Search of a New Job
With the transitory nature of jobs these days,
and our own desire for new and different experiences, we can all
expect to be looking for a new job sometime during our careers.
Cenera, a talent management firm in Calgary, Alberta, conducted
a study of middle managers searching for new positions. They discovered:
- It took, on average, three months to secure
a new position, down from four months in the early 90's.
- The vast majority of new jobs were found through
networking. That has been the trend every year but one since
1993.
- Most returned to full-time, permanent employment
in the same job function and same industry. And, interestingly
enough, many of the rest started their own businesses.
- As for salary, of the ones who reported their
new salary, most earned the same as or more than they received
in their previous position.

 Daniel
Richer is not your typical entertainer/actor. He's been awarded
the accolade of Most Elegant Town Crier repeatedly. "And???",
you might ask. Well, he's an excellent addition to your conference,
convention, or promotional event, even marriage proposal! With
35 uniforms, from medieval court to First Nation regalia, he attracts
attention and gets your message across. Recently he performed
his Town Crier and Master of Ceremonies duties for the Cosmopolitans,
helping them to raise $35,000.
To discuss how Daniel, and any of our other
entertainers and speakers, can add value and panache to your event,
call Success Source International, our speakers bureau - 306-586-2315
or SuccessSource@dimension11.com.
Some Time Spent with the Governor General
 On
Tuesday, May 9, Governor General Michaelle Jean was in Regina.
One of her events was a walking tour of a north-central neighbourhood
initiating a program to provide housing and hope for low income
and First Nation families. Dimension 11 has been provided career,
parenting and self awareness training to First Nation people,
and, because of Tamara Reis's role as facilitator of these training
sessions, she was invited to attend the Governor General's session.
Tamara met the Governor General and had a good chat with her husband,
Jean-Daniel Lafond. Pictured is Tamara and Canada's Governor
General, Michaelle Jean.
