Bad Answers/Good Answers: Discussing Teamwork In An Interview
Everyone knows that they need to talk about their experiences at their former jobs and community activities in a job interview. However, what most people need work on is providing an interviewer with enough details so that they can actually picture you doing that activity.

Have you ever finished listening to an explanation from a purported subject matter expert only to wonder what it was they just said? It has been my experience that the more vague, general or ambiguous an explanation, the less command of the subject matter the person doing the explaining likely possesses. It is one thing to toss around the latest buzz-words, but it is quite another thing to actually know what they mean and have the ability to correctly apply them. In today’s blog post I’m going to reveal the tricks of those who practice what I call “the black art of confusion.”Everyone knows that they need to talk about their experiences at their former jobs and community activities in a job interview.

How The Internet Can Replace The Newspaper Classifieds When Looking For A Job
I was stuck in a dead end job. No room to move up. Waiting for a year for a quarter raise. Don’t get me wrong. I liked my job, I just wanted more. I couldn’t see doing what I was doing for the next 20 years and retiring making a measly five dollars more a year than what I started at. I needed help. So with that in mind I decided to take a look at what else was available. I had already browsed the newspaper c

While I appreciate the great oratory skills of those who communicate using wonderful word pictures or the academics that can wax eloquent always using best form of prose, I prefer my business communication to be quick and dirty…In the immortal words of Jack Webb: “The facts ma’am..just the facts.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m not word bashing as I enjoy and appreciate anyone who has command of a great vocabulary (see an earlier post entitled “Vocabulary…It does Matter“), but I don’t have time for a 30 minute explanation of something that could have been, and should have been communicated in 2 minutes…Ahh, the lost art of brevity, but I digress.You've heard it all before when it comes to stats about customer retention.
