The Rypple Effect
Working Girl
FEBRUARY 11, 2010
I follow several talent management blogs that discuss how to be a better manager and there are some great ideas out there. Problem is, bad managers probably aren''t the ones reading up on how to be a great leader. But for those of you who actually are thinking about how to be the best leader you can be, Rypple may be a great new way to put theory into practice. For example, I just got a question emailed to me from a colleague: What can I do to better support you? And a manager I know just sent out a question: What is the most important thing I can do to be a better manager?

This writer couldn't get a letter of recommendation after her layoff. She posted a response in the comments, but also sent me this: My recent post was about letters of recommendation. actually did post a kind of a follow-up, but it is listed as "anonymous." The only thing that has changed is that one of my previous directors did indeed supply me with a letter. He was never that "by the book" and was always a champion of me (unlike the person that chose me to be laid off). Good for him, not so good for the other man. This person took a dream job that turned into a nightmare. Not too pleasant.

This guy didn't know how to dress for an interview. We all jumped in and gave our opinion. Here's what happened: I went with your advice and wore dress slacks, a tie and sport coat. It seemed to be fine. All of the interviews (which were panel type, me and 3-4 people at a time) were at the actual biomedical device production facility. Most people I interviewed with were wearing their normal job wear, khakis (or even jeans) and polo type short sleeve shirts. I was somewhat more formally dressed than those I spoke with but it wasn't so much that I felt out of place. Imagine that! Bingo!

Bad Grades

i found ur id on;line and found that u ans evil hr question. i am struck with a question in interview of "why my grades are so low". and also cant find an ans where a positive mindset is going to be created in mind of the interviewer. i am a law graduate. You know why you can't come up with a positive answer? Because your grades are low because you don't care one whit about them. Or at least you didn't until now when you are in need of actual employment. How do I know this? Your lack of caring is coming through loud and clear in your resume, your GPA, and your interviews. guarantee it. Honest.
