When I was a kid growing up in Southern California, my job search was only limited by the number of interviews I could get to on my bicycle or skateboard. A few years later, that expanded to how far I was willing to drive in my VW bug. When the Internet blew the top off of the job market in the early 1990s, I suddenly found myself competing against Divyansh, Raghav, and Uthkarsh in Bangladesh—even though the job was less than three miles from my apartment in Southern California. Then in the first quarter of 2020, the poop hit the fan. Little did I know, it would take a global…

Fun with Maandhata, Sandeep or Radhakrishna Or, how to stop telemarketers from calling you at 2:00 a.m.
I met a lady a couple of years ago through an online dating service and thought she might be worth investing in some, male enhancement drugs from one of the online Canadian pharmacies. Just in case I needed them. I had no suspicions that I would, but it’s like loading a gun. The best time to do it is before the gunfight erupts, not after.

Shake My Hand or I’ll Kiss You The simple handshake isn’t the only way people say hello... and it isn’t isolated to the United States
Moments after I was born, Dr. Felsenbaum greeted me with a slap on my heinie. Naturally, I was too young to understand the significance of the gesture and took immediate offense to being manhandled straight out of the womb. As it turns out, it wouldn’t be the last time someone slapped me on my backside. I just wished he would have given me a firm hand shake instead.

10 Ways to Use LinkedIn to Leverage Your Exposure and Find Work The movers and shakers of the business world share their secrets for publicizing your brand and find work
After the close of World War II, thousands of veterans flooded job markets all over the country in hopes of building new lives. During the 1950s, looking for work was markedly straight forward.

With luck, you’d compete against a handful of candidates and eventually be asked to interview. If you were lucky, you got the job. A lot has changed since those days. How the job market…
