Today I find myself in a place that I had hoped never to return to, at least not just yet. I now have to apply myself to the recruiting merry-go-round as an applicant. It will be interesting to note if I will see in myself some of the behaviours seen from the other side of the fence. More importantly it will be very interesting to see how…

"Hey, quick question."



I've found that this phrase has become the preface for the majority of questions at work. If you can't answer the question…
