If you are visiting our site for the first time, then we&#8217;d like to help you get the most out of it by answering some of the most common questions we receive:</p>
<p><strong><em>What is CAREEREALISM?</em> </strong>This site is technically a blog, but before you cringe and think about leaving, let us explain that it is actually a powerful learning tool. Blogs have the ability to educate readers in a way that can maximize their comprehension in a minimal amount of time. By reading a blog post and the comments shared by fellow readers, we are able to gain greater perspective on a subject. In other words, reading blogs is a really smart way to absorb a lot of knowledge &#8211; FAST.</p>
<p><strong><em>Why was it created?</em> </strong>Individuals are more confused than ever with respect to the smartest ways to find a job they enjoy. At the same time, Corporate America is struggling to understand how to make their work environments something worth committing to. We recognized a need to provide unique, interesting advice that could help readers find ways to achieve the success they desire. Instead of the same old content, we will be looking for ways to offer &#8216;refreshingly real advice&#8217; that will inspire employees and managers to take control of their situations and make good things happen.</p>

<p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong> Career Media Expert, J.T. O’Donnell will share the five business essentials career educators will need to succeed in 2012. O’Donnell is the founder of the top-ranked career advice site, CAREEREALISM.com as well as CEO of <a href="http://www.careerhmo.com/" target="_blank">CareerHMO.com</a>, the first career coaching membership service provider. In this hour-long webinar, O’Donnell will share:</p>
<ul>
<li>New trends in career education that will define your reputation in the industry.</li>
<li>Changes in consumer thought you can use to your advantage.</li>
<li>Tools and resources that can help you expand your business in 2012.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Career Educators Have New Year’s Resolutions Too – To Earn More $$$ in 2012 </strong></p>
