Even during an economic downturn, finding meaning in our lives is not a privilege reserved only for a select few – it’s everyone’s responsibility.
At the risk of sounding too preachy, I’ll borrow some insight from Jewish wisdom that says: ”The day that you were born was the day that G-d decided that the world could no [...]
According to Jewish Mysticism (a.k.a. Kabbalah) the number 9 represents truth*. Since it’s 2009, I’ve taken the liberty to declare this my year of finding my own truth.
Part of my commitment has been to discover what gives meaning to my life. That includes finding meaningful work. Those things that bring meaning to my life [...]
On my latest trip to South America I met a remarkable woman who I’ll call Maria.
Maria took care of my grandfather for many years until the second that life left him a week ago at age 96.* As thankful as I am for her unconditional support and care for grandpa Pipo during his last years, [...]
Even if I may not always agree with what Dr. Sullivan has to say over at ere.net (like what he wrote about talent swapping), his out-of-the-box thinking is quite refreshing. Recently he wrote an article about proximity recruiting. Proximity recruiting is about finding candidates through face-to-face interactions – as opposed to non-physical recruiting including job [...]
It has been an active end of year.
My first book is in the editing stage, my posts are appearing on more and more places in the blogoshpere (thanks everyone for your support!) and I’ve been invited to contribute to a number of blogging communities.
As I shared with you earlier, I’m now part of the Women [...]
Evil, evil, evil is what I was thinking after re-reading for the third time an article on talent swapping over at ere.net (“a premier online community for recruiters, with more than 95,000 unique visitors per month”)
To let you in on my thoughts, I’ll start by defining a S.W.A.P. (Strategically Waving Average Performers).
In the words of [...]
I confess. In most areas of my life I’m a loner.
Sports have been a major part of my life ever since I can remember. And for the most part I’ve gravitated towards individual activities. Singles tennis, running, skateboarding, biking, swimming. All of which involve very minimal interaction with other people – if any at all. Don’t [...]
I’m proud to say that I’m now a blogger at womenforhire.com. Founded in 1999, it’s a website dedicated to “connecting employers with the brightest group of diverse career women, as well as providing those women with exceptional advice on advancement”.
I’ve found it to be one of the few sites that puts its money where its [...]
There’s a discussion going on over at brazencareerist. Andy Drish is trying to decide whether to get an MBA or not. His dilemma came about because his employer is offering to pay for part of his MBA and he’s finding that to be too good an offer to refuse. Among the things that have been [...]
Once upon a time I used to think less of those people who considered a long commute to work a deal breaker when considering a job offer. My main requirements to accept a job were money and title. If I felt that I could either do the job or learn it and the money was [...]
It's usually twists and turns that lead to the top. So stop following a straight line.
