Having worked in recruiting for many years, as certain as the sun rises in the morning, a typical job interview will begin with an interviewer asking, "Tell me yourself." As certain as the sun sets at the end of a day, the person answering the question will answer the question badly, answering the question off the cuff.

Our son is now almost 10 and a terrific reader. When he was “little,” he was a very active child . . . or at least he seemed that way to us older parents raising him. Each night, as part of our bedtime ritual, we would get him into bed and read stories to him. When he was very young, he would finish lines of the story and that made us think he was a genius and reading at a ridiculously young age (he wasn’t; he had memorized the story). Now that he is almost 10 and able to read very well on his own, he begs for extra time to finish a chapter before we turn his lights out. And the fact ...

I love to cook. I was introduced to tempeh when I was dating my wife. We would go to a little juice bar in Greenwich Village where we would have a tempeh bacon sandwich with delicious barbecue sauce.

By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter Writing a resume is a difficult experience for most people . . . and it shows. Most I read are awful. They just don't measure up. On a typical Monday morning, I arrive to 175 - 225 new resumes and, if I'm lucky, two may vaguely fit what a client is looking for. They are visually unappealing, contain too much of the wrong information and do little to present someone's credentials well enough to get an interview for the job the resume has been submitted for. "No B. S. Resume Advice" is exactly that-- no b. s. resume advice. It contains specific actionable ...

I feel like one of the Smothers Brothers. Mom AND Dad always like my brother best. He was always the competent one and I was a baby and by definition incompetent.

But that ended when my mother learned that my wife was away during a Jewish holiday meditating. I had hair no longer than a finger but was told I had long hair. I was told to eat what was on my plate but then was told I was eating too ...
