Read the Inspiring Story of Real Career Girl, Danielle Wilson, CEO of Aero Jet Medical United Medivac Solutions For many successful Career Girls, their path to success was not part of a long life plan crafted from childhood, but is instead one sparked by a moment that made a mark on them. This is the story for female CEO, Danielle Wilson, President and CEO of Aero Jet Medical and sister company United Medevac Solutions.   Her journey began with a life-changing experience, and now she has come full circle by saving and changing the lives of many people out there.   It started with a harrowing experience in high school. Danielle witnessed a serious car accident where the driver was ejected from the vehicle. She saw the driver staggering down the street asking for help, which she tried to offer but did not know how to without any knowledge of health care. After this shaking and impactful experience, Danielle then made a decision to  enroll in a nursing program, which led her to receive an emergency medicine internship at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. After months of intensive training, Danielle  was given the opportunity to ride along as an in-flight medical crew member with the EMS helicopter based at the hospital â€" Life Flight. The hard work and vigilance that the team had towards every emergency influenced her to work towards becoming a flight registered nurse. She proved her dedication to this dream and went above and beyond expectations when in 1994, she became the youngest flight registered nurse in the United States. After years of service and achieving a management role in a regional air medical program, in 2005, Danielle learned that the government had a crucial need to outsource their MEDEVAC services to cover high-risk training on post, while their helicopter assets and efforts were needed for the war in Iraq. Feeling compelled to help, Danielle took it upon herself to support our military and launched United Medevac Solutions with close associate, Larry Case. Danielle effectively assembled the nation’s first privately contracted MEDEVAC service team for the Department of Defense. Following a $2.5 million in revenue in our first year and sustained steady growth, United Medevac Solutions acquired its own aviation company and aircraft assets to add long-distance air ambulance transportation to their portfolio.  Aero Jet Medical  is an all-inclusive transportation provider handling mission-critical logistics, from initial insurance benefit evaluation and acquiring necessary pre-authorizations to managing the entire patient transfer process and organizing international customs requirements. No matter the travel destination, Aero Jet Medical’s fleet of ICU-equipped jet aircraft stand ready to bring patients safely home. Danielles amazing story is an inspiring reminder that the things you put heart into will breed success in the future.  A moment or vulnerability and tragedy changed her life  because she chose for the experience to fuel a fire in her instead of letting it defeat her. With hard work and passion she accomplished one great feat after another and continues to do so to this day.

My favorite all-time motto is to “never set parameters in life … they are self-limiting.”   What particular advice would you give to someone who wants to start work in your field? Do extensive research, establish a solid business plan and don’t let fear deter your actions.     Additionally, my best piece of advice to business owners in all industries is to retain a valued business attorney early. It is critical to set your corporate foundation and to safeguard your efforts. Business owners should seek counsel before legal disputes surface or when problems are expected. I always say, “If in doubt, it is always better to spend money upfront before placing your company at the mercy of the appellate system â€" Ask yourself, can I afford a $10,000 a day burn rate at trial?” What is the biggest advice you can give to women who want to find balance in their work and personal life? Stay organized and prioritize both your work and personal life to find a balance of both.   Learn to delegate and don’t try to do it all.

How Personal Branding Guru Dan Schawbel Found His Passion 99,000+ Followers

How Personal Branding Guru Dan Schawbel Found His Passion 99,000+ Followers According to Dan Schawbel (a recent guest on Making a Living), the rise of the internet as a connector is enabling a new breed of worker, one who creates opportunity for him/herself by becoming known for authentic passions, interests and talents.  (I couldnt agree more!)If youve never thought about managing your career as a personal brand, Dan (who has over 99,000 followers on Twitter and over 5000 on Facebook) says youre missing out.On my radio show, Dan shared key concepts from his best-selling book Me 2.0 including his four-step process for job seekers and experienced professionals to discover, create, communicate and maintain a powerful personal brand.        Dan walks to talk and has lived his own advice.  I asked him to share his career story and best advice for you to create your own powerful brandQ: What makes you passionate about branding?A: The term “branding” has always been used when talking about marketing products and services, yet it has a major impact on how we manage our careers and personal lives. Branding is mysterious since we’re not always positive about how we’re portraying ourselves and how people perceive us. The internet has created a world in which our first impression is no longer a handshake, since our pictures and backgrounds are easily viewable after a single Google search. Branding is empowering and forces us to be our natural selves. We can all cultivate our own following and connections based upon our passions and expertise. I’m most passionate about branding because of the impact it’s had on my own life, giving me direction, and a sense of purpose, that I couldn’t have gotten any other way.Q: Did you always know this was the path for you?  If not, how did you find it?A: During my senior year of high school, I had my first internship cold calling companies, and after over one thousand calls without any success, I realized that I wasn’t meant to do sales. When I started college, I took it incredibly serious ly, and got straight A’s my first semester, which was a major accomplishment since I never believed I could do it before. This achievement gave me great confidence for the next four years.After deciding that marketing was my major, I realized that I needed internships if I was going to get a job after graduation in this competitive field. I created a set of materials, including a CD portfolio of my graphic design and website work, a business card, a website, resume, cover letter, and references document. I ended up with eight internships during college, including Reebok, Lycos, and LoJack. It took me over a year to get an internship at Reebok because those internships typically went to the sons and daughters of Vice Presidents. I never gave up though, and it became one of my greatest accomplishments of college, yet it wasn’t a very fulfilling work experience. I had also started a consulting business during my junior and senior year, working on websites and marketing plans for sm all businesses.At the beginning of senior year, I applied for jobs and decided that I wanted a product marketing position at EMC Corporation. It took me eight months, meeting fifteen people, and getting rejected twice, to land the job I wanted because I was too afraid to network back then. During my last set of interviews, I noticed one very interesting thing. Out of everything on my resume, the interviewers were most fascinated about my Reebok internship, even though I got almost nothing out of that experience. This was the first time that I truly realized the importance of branding.After a few months working at EMC, I started a blog called “Driven to Succeed,” which gave advice to students on how to get internships and jobs. This later turned into “Personal Branding Blog” after I read Tom Peter’s “Brand Called You” article in Fast Company, which was written in 1997. After reading Tom’s article, I realized immediately that personal branding was my passion, my career , and my future. I had never been so confident in anything in my life. The second after reading his article, I was researching to see who the voices were in this space and I couldn’t find anyone from my generation. I decided to brand myself as the “Gen-Y personal branding spokesman.” After blogging ten to twelve times a day, writing for sources such as About.com and Brandweek Magazine, starting Personal Branding TV, the Personal Brand Awards, and Personal Branding Magazine, Fast Company profiled me. The profile was published exactly ten years after Tom’s article came out, so I knew it was fate. The article led to Google asking me to speak on campus and to EMC hiring me internally as their first social media specialist. As Tom highlighted in his article, the most creative and smart employees will establish their own unique role at their organization. Once I was recruited for this new job based on my online brand, I wrote a book proposal and eventually published Me 2.0, and th at has led to my own company called Millennial Branding.Q: Is social media a fad or do you feel its here to stay?A: Social media will be an integrated part of our lives forever. Here are some important facts and figures that prove the importance and acceptance of social media:Facebook is worth 50 billion dollars and has 600 million users.The average web user spends .2 hours more on social media than email (TNS, 11/2010).By 2012, 88% of companies will be using social media tools for marketing purposes (eMarketer, 12/2010).Social media has permeated all areas of our society, including politics and pop culture. I care more about what social media means for our careers. 80% of companies are using social networks and search engines for candidate background checks. The internet has flattened hierarchies and allowed for connectivity so you can contact hiring managers directly instead of applying to jobs aimlessly.Q: For people who are just getting started thinking of themselves/their caree rs as brands, what’s the easiest first step?A: The first step is by far the most challenging Maggie. Professionals need to figure out how they fit into the world, what they’re passionate about, what their true talents are, and then commit to short-term and long-term goals. Sometimes you have to experiment until you find something you like, and other times it comes directly to you. Either way, you have to be the commander of your career if you want to be successful in this ever changing job landscape. (I have found its not as hard to figure out what you want with the right Soul Search, Research and Job Search support.)Many thanks to Dan!  For more of his advice visit Dans award-winning Personal Branding Blog. Get help with your elevator speech, a key part of any well-managed personal brand with my latest post on Whole Living.  [When it comes to your personal brand] be real.  Because everyone else is taken and replicas don’t sell for as much.” -Dan Schawbel

Returning to Work After Retirement - Jane Jackson Career

Returning to Work After Retirement - Jane Jackson Career What if we had to return to work after we retired?I had a chat with Matthew Tukaki on radio 2UE Talking Lifestyle, Second Career about the aging workforce.  What if they need to return to the workforce for financial reasons?  We discussed what retirees can do when they realise  that funds are running low because they dont have enough in superannuation to see them through their twilight years.Of course leveraging their skills to find employment in the world of work will be the obvious solution, but what about the fears of age discrimination in the workplace let alone getting over the hurdle of securing an interview and that dreaded age question? And on top of that, what if there arent a lot of work opportunities available where they live? What else can they do?Here are my suggestions on what can be done for extra income if finding a permanent full-time job is just too hard. The former federal treasurer, Peter Costello, has been warning us about for more than two decades that we†™ll have to work until we drop.While he doesn’t look it or feel it, Charles Wooley, a reporter on 60 MINUTES, is nudging 70. It’s led him to some serious introspection about his existence, and even more sombrely, contemplation of the “R” word. He still loves reporting for 60 MINUTES, and some may wonder if he should have  retired at 65? Isnt it time he kicked up his heels and enjoyed a life of leisure, golf, fishing or lawn bowls? According to a recent 60 MINUTES report, Wooley discovers, retirement is a word most Australians can no longer afford to dream about. The more likely reality, as Peter Costello â€" who is now Wooley’s boss at Channel Nine â€" said is Work until we drop.Heres the segment on 60 MINUTES. What are your thoughts? Type your comments below and lets start a discussion on what we, as older Australians, can DO about it!

Food for Thought Everything can change in the blink of an eye - Hallie Crawford

Food for Thought Everything can change in the blink of an eye I was in a funk last week for a few days. Feeling unmotivated and downright cranky sometimes. One day I was having twinges of pain from being pregnant plus I was starving, and I ended up being snippy to my husband and my mom. When I get this way I tend to become tense and tight, and wrapped up in what I perceive is a bad situation that feels like it will never end. Ok maybe thats a little dramatic, but you get the point. I think when anyone feels this way, you can become absorbed with how youre feeling at the moment. And it can seem like its going to last forever. When one thing bad happens to a client, they tend to engage in the its all going down the toilet syndrome. They start to focus on all the other things that arent going their way in their life. I like to remind them that this too shall pass. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, and however bad a situation is, it will change. So catch yourself this week if you do this same thing. Dont go down the toilet! If one bad thing happens, prevent yourself from focusing on all of the other not so great things. Instead try one of these tips: turn your attention to something that is going well, remind yourself that this too shall pass, or go do something that you enjoy that will distract you and improve your mood. Have a great week! Hallie,Let me help you find a new focus! Related Links:Food for Thought: Inspiring Quote

Writing Your Resume: How to Write Your Career Objective

Writing Your Resume: How to Write Your Career ObjectiveWriting your resume is the first step to putting a professional impression on your job search. Yet it is hard to know what you should put on your resume, and what not to put. Do not make the mistake of blindly going ahead and filling out your CV and seeing it through. This could lead to the serious problem of not knowing which elements are important and what are not.No matter how good your resume is and no matter how much you love to write it, it is far more important to know what you need to include on it than whether or not you need to include it. But how do you know what is going to make your resume professional, whether it is about the skills you have or the talents you have. You may ask yourself how can you do that, when you have no idea about your abilities. Well, it is difficult but the first thing you need to decide is what you want to do with your future. Will you be involved in your own business, maybe in a startup comp any, or will you work in a bigger company?To make a good decision about your career objectives, you should look at your skill set. Ask yourself, what is your passion? Your answers will enable you to understand your strengths and weakness. This will enable you to fill in the gaps in your profile. After that, you can formulate a career objective based on your skill set.One of the most important elements of a resume is your career goal. The purpose of your resume is to make you stand out from the competition. Without this, there would be no point in having a resume. Since we all aspire to get into one of the top companies, this is one part that is often overlooked. Though we are made to believe that once you get a job, you will never have to work for another company, this is not always true.So before you think about writing your career objective, ask yourself whether you want to go up the corporate ladder or if you just want to work in a normal office somewhere. Maybe you want to go af ter a promotion or take up a different line of work. Whatever your future holds, you need to make sure that you plan well and put in the best time, effort and energy into your career planning.Remember, your career objective will be what will get you the job you have been dreaming of. If you say you are looking for a job, but you can never find one, this would be a very good reason to put in some extra effort and give more importance to the career objective. If your career objective includes a long-term goal like a promotion or a higher salary, then you may consider your resume as just an additional tool to help you achieve your career objective.Most importantly, this is something that you need to seriously consider every time you look at your CV. By simply trying to find a job, your CV will never come out professional and you will end up looking like you are only interested in getting a job. Make sure that your resume is only for the sake of getting a job and not for one more thing.
