There are Two People in a Job Interview

Jim Bauer @porwest (111440) • United States 14 Oct

On the surface, the title may seem obvious. You have the person conducting the interview, and the person being interviewed. And 99% of the time, that's the dynamic that is taking place in most interviews. I have never been part...

Jim Bauer @porwest (111440) • United States 29 Aug

For years Democrats thundered from the podium about "making rich corporations pay their fair share." They railed against big business offshoring jobs for cheap labor, leaving American workers in the dust. But now? I'm starting...
