"E.T. phone home."

For Your Consideration:  Seeking a New Work Challenge

With a strong desire to continue to use my accumulated skills and wisdom, this is a preliminary application for a position with your company. My goal is to help you tap deeper into your human capital by realizing the full potential of your current staff and to assist you in expanding your company’s bottom line. 
Adaptability, reliability, initiative, and loyalty are part of human nature. With improved hiring assessments, and analysis of current employee’s strengths and challenges, we will create more vibrant outcomes. Asking people if they are willing to take responsibility for their daily actions, taps into all your natural resources. 

Let’s build new momentum by weaving a strong spirit of connection. This strengthens the foundation for your ladder to success and fuels each step of the climb with character, discipline, and honest effort.

Thus today's inspiration while I was cruising through my LinkedIn profile. I've still not figured out what the fascination is with Facebook, LinkedIn, an especially Twitter, but just the same I check in to my accounts at the first 2 and avoid looking at anything Twitter daily.

"How did the landscape shift so drastically that integrity and accountability are no longer the prime objective?" 


When we left here a year ago, I was convinced by 2 friends that I seemed angry in my Posts. So I took a break and wrote 2 children's books. Nothing could be further from "angry" than the words and wisdom of Uncle XOQ. (Please keep coming back for more about his adventures and a link to buying a book about Uncle XOQ for the kids in your life.)

Instead of complaining about, and even at times raging about, the incredible lack of intelligence and common sense of most Americans, I set about contributing to the education of people through the insights of Uncle XOQ. 

This morning I took a break from all that and conjured up a Resume from 2010. It included the opening above and I was moved at the same time to Post here. After all, you can't spend so much time thinking about the details of publishing your first book, geared toward life lessons for kids of all ages, without coming up against the truth that there has been an incredible shift in my lifetime.

"Why is the well-being of a nation secondary to the almighty dollar?"

I refer you to one of today's headlines about Harry Reid saying he just doesn't understand Boehner's brain. Me neither.
