Looking forward to the event!

I tend to accept just about everyone’s LinkedIn request. With that being said… I am quick to remove you as a connection if I end up receiving a bunch of self promoting emails from you. My philosophy is that while I may not know someone personally… LinkedIn can serve as a starting point to build relationships for further communication and…[Read more]

Cory Booker is amazing in some of the things he gets done via Twitter

I think this is the biggest part of this discussion. The systems that are used to pick up on key words are to blame. If you’re not using these “overused” keywords then chances are your profile and resume won’t stand out to right people through search.

Agreed!! Endorsing someone on LinkedIn is becoming just about as valuable as clicking the “like” button on Facebook. I think that’s largely due to the fact that they suggest people to endorse right when you sign on. Hopefully that changes soon.

This year I am going to be doing a little bit of both. I will be traveling, but also doing some work from the road. This way I can enjoy the company of my friends and family while being semi-productive and getting some work done.

Interesting thought. I think though that everything can be measured in some way or another. Employee satisfaction score? Sales numbers? Efficiency? I guess it all depends on what you’re looking to measure. And depending on how much effort you want to put in to things, you could go as far as having an independent auditor measure the results of an…[Read more]

As a relatively new coffee drinker I’m still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. I typically just order a medium (I even call it a medium at Starbucks) throw a little milk in there with two packets of regular sugar. Hazelnut is pretty good, but I don’t usually care for the flavored types of coffee.
