LOL. More than 80% of the projects currently on my to-do list are from some place other than Wausau. Most are out of Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Michigan, and Illinois, right now.

It's something I often advise when coaching because it is easy to forget as you say. If I ever need one I'll be winging it across the Atlantic to you!

They are just looking to move into the next position or they have been asked by a recruiter for a resume. Others just want to keep their resume updated because it is so easy to forget accomplishments. About 60% or more of my clients are happily employed.

Last hired, first fired. Often that left someone who had outgrown their usefulness still on the job but got rid of someone whose potential was just starting to bloom. Today, many organizations look at top salaries and will cut someone with 30 years of experience even if they are exceptional so that they can hire someone at the bottom of the ladder. Neither approach is the best and if employers followed the guidelines you suggest above, they would have better companies and happier staff members. It would be well known that creative and strategic thinking was welcomed and staff members could be happy to put forth their best and know it would be noted and possibly rewarded. See you made me think again, Jane! In not so distant past in the US, most terminations were handled in the order of seniority. Last hired, first fired.
