Even the most confident job seeker has a niggle of doubt every now and again. Even if it's only a twinge that wakes you up in the middle of the night, it's there. You're not alone. But there are ways to become more confident about yourself and what you bring to the table. Here's a story I did for Gannett/USAToday.com: If you’ve been out of work for a long time, self-doubt can begin to set in. Are you dressing correctly? Is your hairstyle out-of-date? Do you look too old? Too young? Could your communication skills be holding you back? Do you have bad breath, poor posture or a weak handshake?

I wrote a post back in July I Storyvite You about my initial experience using Storyvite , an online personal branding tool. The basic selling point of Storyvite is that it lets you present your ''profersonal'' story in a more inviting way than a traditional CV or LinkedIn profile. Play Story To give fair warning, the Storyvite product is still under construction.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I’m about six years into my IT career and like any business person I am always keeping my eye on the market. I’ve noticed a trend where employers post minimum experience requirements, which is not unusual. However the requirements are a bit overstated. For example, a former employer has posted a minimum requirement of eight years experience for the position I held and excelled at for several years (with only two years experience when I started). Truth be told, a second year undergrad could do that job without difficulty.

I spent yesterday at the CIPD’s Organisation Development conference. In general, it was a well run and very informative day, including excellent sessions from Mee-Yan Cheung-Judge and Linda Holbeche. But an ‘open space’ session it’s not. And I just hope the experience doesn’t put delegates off true open space experiences, like Connecting HR. Too many slides, and too many bullet points.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I don’t think I’ve seen this topic covered since I started subscribing to you. I’m curious what should I do when I realize that my manager is trying to use old information, and solicit my co-workers’ opinions about me to use it against me? Luckily, I’ve done my job well, and have earned awards for my office. On top of that, my coworkers are fair and all expressed that while we all run into disagreement, they all know that I am a good worker and do my job right. On top of that, he loves his assistant even though she’s useless, helpless, and just a total waste of oxygen.

People need to respect each other as individuals.

I’m on David McLeod’s Engagement Taskforce ‘guru group’ but will be missing their meeting today. However, I have been thinking further about engagement, largely as a result of my attendance at the CIPD’s OD conference the last two days. So we improve our HR processes, and encourage our leaders to treat their people better. Or what about if you’re managing a mischievous chimp?
