Connie Podesta Wins Gold Medal Award With 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd

Top organizations seek real-world answers and strategic solutions to stay competitive in a constantly changing market. They're finding all of that and more in Connie Podesta's new book, 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd. And the folks at Independent Publisher Book Awards agree.

Dallas, TX, May 18, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Connie Podesta and co-author Jean Gatz proudly announce the selection of their new book, 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd as the 2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medal Award winner in the Business Category.

"It's a thrill to be chosen from among the more than 2000 participants for this prestigious award," says author, keynote speaker and change expert Connie Podesta. "We wanted to create a book that was different from any other business book we've seen. Something that would compel people to make positive changes in their lives, careers and companies."

Connie Podesta ( http://ConniePodesta.com/speakingtraining ) has helped organizations globally implement the kind of innovative and effective strategies, tools and mindsets that allow their companies to grow. She teaches them to do that in such a way that their employees and partners become happy contributors and pro-active solution-seekers.

"Connie and Jean have hit a home run with a book that lives up to its name and stands out from the crowd. From the very first page, I knew I was about to experience a wealth of content wrapped in the kind of creativity you rarely see in a business book," says Diane Koziol Krueger, brand identity expert, CEO and Founder of Contagious, LLC.

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://ConniePodesta.com/stand-out-from-the-crowd ) takes the most critical elements of success - change, leadership, relationships and attitudes. Then breaks them down into ten individual books rolled into one. Written in an easy-to-read, easy-to-reference style, there is no mistaking why the straight-forward communication and spotlighted (not-to-mention Tweet-ready!) "pearls" of wisdom are a success formula for leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. They're also powerful for anyone who wishes to STAND OUT from the crowd. It provides people with the skills to live more fully and create more of that all-too-elusive balance between personal, professional and family life.

"I often say 'Business as usual is OVER', because our world is changing and evolving so fast that those who want to compete, perform better, produce more and sustain far better relationships in their lives have got to start doing some things differently," shares Connie. "Waiting for 'someday' or 'one of these days' is simply not an option anymore. That's why we wrote a book that really helps people turn on those light bulbs in their minds. They begin to not just SEE that change is possible, but BELIEVE it and then ACT in the ways it takes to make those changes a reality."

For anyone who's ever asked themselves...

* Do I have the skills, talent, attitude, knowledge and commitment ENOUGH to make it in today's competitive world?

* Am I making the right CHOICES for myself, my career and my family?

* Am I COMMUNICATING well or just making noise?

* Am I doing what it takes to DIFFERENTIATE myself in a such a positive way that my employers, co-workers, partners, family and friends CHOOSE to have me in their lives?

* How can I handle the DIFFICULT people in my life that make work and home so challenging?

* What can I do DIFFERENTLY that will help me attract the success, people and wealth I want?

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://amzn.to/10WaysStandOut ) delivers fresh ideas, laugh-out-loud 'light bulb' moments, and real-life strategies that will not only have readers STANDING OUT in a positive way, but enjoying more of the moments along the way.

Oh! Toys Hosts Contest to Encourage Children’s Creativity and Imagination

Oh! Toys, the online site for "cool toys that are hard to find' has launched the ongoing, biweekly "TOYS BY KIDS" contest to let kids run a bit wild in dreaming up whatever toy they can imagine.

Southborough, MA, May 18, 2011 - About 14 years ago Ken Kahn of Oh! Toys , discovered the Swiss toy Cuboro in a gift store. "It sounds a little silly," he says, "but it did, in fact, change my life." Originally bought as a building block and marble run toy gift for his young daughters, Cuboro wound up fascinating him as much as it did them -- for its wonderful design and it's developmental and educational qualities -- and its ability to totally absorb one's attention for extended periods of time! He wound up starting Oh! Toys to help promote Cuboro and provide "cool toys that are hard to find" here in the United States.

Oh! Toys is all about providing unique toys that encourage children to play and imagine. And now Oh! Toys is hosting the bi-weekly TOYS BY KIDS Contest to encourage children’s creativity and imagination. "Toys are often the tool that children use to play, the prop they use in pretending, and the unit by which they can build," says Oh! Toys owner. The Toys by Kids Contest is designed with fun in mind. The parent can spark the fun with the question, "If you could have a toy that could do or be anything, what would it be and what would you call it?" The answer to that question can win one child a personalized Landmark Maple Name Train!

The natural laws of the universe do not have to apply in the TOYS BY KIDS Contest. Parents can enjoy letting their child run with their imagination without inhibition and listening to their great ideas as they create their special toy. This gives parents a chance to encourage creativity an imagination in their child. As Albert Einstein put it, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.'

And the contest is working its own kind of magic and fun with the kids. Recent TOYS BY KIDS entries include such comments as, "My daughter would like to be squash-man so she can have special powers to grow yummy seeds to eat. She also believes squash-man can double as a hat so he is super-powerful," and "My 5 year old son would like a dragon that makes candy instead of fire. It would be a Choco-breath-dragon."

Top 40 Jobs in the U.S., and How to Get Them

CareerConnected.com searched the internet for information highlighting the top in-demand jobs in the U.S. today.

New York, NY, May 18, 2011 - Today, job aggregators provide recent college graduates and professionals with an effective method for visiting hundreds of jobs boards from one access point. Job aggregators scrape millions of jobs from top job boards around the nation and centralize the access to active job listings in a single source web entry point. These specialized web platforms may redefine online workforce job search trends as millions of Americans seek to return to the labor market in large numbers.

Analysts at CareerConnected.com searched the internet for information highlighting the top in-demand jobs and best careers in the U.S. across key industries. A list was compiled of jobs by category and/or occupation. For each of the occupations, a job link was provided to a job aggregator. To extend additional value to professionals in a job transition, several career surveys were organized to capture and share career search activities and tactics among job seekers. Each career survey takes a slightly different look at the strategies that appear to create successful results with respect to securing a job or a job contact and/or tactics that are less effective for self directing a job search campaign.

Below is a list of five key strategies that recent college graduates and/or professionals will want to consider when choosing one the careers listed below. Combining research on these occupations, in addition to a well thought-out career strategy, will help to attain the highest level of satisfaction in a job search.

Solidify A Game Plan
Research the combination of skills and work experiences that are be required to enter into and excel in a chosen occupation. Start with the Department of Labor web site to secure some preliminary data. Consider the educational costs of an occupation compared to the entry level and mid level salaries trends in the industry. Set expectations realistically.

Now consider work demands and location requirements. Assess your most marketable profit making and problem skills - then re-assess salary requirements and job style expectations. Select industries that show stable sales or high growth. Also consider selecting industries that contain job functions and work environments that you have a passion for.

If you were in an extended layoff, then take some time to evaluate if work skills are current enough to re-enter the market. If your in-demand skills have slipped then it may be time to consider one or more refresher courses to re-tool skill sets.


Target And Approach Employers Directly
Use company and recruiter directories to build a contact database and tap into a hidden job market of un-advertised jobs. Approach friends, colleagues, and relatives for referrals.

Mobilize The Resources of Top Recruiters
Use job search tools to send a resume to a targeted recruiter list. When a good match becomes available then they will have your resume and contact information on file.

Give Yourself The Competitive Edge
Create high impact cover letters that highlight marketable skills. Send letters directly to acquired contacts.

Stay Organized - Keep Focused
Follow up with job contacts on a timely basis. When you send out your resume, track who you are sending it to and what they are doing with it. Stay in touch with personal networks and recruiter contacts. Call within a week and ask for an informational interview to get acquainted with the companies needs.

Harrisburg University’s CONNECT Campaign Raises More than $44.7 Million

Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is pleased to announced that it has surpassed the $40 million goal set for the comprehensive fundraising campaign

Harrisburg, PA, May 16, 2011 - Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is pleased to announced that it has surpassed the $40 million goal set for the comprehensive fundraising campaign, CONNECT: The Campaign for Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

Dr. Mel Schiavelli, president of Harrisburg University, announced that the University has raised $44,728,888 million in The CONNECT Campaign.

The $40 million fund-raising campaign was launched July 1, 2006 and it is scheduled to conclude by June 30, 2011.

Schiavelli told the more than 457 attendees of the 2011 Commencement and Partners Day event, held May 12th in the Whitaker Center Sunoco Theatre, that this is a significant night in the history of the University.

"This is a celebration for those individual donors, community businesses and corporate sponsors who thought enough of Central Pennsylvania to invest in its future with the founding of Harrisburg University," says Schiavelli. "For the last five years, we asked for philanthropic investments, which you so generously contributed. But we realize you gave us so much more. We asked for a building; you gave us a foundation. We asked for a home; you gave us a community. We asked for your vision; you gave us the future."

The University launched the campaign in November 2006 to several hundred attendees during a gala ceremony held in the empty parking lot located at 4th and Market Street. Today that location is the site of the University’s $73 million, 16-story, state-of-the-art Academic Center.

The CONNECT Campaign received philanthropic investments from 175 corporations and businesses, 15 foundations, and more than 400 individual donors. Significant campaign leaders included: Select Medical Corporation, The Ortenzio Family Foundation and the Robert and Angela Ortenzio Family Foundation, Jay W. & Mary Cleveland, Jr., Jay W. & Sandra Cleveland, Sr., the Kirchhoff Family, Cleveland Brothers Company, Anthony & Brenda Pascotti, Gary Nalbandian, the Phillips Group, The Hershey Company, J. Randall & Barbara Grespin, Inez and Bennett Chotiner, M.D ., The Lois Lehrman Grass Foundation, Douglas Neidich, Timothy & Mary Webber Weston, Robert & Vicki Dolan, The Novinger Family, TR McIntosh, Reynolds Construction, The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and David & Donna Schankweiler.

"Now that we’ve built the foundation for STEM education, we must ensure that our university flourishes with the region’s best and brightest students. The HU vision means investing in our students, building our community and strengthening Central Pennsylvania’s economy," said Schiavelli. "For building the dream, we thank you. For keeping it alive with your ongoing support, our students will."

With further support, Harrisburg University can continue to provide the highest-quality STEM education required for students, says Ryan T. Riley, AVP of Development and Alumni Relations at Harrisburg University.

"This University has been, from the very beginning, an endeavor of, by and for the citizens of the Commonwealth. We are a university born of this community and, with continuing help, our graduates will play a key role in stimulating the growth of Pennsylvania’s knowledge-based economy," says Riley.

For more information on the CONNECT Campaign, contact Ryan T. Riley at 717.901.5140 or CONNECT@HarrisburgU.edu

Founded in 2001 to address Central Pennsylvania’s need for increased opportunities for study leading to careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, Harrisburg University is an innovative and ambitious private institution that produces graduates who provide increased competence and capacity in science and technology disciplines to Pennsylvania and the nation. Harrisburg University ensures institutional access for underrepresented students and links learning and research to practical outcomes. As a private University serving the public good, Harrisburg University remains the only STEM-focused comprehensive university located between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

A New Career Portal Offers Jobseekers Creative Alternatives

Searching for a new job in a tough economy is never easy. Currently, 6.2 million Americans have been unemployed for more than 6 months according to data from the U.S.

New York, NY, May 12, 2011 - Searching for a new job in a tough economy is never easy. Currently, 6.2 million Americans have been unemployed for more than 6 months according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics March 2011. In addition, the unemployed face a new challenge in finding a job; there has been a recent increase of job postings that discourage jobseekers from applying if they have been out of work for six months or longer.

A new career management portal, called CareerConnected.com helps jobseekers to shorten their job transition by combing the power of online professional networking portal and an expansive suite of career tools that help users to self-direct their jobs search. This portal also contains an embedded job transition tool called CareerWizPro.

CareerWizPro creates an online checklist of things to do that guides users through an al-la-carte menu of job search tool including resume distribution and employer directories.

These tools include:

* Recruiter Directory by Specialty

* Listings of top employers by category

* Contact tracking

* Electronic resume distribution

* Interview preparation

* Cover letter templates

* Job search guides

* A career news portal

Career directory to enhance job search coverage for members

CareerConnected.com added two job boards. One job boards acts as a job aggregator that scrapes jobs from major job sites and centralizes the online application to one dedicated web page. Members can access many of the jobs they seek from multiple job boards in one job board today. The second job board provides exclusive access to job listings through their network of partners.

While no online employment portal guarantees a job, this portal asserts that membership with them will create a more holistic approach that will result in more productive outcomes better quality jobs, and a greater sense of personal satisfaction.
