Vacation Time: Reset Your Perspective
By Mellanie Hills
We just returned from a family vacation that was several weeks long.
We travelled in a motorhome, and spent several days enroute, soaking up local scenery. After a delightful week visiting relatives in Alabama and Georgia, we took our son on a college visit at our alma mater, and then dropped by the Florida coast for spring break. The pristine beaches of the Gulf Islands National Seashore were truly spectacular. Nearby was a fabulous seafood restaurant; we had a lovely lunch on their patio overlooking the beach, and returned again to enjoy the sunset. Continued ...
Register today to see Mellanie at WITI's National Conference on June 8 & 9, where she will be speaking on "Designing the Plan for Your Life and Health".

Résumé Readiness
By Vivian VanLier, CPRW, JCTC, CEIP, CCMC, Certified Career Coach and Résumé Writer
Do you have an up-to-date résumé? Hardly a week goes by that I don't receive a call from someone asking if I could write their résumé, TODAY!!! An opportunity has been presented to them and they've been asked to provide their résumé ASAP. Since I require my clients to provide me with salient information regarding their past accomplishments, achievements and value-added contributions in previous positions as well as identifying their core marketable talents, they are rarely prepared to provide me immediately with the information I need to write an interview-clinching résumé.
Today we are experiencing the tightest, most volatile and highly competitive job market in years. More than ever, you must be proactive in continually assessing and self-marketing your skills, talents, abilities, experience and training. A "Cutting Edge Résumé"™ that positions you ahead of your competition is a critical tool in your job search and career management arsenal.

Atlantic Associates Hires Director of Operations / Legal Counsel
Julie Ross leaves Suffolk County District Attorney's Office for new position with local IT firm
Julie B. Ross recently joined Atlantic Associates, Inc., a full service information technology temporary-to-permanent staffing solution company in West Roxbury, Massachusetts as the Director of Operations/Legal Counsel.
Atlantic's CEO John Fitzgerald has seen unprecedented growth in his firm since first opening in 1998. "We are in a very fortunate position to be doing so well in spite of so many companies sending their IT work overseas," says Fitzgerald. "By hiring Julie, we're making a major commitment to our operations department while bringing our legal counsel in-house".
Ms. Ross brings her extensive knowledge of computer operations and technology to her new position with Atlantic. Previously, she has served as a prosecutor specializing in computer and white-collar crime with both the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office and the Attorney General's Office. As lead legal counsel for Atlantic, she is building a training program that will mirror her efforts at the Attorney General's Office, working to create proactive systems that will protect a company from potential computer crimes.
Ross' father is Steve Ross, the founder of the New England Holocaust Memorial. As a daughter of a holocaust survivor, Ross is the President of Generations After, a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve the legacy of holocaust survivors. Generations After is a now involved in a pilot program with the Jewish Family and Children's Services.
