Hub You - Can I Ask That Question in a Job Interview?
We are all influenced by brands and I can prove it to you.When you by detergent to do your laundry, I bet you don’t read the list of chemicals from one brand, compare it with three others and say, “Hmm. The combination of these in this brand will probably be far superior to the combination in these other three.” You never say that, do you?Instead you assume they’ll all do the same job and buy one as opposed to another because it’s on sale, you have a coupon, or has no scent or maybe your wife, husband or mother specified what they wanted. You do anything other than figure out which will actually make your laundry cleaner.
I said, "Yes."
She said, "No, I don't."
It was then that my intuition clicked into high gear. Still, because she had already accepted the position, I backed off from questioning her further. However, my thoughts were something like this: Did
Some people believe that they are in a dead end job. This is rather ironic actually because there is no such thing as a dead end job nevertheless their friends, family or even their own negative biofeedback has convinced them that they are in a dead end job.Why do I state that there are no dead in the jobs? Because there are not; in fact many people in many large corporations started out in the mailroom. I remember I started out washing other peoples aircraft and detailing their cars.Yet I am not alone, in fact did you know that the CEO and CFO of Enterprise Rent-A-Car both started out washing cars at the enterprise Rent-A-
I recently heard on the radio that a friend of mine resigned her position as president of one of the largest women's organizations in the U.S, citing "irreconcilable differences." When I heard the news, my thoughts went immediately to the day when she told me she accepted the position.
A few years ago, we were at the health club where we both worked out. She told me she accepted the position and that she would be moving to Washington D.C. shortly. Since I was familiar with the organization since the early 1980's, I knew that the original president had only stepped aside less than a year before, and another president was named at that time. I thought to myself that the new president's departure seemed so soon.
After congratulating her, I asked, "Do you know why the previous president left the organization?"
She replied, "Jane Doe?" (Right...not her real name!)
I said, "Yes."
She said, "No, I don't."

There are many components of a brand identity: logo, color palette, font choice, and the Visual Vocabulary. There’s a lot of information available about the use of logos, colors, and Visual Vocabulary, but not much on the effective use of fonts. So, here’s some information on the creative, practical, and technical aspects of fonts.Font basicsA font is a set of all the letters in the alphabet, designed with similar characteristics. This is also known as a typeface.Fonts are usually designed to include several style variations. This can include styles like light, regular, bold, semibold, ultra bold, and

RFID labels, I hear the term but what does it mean and should I be thinking of using it for my business? RFID is a radio frequency identification . Every product is identified somehow. A sign, a label, a barcode label and an RFID label are all different ways to identify product. Which one should I chose? If I own a lemonade stand chances are I'll make a sign to describe what's in the pitcher. If I manufacture gum, chances are that my label will have words to tell the consumer what it is, and a bar code for the cash register scanner to identify the product and price. RFID uses radio frequencies to transmit data to a reader which captures th

Your interview date is set and you are feeling very optimistic. You’ve thought what you're going to say and you are feeling all prepared. You are confident that you will get the job without too much bother. You know what you need to ask them and how you are going to impress them with your knowledge and skills. Now before you go any further ask yourself these questions about how you will appear.Should I wear a Suit? It's a good idea to wear a suit for a job interview unless you know that the firm has a casual policy. If you do wear a suit go with something simple, in a neutral colour. The more conservative your field is,

I did not make up the annual income figure in the headline.That is the mean annual salary earned by technical communicators across the United States in 2005 according to the “2005 Technical Communicator Salary Survey” conducted by Society for Technical Communication of which I'm a proud Senior Member.The lowest paid entry-level tech writers made $40,730 and those writers in the supervisory senior-levels made as much as $111,100 in 2005.Not bad considering the image of a “starving artist” that the word “writer” conjures up in popular imagination -- and

It was then that my intuition clicked into high gear. Still, because she had already accepted the position, I backed off from questioning her further. However, my thoughts were something like this: Did the previous president leave because the responsibilities of the position, combined with her personal responsibilities, were too much? Did her husband's employer transfer his job to another part of the country? Or did Jane Doe leave the position because she and the board of directors could not work something out between them?
I also remember thinking that, if I was offered that position, I would want to ask each of my interviewers, in person, why the previous president left. First, I would want to see his or her facial expression and body language while answering the question. Second, I would want to "file in my mind" their answers and ponder their responses for a few days.
My hunch was that the previous president left because of a serious problem or issue that could not be worked out.
Since the timing of my friend's departure from the organization was during an election year, which is critical for this organization, I knew that she didn't resign lightly. This organi- zation has an executive di
