I didn't realize that 1 out of 5 people in the US have a disability. This article opened my eyes a bit. I am in complete agreement that all it takes is one person who believes in you. There are so many individuals who want to work and give their all.
After the hurricanes hit in Florida one year when I was a Human Resources Director -- not too many employees showed up the following day to clean up. I seem to recall that every single one of our employees with disabilities arrived for work. It hit me strong how lucky we were to have employees who had such pride for their company and job. They really valued their position and wanted to make a contribution.

Top Five Career Tips for New College Students. Posted on 09 January 2013 by admin. 1. Get involved in campus activities as soon as possible. When you get on campus at the beginning of a school year, you will usually find some big event in ...
Trish Sadar's insight:
Nice article! Getting involved in on campus activities is great advice. I would take that a step further. Get involved in associations and activities that are associated to your target industry and job outside of the campus.
Internships I believe -- the ones that give you the experience you need to land the job once you graduate.....very very important!
Professors will absolutely assist you with letters, calls, and perhaps the right connection.

Networking and finding a mentor is imperative when getting ready to make a change or further develop your career. It makes sense to network through out your discipline or industry.
Trish Sadar's insight:
I absolutely agree that finding the right mentoring and networking are both important not only at the beginning of your career; however, througout one's career.
Networking: Making time to establish relationships, join associations, and helping others should be something that every professional should prioritize. Networking does not mean reaching out to people and connecting only when you need something from them.
Mentoring: Regardless of the success one has had in their career, we all need to seek out mentors who can help us to get to where we want to be faster.
Ask yourself...are you coachable? Do you accept constructive feedback from others?

Excellent article!
Please follow the link in the article to take you to Careerbuilders' top growing jobs for 2013.
The most difficult thing to understand is to understand one's own self. Deciding where you want to be and why it is your career goal is paramount. You are the only person who can determine what success looks like.
None of us were given operator's manuals on what career will fulfill us. We have to invest the time to understand what we are passionate about, and understand what positions and industries are consistent with what we aspire to achieve. Then we should do our homework to determine if the chosen position and industry is growing.
Regardless of what career we choose....we can be certain of change; however, growth will always be optional.

Make your first million. Get the corner office. Start your own company. Take over the family business. Publish a book. Retire by a certain age. Career goals may vary, but they all mark the reaching of a professional achievement. While it's up to you to decide what career accomplishments matter most, you might not know where to start. "
Trish Sadar's insight:
Everyone should have both short and long-term bucket lists for their careers.
Success is doing what you love and loving what you do. Then it is not a job...it is your life:)

Trish Sadar's insight:
A must read article. My additional advice: Deciding where you want to be...having clarity, and then acting as though it were impossible to fail.
