Let’s face it; many Americans still don’t fully understand the intricacies of the new Healthcare Reform. 15 million Americans are out of work and many are without health benefits as they lost their health coverage with their jobs. It is important to know that the Obama’s healthcare plan may be useful for the unemployed or who are on the fringes.
We’ve dissected the new bill to see how it could benefit the unemployed individuals. Basically, the new law makes it mandatory for all Americans to have health insurance by 2014, while providing many options and policies benefiting the unemployed and the uninsured. Here are some of them:
Do you feel nervous when meeting new people? Do you hesitate when making a phone call or starting a conversation? Do you feel awkward when another person is in proximity to you? Do you experience lack of confidence when talking to a potential employer?
If you experience any of above, chances are, you are shy. Shyness is a social psychology term. It is used to describe the feeling of apprehension, lack of confidence, or awkwardness, especially in new situations or with unfamiliar people. Shyness may be a result of personality introversion, genetic traits, or the environment in which an individual is raised.
You don’t have to be a psychologist to understand that shyness could be a major obstacle in your career. Unfortunately, in most cases it is not something that is easy to overcome and it doesn’t just go away on its own. Shyness could be a big hurdle on a way to your professional success. It can prevent you from achieving your goals. It can keep you from getting a job of your dreams, climbing the carrier ladder, or even building a professional network.

This year’s layoff came as a surprise to those who believed this statement. Don’t be caught by a surprise, layoffs are not always based on your performance. The sooner you let go of your company and just move on, the better it will be.”
“Don’t bother with showing the severance package to an attorney, just move on. Most likely you company and its lawyers have already been down this road. Layoffs have been going on for many years.” Read this »
