現今什麼也說科技，就連找工作也要以科技配合，不是叫你天馬行空去做些創意自薦短片，而是如何善用科技更容易找到適合自己的工作，同時營造正面的形象。我們首要的是要管理好自己在網上的形象，所謂水能載舟亦能覆舟，網絡已非只是玩樂的地方，更加是展示自己的平台，無論你是自願還是被動。有美國調查訪問了2,700名負責招聘的高層，發現45%的受訪者會運用不同的網上工具去「起底」，而他們起出的資料多數來自大家熟悉的社交媒體，包括Facebook、Twitter、MySpace、個人網誌等。被「起底」的人之中，約三成會因此被淘汰。有些公司甚至會用一些網上搜尋器，透過人名、電話、電郵等，搜尋出很多「精彩」的內容，如名為Spokeo的搜尋器就網羅超過60個社交網絡的內容。故此，定期清理自己的各個平台，同時加強私隱設定是必需的，以準備未來或潛在僱主隨時查看你個人履歷（Portfolio）的可能。為此，求職者可以刻意營造適合自己行業的個性，例如在自己的平台上多分享行業新聞、多引述行內專家的說話，相片方面也可選些適合自己專業形象的去發放。而擁有多個平台的求職者，最好就將各平台的姓名、相片、風格統一一下，讓人感到一致。所謂知己知彼，求職者同樣可透過招聘企業的公司網站及各個社交平台，認識公司的文化、價值觀及最新動向，以了解應聘公司，減低信息成本。

Career Coaching & Guidance

Using team coaching to resolve tension in your unit and boost productivity

Within weeks of starting her job as general manager with her new employer, Alice came to appreciate her team members’ high level of individual competence, and yet, something seemed not quite right. For example, during her team meetings, she noticed that each of them focused strongly on making their area of responsibility look good and most of them would get defensive if any critique or suggestion for improvement came up. In fact, she felt that the lack of cohesiveness and team spirit posed a barrier to what the team could achieve.
