A reader sent me an e-mail and a link to Jason Calacanis' article: How to Hire--and Get Hired in a Recession. Calacanis advises the candidate to make it clear that you are a super hard worker. You keep up with the industry trends. You give your all to your company. He gives 8 questions he likes to ask. 1. Do you live to work or work to live? 2. Do you consider yourself a workaholic?

Conversation Matters
APRIL 17, 2009
One type of work I do with organizations is to analyze how organizational members talk to each other in ways that encourage or prevent knowledge from flowing between them. One way of talking that inhibits the exchange of knowledge is speaking with conviction. That may seem contrary to what we’ve all learned in communication and leadership workshops, where one of the lessons often taught is to speak with confidence- “sound like you mean it”.

Mom always told me, "It's what's inside that counts." Companies are finally paying attention to how social media affects their business outside the company walls. They recognize the extent to which Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, and other mass-collaboration forums present both opportunities and risks. There is excellent thought leadership on the topic, including Wikinomics , Groundswell , and Jeremiah Owyang's blog , just to name a few.

Over the weekend I Stumbled this post on an interesting learning strategy--lying: One of my favorite professors in college was a self-confessed liar. I guess that statement requires a bit of explanation. The topic of Corporate Finance/Capital Markets is, even within the world of the Dismal Science , (Economics) an exceptionally dry and boring subject matter, encumbered by complex mathematic models and obscure economic theory.

This is an intriguing question because each time we think about contacting someone for help on an issue we face a choice; Do I email, phone, walk down the hall, twitter, text message, post on the community website? This post is about the benefits of choosing to have a conversation* through what ever medium we select. The greatest benefit is that with conversation we get “more than an answer.

'Have you ever had a manager request or assign you a task and want it done in a time frame that was simply not realistic? This probably happened because they did not understand your job and day-to-day tasks. This generally leads to mistakes, stress and unrealistic expectations. The more a manager knows about the day-to-day operations of your business, the easier it will be to make informed decisions.

For the past several months, I've been fortunate enough to be inundated with work. I say fortunate, because as an independent, to have more work than you can handle is a good thing, especially in this economy. Please know that I am not getting ready to complain about the quantity of my work. I am truly grateful for what is coming my way. However, I am thinking about how creativity can be sucked out of you when you're doing "been there, done that, but it needs to get done again ASAP" kind of stu

'To be fair, I don’t think too many people actually believe that one size fits all when it comes to employee rewards so it’s not a myth per se. However as we look around we don’t find many companies behaving as if they realize that different demographic groups may respond best to different types of rewards. An insightful Watson Wyatt report offered a simple graphical representation of the rewards ‘sweet spot’, which includes not only cost to the company and alignment with company strategy but al

What is the best way to launder money I make under the table while I am on unemployment? I imagine all that under the table money has gum on it, or perhaps other slimy substances.

(Not that I've tried to get gum off money, but money is made out of cotton fibres and I have had gum on clothes.

'McKinsey tells us that the “Cloud” is over hyped and users can get better TCO through “aggressive virtualization”. Google responded , saying that there is more to the Cloud than just virtualization. They point out that very large scale hardware infrastructure is hard to do, the “Cloud” is more about software than hardware, and finally, that the Cloud delivers a constant stream of innovation—something that is very hard to do by just virtualizing your applications.

'With all the talk about customer service and responsiveness, it is interesting to note how many businesses talk a good game but just don''t deliver. We can all relate experiences with businesses where an appropriate sense of urgency didn''t seem to exist. One area that seems to stand out is responding to customer inquiries and complaints. When a customer, or prospective customer, takes the time to contact a business they are looking for some type of assistance.

Someone emailed me this morning to ask how to deal with negative comments on your blog. I sent her a response, but thought it might also be helpful to do a post. What is a Negative Comment? The first question we have to ask ourselves is what do we mean by a "negative" comment? There's a difference between commenters who engage in name-calling or clearly inflammatory rhetoric on your blog and those who simply disagree with what you say.

'Companies are continually advised to invest in their top talent and this is not bad advice. But the almost exclusive focus of talent management authorities on ‘top talent’ seems a bit myopic and may be an overly simplified version of the full picture. In reality, a lot of people contribute to the success or failure of a company and even ‘top talent’ depends on the performance of these people.

This little iPhone app is for recording your Twitter thoughts, saving them for later and then publishing (or unpublishing).

Another guy and I, used to work for a "bad boss". You know the type - he will lie, cheat, steal, etc. if so inclined. This other guy quit, and after the "non-compete" period was up, he started his own "competing" company. His company grew enough to bring on additional help, and he offered me a job. I accepted his offer and turned in my notice to HR at the old company.

I have an exempt employee on intermittant FLMA, due to a medical illness which has been confirmed by a doctor. The employee has not used all of the 12 weeks as of yet, but is getting there. The employee is very sporadic in when he/she will work, some days the employee is fine and others not. She will work a week here and off one here and there. The doctor has cleared her to work 6 hours a day, but these six hours the work ethic is very poor, no past documentation.
