Dan--thanks for taking the time to write. I do hope your client sees how important clarity is. Good luck. They are lucky to have a trusted advisor that will not always just tell them what they want to hear.

Timely post for me...

I have a client I am advising on structural change in their Marketing department and we had the absolutely weirdest conversation yesterday. They want to move some of the problem executives sideways, maintain their titles VP of this, Director of that and then bring on the new people with very similar titles and intermingled responsibilities (??).

I've always believed in clear structures with executives that have some skin in the game. This post highlights this point beautifully - I am bringing it to my meeting today to convince my client further. Thanks.

Thanks for making this important point. You can't judge someone's performance if the task and the end goal isn't clearly defined. Not many people have "mind-reader" on their resume, so never, ever assume they know what you want and expect.

Sabbatical is a refreshing thought even for people who had not planned to have a break (EG layoff etc.)

Hi Pat,
That is a great article on resume writing. With the unemployment rate so high, this should be send out to every newspaper in the country.
Thanks for the contribution and being my friend all these years.
If you ever come to Nashville please let me know.

Pat, What a great suggestion. There is something about the act of putting thoughts on paper. It makes them real. "Writing it forward" is a way of charting your course, not just putting your boat on a new piece of water with hopes of reaching the opposite shore.
Regarding the updated resume, having a resume fresh and ready to send is a reflection on how you handle your life . . . always prepared.
