April 21, 2007 Edition of Carnival of Career Intensity
Welcome to the Carnival.
Here are this week’s top five posts submitted to the Carnival of Career Intensity.
Joseanes presents Two Weeks Notice – Why? posted at Money And Investing – Reasoning and alternatives to the Two Weeks Notice “rule.
It is very common to think that when leaving a company you should give Two Weeks Notice. Some companies even make you sign papers expressing you will, although I have been fortunate not to face those types of contracts.I certainly think that a Two Weeks Notice gives the opportunity for the employer to ease some of the pain of loosing a valuable resource. That is a very nice thing to do that shows that you really care about the company you are leaving and about leaving a nice impression on those that have worked with you.
However, there are some things that we might want to consider.

Ryle presents Using Web 2.0 for Career Development posted at The Thinking Men.
Web 2.0 refers to the usage of the World Wide Web as an interactive medium, inviting users to take part in shaping the content of their favorite websites. A few examples include Wikipedia, Myspace, and Del.icio.us. All these sites allow users to create their own content, which then becomes available for everyone to read. Many magazines and newspapers have done articles stating that Web 2.0 is the next evolution of the Internet and the Web, and a conscious person will want to take advantage of Web 2.0 for career development and advancement. So what can you do with Web 2.0 to further your career?
Murad Ali presents 5 Steps to Preventing Workplace Violence posted at The New Business World.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 95% of the 7.1 million U.S. employers reported at least one act of some type of workplace violence in 2006. These acts may include anything from assault, armed robbery to even homicide. With the recent bloodbath at Virginia Tech, where two professors died, and another homicide at Delphi in Michigan many managers and business owners wonder what they can do to reduce the chance of violence in their workplace.
Dave Prouhet presents How to Resolve Conflict in the Workplace posted at Business Advice Daily,
Conflict happens. It happens in all areas of business. Disputes can arise between employees, between business partners, between a company and a client. And if such issues are not settled, bad things can happen. Good people quit. Profitable relationships dissolve. Great companies go under. This has always been true, of course. In a global economy, the implications of conflict are more profound than ever before.
