Doing the Dirty Work: How to Tell an Employee He’s Not Dressing Appropriately

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Wear appropriate clothing to work, even if it's business casual. Don't wear strong cologne or perfume. Take care of personal hygiene--and wear deodorant. All of these tips sound like common knowledge, and common sense, for the work world. You'd think everyone would know how to present themselves in an office. Even if the ...

Technology and Human Resources: A Cautionary Tale

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

I've been to, roughly, a gazillion concerts. I've crowd surfed. I've sang along until I was hoarse. I've paid $9 for Bud Light (Bud "Flavored Water" Light!). See that dot in the very back? That could have been me. Sigh. So, you can imagine my delight when, Saturday, I got an e-mail alert on ...

Would you hire someone willing to relocate?

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

We've all dreamed of landing that magical job in Paris. Or Hawaii. Or New Jersey. (Don't judge me.) Just picking up from the current drudgery and leaving for some fantastic opportunity.

Should you go to an interview when you’re sick?

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

It never fails. I could be in perfect health: bundling up like an Eskimo, using anti-bacterial lotion with a vengeance, popping Vitamin C capsules as if they were M&Ms. Doesn't matter. If it's a weekend where I have plans I'm looking forward to, that Saturday I'll wake up with a sore throat ...

When Hiring, Beware the “Avatar” Syndrome

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Happy New Year, everyone! I was lucky enough to have the previous week off. And, though I didn't go anywhere warm, I did manage to watch a ton of so-terrible-yet-I-can't-turn-away TV (Jersey Shore, anyone?), do possibly permanent damage to my diet, and see a few movies. Such as the much-buzzed about ...

Would you hire “Yankees”?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

...And the Yankees win! You know what this means? Six months without baseball! Woohoo! (Until, of course, the highlight reel of the season is delivered to my door, as my boyfriend likes to remind me.) All joking aside, it's pretty awesome that the Yankees won--27 World Series! What an amazing feat. Can you ...
