If I were starting a company, I’d probably opt for enthusiastic self starters who have a proven track record of getting objectives accomplished. Financial goals are always important, but often times, a person within a company doesn’t necessarily have direct control over a revenue goal, a cost controlling scheme or a like matter. Now, I’ve [...]
I’ll be transitioning into a new role here in a pretty short amount of time and it’s gotten me thinking about meeting and working with new people a lot.
Trust in an incredibly important piece of teamwork and any relationships in general. I have a professor who has spent the majority of his recent work on [...]
My output has been relatively low for March and April, but the time has gone incredibly quickly. I can’t really promise anything different over the next few months as school is wrapping up, I may be taking a trip for a bit and it’s summer time. Additionally, depending on the time and landing, I’ll be [...]

Certain competencies and abilities are very visible. Being able to dunk a basketball is quite demonstrable. So is solving an advanced math problem or playing a Bach concierto. They are rulers. If you can you can, if you can’t you can’t.
There are other skills that are not so easily seen. These skills are not distinguishable [...]
A Brand Called You got this all started. The internet blew it up. There are thousands upon thousands of people today who are seeking to build a brand through a website and monetize it based on their thinking or selling something of their own. I personally feel it’s an amazing aspiration and hope genuinely for [...]
A good friend just forwarded me a job opening for a social media guru. I’m not on the market, but it’s interesting to see the uptick in these types of positions. What’s more interesting is what they want to see out of candidates. They want experience in the field, which some people have. The issue [...]
Politics is a weak point for me. I’m up front with what I think and why almost all the time, which isn’t necessarily the best practice. Politics is an art form and means a lot of things to a lot of people. For all reasons here, politics refers to working with people [...]
LinkedIn has always been something I never really bought into. I signed up a long time ago, didn’t do anything with the profile, then resigned up with a new email and am now close to having a final profile. Since last year, my mind has been slowly changing about it’s utility. I’ve had friends tell [...]
