The One Nugget Report from The Project Management Advisor™
Issue 2009-01 - Don't Embellish Your Credentials

Happy New Year Colleagues!   I have received feedback from a number of my readers about the content and frequency of my newsletters.  Many of the comments have been about me writing shorter, more frequent nuggets that you can read in just a couple of minutes.  So beginning with this issue I will do a shorter weekly report with only one topic which I am calling (hold on to your hats for this creative brainstorm!) The One Nugget Report.  I hope that my reports bring value to your daily journey as leaders and that even just one nugget makes its way into your vocabulary. 

In this environment many of you are contemplating job changes or are in the very unfortunate situation of having to look for a new job. For those of you in this situation I truly hope that you are able to land in the perfect job and you'll enjoy a long and fruitful career at your future employer.

I have talked with many professionals in the past few months who are having to update their CV. One key piece of advice I have been giving is the subject of this issue's article: Don't embellish your credentials. In this excerpt from The Truth About Getting Your Point Across...And Nothing But The Truth I discuss this swimming-with-sharks practice that too many professionals partake in only to take a credibility hit when they are found out. Check out the article here.
