🚀 How to Win the Job Search Race (Issue #557)
No one ever said the job market was fair. That’s even more true in the current economy which has been plagued with layoff after layoff. Now, in this race for a new job, some candidates are clearly driving race cars, while others are struggling to make it around the job search track with an underpowered engine or even a flat tire. Why is that? Let me play with this metaphor for a bit, starting with

🚀 Successful People Are Better at These Things (Issue #525)
The most successful people in your industry and profession may not be better than you. They also may not be more intelligent, talented, or hardworking than you.

🚀 Find a Job by Hunting, Trapping, and Planting (Issue #493)

I love animals, so please don’t take my talk of “hunting” literally and miss the advice I’m trying to share in this article. Human beings have been acquiring food to survive for millions of years. We’ve used a combination of active/direct and passive/indirect methods to find the animals and pl
🚀 The Danger of Showboat Leaders (Issue #485)
Have you ever worked for a showboat? That’s the kind of leader who wants all the attention. They lead from the top down and expect everyone to get in line behind their vision of the future.

Seth Rogen's Take on Networking (Issue #383)
A few days ago, I tweeted a quote from Seth Rogen using something he said on the podcast “Dead Eyes.” It’s produced and hosted by Connor Ratliff and explores the time Tom Hanks fired him from the 2001 HBO mini-series, Band of Brothers. It’s pretty good. You should check it out. I heard Seth talking about auditions and it made me think of the frustration people feel after dozens of failed job inter
Q&A from the Community (Issue #379)
The past two weeks have been interesting and challenging. I was selected for jury duty service here in California, and I have a few weeks left in the trial.

Your Account Has Been Suspended (Issue #359)
