Do you have a job interview coming up that you’re worried about?

Well it’s 2013 and that time of year when many a resolution has been made.
And we all know what happens to most of those!
So I’m thinking it might be more appropriate for me to offer up some “New Years Suggestions” instead. That way you won’t feel the pressure of obligation and can pick and chose from the handy hints of those that are far wiser than I.
David Di Salvo gets the ball rolling with Smart Things I’ve Learnt from People who Never Went to College. And there really is some very smart stuff here. My favourite smart tip has to be “if you can’t give back more than you got then you are relationship handicapped.” [click to continue…]
