Do You Talk About Yourself Too Much at Work? by Alexandra Levit - Nov, 2011 Some people start out just wanting to share quality information, and so others listen to them in order to learn and reap of the benefit of the experience and knowledge. Unfortunately, many of these same people become addicted to the attention paid to them, and they gradually become narcissistic. Their advice becomes less about situations that apply to the audience in general, and more about, well, them. Their conversations... |

That recruiter was so rude! by Emily Chardac - Nov, 2011 I've heard it, you've heard it, we've all heard it. Some recruiters don't have people skills.

The Positions Are Out There, But Job Seekers Don't Fit the Bill by Alexandra Levit - Nov, 2011 I talk to job seekers every day, and they have strikingly similar attitudes. They feel frustrated that the market remains so poor. Whether they are at junior, mid-, or senior levels, they find that the jobs just aren’t out there.
