Got Skills?

Ask some folks what their skills are and they get that “deer in the headlights” look and begin to rattle off a list of things like: Microsoft Excel, Outlook, or ACT. Or they might say they are able to read and write – usually it sounds like this: Ability to communicate at all levels; Business [...]

The Faster I Run, The Behinder I Get…

It has been quite an “Alice in Wonderland” sort of week – the days have flown by.  Part of this is the disruption of my normally hectic schedule with the inclusion of jury duty.  And the issues and opinions about Jury Duty from the employer and employee perspectives.  And yes, this means I am servin

What should I put on my resume?

I am often asked – what are hiring managers looking for on a resume? There is not a generic answer to this question, and it tells me that the questioner is trying to create a “One size fits all” resume.  Nearly every resume you send out will need to be tweaked for the position you [...]

Give me an example of…

As a hiring manager, and when I was a recruiter, I often asked questions that began with “Give me an example of…”.

Entrepreneurial Vitamins – Caine’s Arcade

Without a doubt, if you need a little optimism today — watch this great video.  I smiled all the way through, and felt totally energized watching Caine at “work.”  It reminded me of something we forget all the time – that enjoying one’s work equals play.  It made me remember all the fun things I did

Say “Cheese”

The other day, on my way to do errands at lunch time, I saw an old-fashioned record shop.  Oh, it sold CD‘s and DVD‘s, but it also sold VINYL.  Old and new.  And yes, there are new vinyl records being pressed and collected.  Of course, you wind up playing them on a USB connected peripheral [...]

We are in the land of “New is Better”

Sometimes it feels as though we are in the land of “New is Better” – we are a consumer society… looking for the next new thing. A good example is Pinterest.com - this social site caught people’s imagination like wildfire, and why?  Not only was it “new” it was visual.  And a picture is worth [...]

Are women better leaders than men?

Are women better leaders than men?. As a woman who has been a leader and is now back in a leadership role,  I immediately clicked on “piblogger‘s” post when I saw it on my Facebook Wall this morning.
