Casual Articles - You Can't Push a Pig into a Truck: Change is all about Choice
The first goal of any hiring manager is not to find a candidate, but to ELIMINATE unqualified candidates. Most hiring managers reading your resume will take the pile of up to 500 letters they received and try to separate the definite "no's' (Don't Call) into one pile and the interesting resumes into the second pile (Might Call). They then go back and eliminate again until what they have is a manageable pile (5-10 max) of pre-qualified candidates (To Call).Getting into the second pile (Might Call) is your first goal. The
A recent merger between The Knot and Wedding Channel has created a near monopoly in web advertising for wedding photographers.Companies like Wedding-Photographers-CT.com are starting to pop up as local responses to the corporate stronghold that The Knot currently has. Rather than compete on a national level website that focus on single states or regions have been able to provide a similar service to wedding photographers without the huge costs.“We don’t think that The Knot is doing a bad thing we just feel that they
A couple of times a year when Dad noticed that Snowball was ready, we transported her to the neighbor's farm for a social visit. One summer day, the time came for the appointed social visit to the neighbor’s boar. (Dad used this experience to serve the purpose of the traditional talk out behind the barn.) Dad sought my older brother, Joe, and me and informed us "It's time to take Snowball to the Howeiller farm. I have a couple of things to do. I have the truck in the pig pen. Go down and load her and I'll be there in a couple of minutes." We tended to do what Dad said given he was a high school principal and in those days a professional paddler. Joe and I proceed
There are a lot of fools around who will do many of these things automatically without this advice. Perhaps this advice may make them think twice.1. Produce work that constantly falls over in Systems Testing and in Production.2. When the manager gives his weekly/monthly talk to the department, make sarcastic comments to those nearest to you that the management can’t hear (or so you think).3. Under pressure, put a couple of changes into Production untested. After all the back-ups are run, the program falls over

There are many different and competing definitions of “corporate culture” in the organizational theory literature. On one end of the spectrum culture is simply defined as the patterns of behavior within the organization (Smircich, 1983). On the other end, some theorists have defined organizational culture as a system of shared cognitions and the human mind generates the culture by means of a finite number of rules (Fiol, 1991). Although all the theorists believe in the importance of the culture in the organizational studies but st

I recently read a blog post on all the reasons not to hire "superstars" and I could not have disagreed more with what I read. I have always subscribed to the philosophy that the quality of an organization's talent will have a direct correlation to their success...In other words the better a company's talent the more successful the enterprise will be. In today's blog post I will discuss the benefits of hiring Tier-One talent.I so vehemently disagreed with the blog post I noted above that I decided to put forth a point-by-poi
As a woman, there are many ways to keep me from doing business with you. One is to send me email spam; like most people, I don’t like that. Another way is to send teenagers to knock on my door to sell your product; if I don’t recognize the person knocking, I won’t answer. These are typical annoyances for most people, however, the #1 way to keep me from doing business with you may not be.I personally have a very low threshold for people who waste my time. My time is precious, and if you are wasting it, you are done.
