Ten Interviewing Rules
Whether you are a first-time interviewer making your first transition to the world-of-work or a seasoned professional, these 10 interviewing tips are essential to your success! 1. Look Sharp. Before the interview, select your outfit. Depending on the industry and position, get out your best duds and check them over for spots and wrinkles.

Save your Soul...
Let's face it: Working in a cube can suck out your soul. A year or two doing the same tedious job, whether in an office or at a construction site, tends to turn a perfectly normal human being into something that could pass for the walking dead. And while this is true about any job, there's something special about being able to stare into a computer screen for most of the day something about that warm computer glow that seems to especially attract everything that makes life worth living and suck it into the abyss.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Robert Shindell
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
President Theodore Roosevelt
"Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, ...Paris, April 23, 1910
