The 12 Rules of ART - Part 3 of 12

Part 3 is about the delicate line between planning and over-planning:

“Winning is Accomplished Equally in the Preparation and Execution Phases” - Dr. Robert Anthony

In my experience, people who fail in our industry either spend all of their time in the preparation phase, developing an overly complex plan they become obsessed with – almost as if it’s a shield to keep them from DOING anything – or they fail to plan anything and produce a… Continue

it's Not You, It's Me

I used to date this guy (who shall remain nameless) who was under the misconception that he could do better than me. This probably comes across as a bit cocky on my part, but allow me to explain.

I was twenty-two and HOT. I had a real job, made lots of money, and had my own place in Virginia Highlands. I drove a new car (thanks, Dad), attended classes, was well-traveled, and fairly knowledgeable about politics and music. I had a nice stereo, a big bed, and I actually liked hanging… Continue

Best way to handle a business that does not pay it's contractors

Not too long ago, I was an independant contractor for a Florida based company. After leaving the company, I was told that I would receive my money in 30 days. Needless to say, I was never paid. Besides filing a complaint with my state labor board, is there anything else I should be doing? I have been trying endlessly to contact this employer and there has been no response. Is a lawyer my only option left?

Have any other contractors out there experienced the same thing and how did you go… Continue

Wednesday Wisdom: Cliff Notes for Candidates

Dear Claudia,

How much is too much when preparing a candidate for interviews?

Curious

Dear Curious,

This is a great question, because it hints at some of the juicy stuff in recruiting closets: the fine line between finding the right person and earning a fee, between making a hire and priming the pump for future turnover. Where does a good recruiter draw the line? And when does coaching a candidate create unfair advantage, or worse yet - a… Continue

Sometimes it's the little things, or How a runaway grape ruined my tea break

So I’m sitting at my desk, drinking my 9:00 a.m. Lady Grey tea, black with one sugar, and munching on some green grapes. This little break is Nancy Nirvana where I enjoy delicious fresh fruit and a wonderful lightly sweetened tea while reading my email digests, checking out recruitingblogs.com, etc. Birds are chirping, the sun is shining – you get the picture.

Delicately picking my gorgeous grapes off the vine and placing them into my bow-shaped mouth (I wish!), one teeny tiny little… Continue
