Today I not only have something I want to rant about, I also have a recommendation for a book that I'm reading that I think could be enormously helpful for anyone who's looking to change jobs or careers, whether you work from home or not.
First the rant... My name is not Sarah or Veronica, it is Erica.
Most of you here know that, simply because you've seen my name on my blog. But it never fails to amaze me how many of the people I talk to (both insurance agents and proposed insureds) call me Sarah, Veronica, or some other name ending an an "a," even when I try to say my greeting as clearly as I can. I understand, a lot of the people may have bad phone connections because they're on cell phones, or they can't hear well, or whatever... and some people do hear my name right, or they'll ask me what my name is if they're not sure they heard it right. I'm not the only one who's had this happen to them either - a lot of other people at the company I work for have also had this happen to them.
The moral of this story is, if you're not sure you heard a person's name right, double check it with them.
Now for the recommendation - I'm currently reading a Kindle book called "The Resume Is Dead" - I was able to download it from Amazon for free, unfortunately now the price has gone up to 2.99. Regardless though, I think even from the little bit of it that I've read, that it will be enormously helpful as I continue to try to figure out what I want to do with my life. Once I've finished it, I'll probably publish a more thorough review of it on Hubpages, but in the meantime if you want to check it out now, you can search for it on Amazon.com
Everyone have a great Sunday!
