Instinct and reason
Sometimes you’re the mongoose; sometimes you’re the snake: instinct leading to fluent victory or your gut guiding you to the jaws of doom. Imagine your advantage when you learn to tell the difference.

Reframe Employment Gaps
Reframe Employment Gaps - use your experience outside of your job to demonstrate you're a good fit
Today’s HBR tip meshes with my last post. Regarding your answers to interview questions, I said, “don’t limit yourself to on-the-job experiences.” Why? Because it’s all about establishing evidence that you can do the job. You can definitely demonstrate skills outside of full-time employment (especially if you’re a student). The “Management Tip of the Day” from Harvard Business Review deals with…

Prepare for Interview Questions
Student questions this recruiting season inspired this article to help you "Prepare for Interview Questions."
Guidance for students preparing for an internship interview. This recruiting season is winding up. Met a lot of great students. I always give out my contact information, but students rarely follow-up. One did and asked for help with interviewing. Apparently she’s applied scores of times, been interviewed a half dozen times, and received no offers. Her questions about interview questions inspired…

The Early Bird is Catching Even More Worms
The Early Bird is Catching Even More Worms - students should overcome friction to participate in career fairs.
I worked two virtual career fairs at local universities this week. Very different from in-person, and even different from the virtual fairs in October. The most important difference: there were far fewer students. Furthermore, far more of those who did show up had already completed at least one internship. More than I’ve ever seen before in the last 16 recruiting seasons (8 years).Successful…

What role did networking play in landing your current job or any past jobs?
What role did networking play in landing your current job or any past jobs? Spoiler alert: A lot.
That’s the question I saw on my alma mater’s networking site. Students can connect with and ask questions of alumni.
It struck me. Earlier today I had a video conference with a student to give career advice. He was worried about class schedules. I was worried about his network.
Is this a coincidence? No. Pervasive.
In general, most jobs are never posted.
Me. And lots of other people, too.

This Book Will Save Your Life
This Book Will Save Your Life (if you ever do any hiring): The Effective Hiring Manager
Back in January, I found out that Mark Horstman’s second book, The Effective Hiring Manager, was available for pre-order on Amazon.com. It was a no-brainer: I ordered it immediately.
When a Manager Tools licensee newsletter announced in August that Horstman would be signing copies, I ordered a signed copy. I had to get a signed copy to match my signed copy of his first book, The Effective Manager.
