Email and IM, cell phones and social media, our world today is all about 24/7 communications. To be sure, our entire work culture has changed, often blurring the line between professional and personal spheres.
How do you maintain balance?
career calm
Americans are working longer and harder, and we now surpass all other countries in average hours per week. Despite the loss of millions of jobs, American productivity has soared to record levels. Economically speaking, we're doing more with less, and that's good for business. But is it good for you? Perhaps you have your own story of "gaining" more job responsibilities in the wake of layoffs. In the frenetic pace of today's work environment, it can be a real challenge to take care of yourself and maintain a sense of career calm.
creative solutions
Contemporary circumstances call for creative solutions, and in fact there are many options that can help you achieve and maintain that coveted work life balance. Robin will help you brainstorm ideas from flextime, telecommuting and job sharing, to establishing multiple income streams or leveraging your expertise to launch your own business.

It's not just finding a job that counts. In an era where one job for life is no longer the norm, today's workers can expect to job-hunt numerous times over the course of their careers. The name of the game now is being able to find a new job at the drop of a hat, and then position yourself for ever better opportunities. Think continuous employability, the new job security.
