What are you doing for others?
Giving Back The title of this post comes from a quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, spoken to an audience in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1957, and often repeated throughout his life’s work. Dr. King is widely remembered for leading a radical, nonviolent civil-rights movement that rippled across the world. Today we commemorate his life in the same way he lived it, by giving back to others. Volunteering in our community is an obvious way to give back, but there are also substantial benefits for job seekers.

Email Etiquette: Contacting the Hiring Manager
Tips for Following Up After You Apply After submitting an application, it’s often considered best practice to follow up with the hiring manager if possible. In general, it’s ideal to send your message to an actual person, rather than a generic inbox. However, keep in mind that some recruiters might be turned off by candidates who do not follow explicit instructions in the job posting. If it says not to call or walk-in, for instance, then it’s probably best not to do so. When crafting a message to a potential employer, it’s difficult to know what level of formality to …

Disability Inclusion Starts With You
You Must be Part of the Change Making Meaningful Change to Disability Inclusion and Hiring After explaining Peak Performers Staffing Agency mission of hiring people with disabilities to a new person, I experience a range of emotional reactions ranging from enthusiasm to curiosity to indifference.
