Like most people, I've attended some great PowerPoint presentations, and some truly horrible ones. One of the worst ones I ever attended was by a very well-regarded researcher -- but I found myself redesigning my kitchen in my head I was so bored. And while I never did get my new kitchen, I did learn what makes a bad PowerPoint presentation. But what makes a great one? Kosslyn says.

The job-hunting experience can be a stressful one: sending out resumes, interviewing, sending out more resumes and interviewing again. It can take weeks, even months, to nail the job you want. Finally, you get the position you desire. And while you’re a bit nervous in the beginning, the new job begins to feel more comfortable after a while, and you settle in to the routine. Walk around. Pitch in.

Not to toot my own horn but I’m kinda good at it. I’m considered extremely intelligent, however my social graces aren’t up to par. I’m usually well liked and I do impeccable work. I’m doing something wrong in the interviews. I’ve been a finalist a few times now but not gotten the job. Sadly, I used to be good at interviewing. In other words, you’ve got to play the game.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I’m currently unemployed, but I interviewed with a past colleague heading a new company department. I was told after the interview that “they wanted me” and I just had to talk to a couple of other guys. At that interview the guys seemed like they were indifferent. They were preoccupied and knew little about me. After the interview, I was told by HR that I was it and they stopped looking for others. I was also told that although I would start as a Senior Art Director, that would be fast-tracked to Associate Creative Director. would be contacted that evening or the next day.

Dear Evil HR Lady, About a year ago I finished my MBA. While working on my MBA, I had imagined that there would be plenty of opportunities when I graduated. Unfortunately even with an advanced degree, my two years in finance are not enough to qualify me for advanced positions. My current employer gave me a great retention bonus, yet no raise. Senior management told me that I do an outstanding job, and that they do not want to lose me. Also should I be looking at other jobs so that I have firm counter offers to come back to them with?
