Gettin’ lucky on your job search

Published: 03/12/2010
Oh, St. Patrick’s Day. Each year you provide us with a day to pretend a lot of things. You let us pretend we’re Irish when we’re not. You let us pretend our livers are impenetrable to alcohol, but they’re not. You let us pretend we look good in tacky green clothing when most of us don’t. [...] Related posts:

Before you fill out that March Madness bracket…

Published: 03/11/2010
Few things unite co-workers like a good, old-fashioned office pool. Can you pick the date Ellen will have her baby? What about the baby’s sex and name? How many days in a row will Bob wear the same pants? How long can Fred go without checking his smart phone in a meeting?  It seems workers will bet on everything and anything – even when [...] Related posts:

Workers tethered by the e-leash in some strange places

Published: 03/10/2010
They do it while walking — oh so slowly — down the sidewalk. They do it at the gym. They do it at the movies. They even do it in the bathroom. They are using their smart phones. While some people are checking out Facebook, getting directions, reading the news or just plain addicted, many are still on the [...] Related posts:
