your tires properly aired and aligned.

Help Heartland Park
Mixed bag for SCCA
"We still need to work on the spectator base," said Jim Julow, president and chief executive officer of the Sports Car Club of America.
Though official attendance numbers were unavailable on Monday, the number of fans in the stands at Heartland Park Topeka last week wasn't as high as organizers expected. Last year, attendance was poor, partly because of cold rainy weather. Weather cooperated this year except Saturday morning when it rained. Races on Saturday were cut to 30 minutes in order to get them all completed.
