Today's Career Tip: Make the World a Better Place

As I follow the repercussions of the tragic shootings that took place in Tuscon last Saturday, I am coming up empty in my daily search for a golden nugget of career advice to post. For today, let's come up with ideas on how we can make the world a better place. Volunteer at a local nonprofit. Get involved in your community. Say a kind word to a stranger. Say a kind word to someone you don't like that much. Donate on line to fight world hunger. Do something nice for a child. Offer your professional services pro bono to an organization that helps families. When you have come up with your idea - one that has special appeal to you - take action. Just do it!
