WE NEED YOU! My name is Roberta Murphy and I am the Vice President at WFA Staffing. We have openings of almost every type and we need people who want to make a change for the better. We know you are out there and we know we can help you find a better place to…
Read MoreA Good Interview & A Not-So-Good Interview…There Is a Difference
A good interview & a not-so-good interview…there is a difference. You have worked diligently to secure an interview for a new job. You have made sure your appearance is that of an employee who has good cleanliness, pride in his or her appearance, and a real interest in making a good impression as the interview…
Read MoreAttitude Gains Altitude
Your attitude will determine your altitude. Our own Marquette University Law School conducted a poll recently asking what people thought about the economy going forward. About one-third thought it would get worse than last year at this time. That was the highest number since this poll began in 2012. If we are thinking like pessimists,…
Read MoreCost of New Employees
There is a usual rate of increase in the cost of new employees as anyone in business understands. We are, obviously, in a situation today where that increase is greater than it has been in the recent past. Business in general is on the uptick. Certain types of people with certain backgrounds are in even…
Read MoreAbsolutely OK
It’s absolutely OK… The idea that we all know precisely where we’re going is not only incorrect, but it is also dangerous since we’re each often unsure of the answer to that question…if there even is an answer to that question.

Napoleon Hill, a famous writer and philosopher defined it like this: Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. How many times…
Read MoreThe Power of Optimism

(See our recent entry http://wfastaffing.com/smile/ ) So there is a double-whammy in the package of…
Read More"Procrastination is the Thief of Time…"
This blog is about procrastination (I’d have done it earlier but something else came up). Maybe a poor attempt at humor, but there is a factual basis for the statement. How many times can you think of when you had an unpleasant or difficult task to perform, and you found ‘reasons’ to put off that task?…
Read MoreSMILE!
Want to have a better today…SMILE! There is evidence that when we smile, even if we aren’t feeling it at that moment, we begin to feel better. We can actually make ourselves feel better by smiling at others. Now, wasn’t that easy? When I receive a smile, I tend to automatically to return it. If I…
Read MoreConstructive Criticism
Criticism is something each of us has or will receive. It is up to each of us as to just how we’ll respond to criticism, and it is up to each of us as to what we will take away from the experience. There may be a way to avoid criticism, but that would probably…
