Hybrid is the Preferred Workplace Model, Not Remote
Hybrid is the Preferred Workplace Model, Not Remote
I’ll preface by saying that work-from-home articles have been beaten to death. But this article is backed by a poll in which 2,602 people participated, and it includes comments from some of the voters. In my mind, this number of voters is a forum.

Of those who voted, 49% prefer a hybrid workplace. This is not surprising, as we are social beings and enjoy…

Coaching Sports and What Makes Older Workers Valuable
Coaching Sports and What Makes Older Workers Valuable
I coached soccer in my early 20s. To say I was a good coach would be an inaccurate. Looking back at those years, I cringe at some of my acts of behavior. I was a hothead. I knew how to teach the fundamentals and knew strategy, but I didn’t know how to act on the sidelines.

The games were all about me. Winning was paramount, and I took it out on my players…

How Many Hours per Week Should One Dedicate to the Job Search? It All Depends
How Many Hours per Week Should One Dedicate to the Job Search? It All Depends
The job search is a full-time job is a mantra we’ve heard many times. If a full-time job is 40 hours or even 35 hours a week, does it mean job seekers should dedicate that much time to the search? What’s the ROI on spending that much time? Is the search being conducted properly or is it poor time management?

4 Thoughts on Sharing Posts on LinkedIn
4 Thoughts on Sharing Posts on LinkedIn
The problem with public proclamations is that when you make them you have to practice what you preach, lest you be labeled a hypocrite. Case in point, I’ve stated that one should only share three to four posts a week. This means that if I’ve reached four posts by Wednesday, I’m shut off for the week. At least in my mind I am.

Look, everyone has the right to voice their opinion. So when recruiters say they don’t read cover letters, it doesn’t offend me. And it doesn’t cause me to trash my cover letter webinar. I certainly don’t advise my clients to refrain from writing them.

Nothing I can say will change the opinions of cover-letter naysayers. That’s not my intent. My intent is…

The Thoughts of 7 Recruiters on How to Get To an Interview
The Thoughts of 7 Recruiters on How to Get To an Interview
