It's hard with the prolific amount of online resumes, and if you want a recruiter to take notice of you, you've got to have your online resume have that special something that makes it stand out. Usually recruiters take about six seconds to scan a resume; you want yours to pass the…

"The most dangerous phrase in the language is, "we've always done it this way."

So said computer scientist and United States Navy officer, Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper.

I find data to be a bit of a gateway drug.   You get a taste of it and you go deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole finding both answers to your original questions and finding new questions you didn’t realize you needed resolution for as well.  As I am retiring for the day, I can frequently find myself disappearing into Wikipedia for hours at a time as one question leads to…

Its 9:15 PM where am I? about to start a 4km run on my treadmill. When most people are winding down, watching TV, sipping a glass of vino perhaps, I'm running....and thinking. The parallels of trying to lose weight and job search amaze me. Why on earth would I push myself to cram in a 4km run at bed time? Because the rewards of losing a few inches are well worth the effort…

When there’s an empty seat, the work must either be redistributed or left undone, resulting in stress, costs, delays, and lost opportunity, as well as lower revenue.

What’s more, hiring to fill empty seats can take weeks or months, adding strain and extra costs.

This is why I’ve launched a new LinkedIn Group, called …

The fear of speaking in public is one of the most common phobias that most people possess. This inferiority often starts in childhood and unfortunately is often neglected which is why it still exists even in adulthood.

Most parents would deal with this by enrolling their kids in speech classes. However, the interaction level in these kinds of classes is limited, unlike public speaking Singapore classes. Public speaking…

The HR department is no longer the silent silo that it once was. HR professionals aren’t seen as the paper pushers down the hall; their roles are diversifying and they are taking on responsibilities that weren’t part of traditional HR job requirements just 5 years ago. The fact is they just can’t do it alone. There is obviously efficiency through specialization, but…
