I just spent the last 5 hours on a plane from Hawaii sitting next to a former human resources administrator (by the way she was hot) who had these excellent interview tips to share.
Think about the most successful person you know. Now think about what makes that person so successful.
Chances are they have found something they are extremely good at and have exploited it to the nth degree. Tiger Woods, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Tom Hanks and Warren Buffet are all names that come to mind. These individuals all have truly found what they are good at and have gone to great lengths to hone their skills.
How does one know what they are good at in the first place? Dumb question you say? Well not everyone reading this is like that guy who knew in 5th grade that he wanted to fly aircrafts all his life. It just doesn’t turn out that way for most people.
Finding out what you are good at doesn’t have to be that difficult though. Sure you can take an online aptitude test, but those are boring. Ride with me, let’s just go find it.
Since the dawn of mankind, men and women have boggled their minds trying to understand one another. Moreover, men have struggled to figure out what it takes to make the women in their lives happy.
Honestly guys, while women can be very complex, most don’t require much to keep them happy. I asked both single and attached women alike, “What does it take to keep you happy in a relationship?” In no particular order, here’s how they answered in the form of ten helpful tips.
Let’s face it, first dates are tough. After you’ve finally figured out where you’re going to take her, what you’re going to wear, and what cologne to put on, you still have one tall order to fill: What are you going to talk about? This is where many women say most men come up short.
We asked 35 real women to tell us what men should know about conversation on a first date. This is what they said.
I’ve been fortunate to work at many different types of companies: a mom-and-pop business, a start-up, a mid-size company, a Fortune 500 company, and also my own small business. Regardless of where I worked, one constant remained the same—you must play office politics to succeed.
Office politics is such a dirty term you say? You may think no way not for me, I’m above that tomfoolery stuff. The reality is you’ll have to start playing at some point because everyone is playing this game whether they know it or not.
And if you think about it long enough, playing office politics is just like any other game. Matter of fact, it’s sort of like basketball. There is a general manager (your boss’ boss), a coach (your boss), players (you and your co-workers), and even bench warmers (those who think they are above the game and don’t get to play because they suck).
And with that, let’s go over some of the fundamentals. Grab your mouth piece, lace em up and get ready for the jump ball.
The gym represents so many things to different people. For some, it is a safe haven after a taxing day at work. For others, it is a glorified happy hour to pick up dimes (chicks). But for most, the gym is an ally to fight that never ending war: “The Battle of the Bulge.”
Whether you’re a weekend warrior at Average Joe’s Gym or a meat-headed freak from Globo Gym, there are a few rules of etiquette to follow so you don’t end up being “that guy.”

One thing I’ve learned about working at a design and consulting firm is I’m never short of interesting projects to work on—whether we’re redesigning condiment packets, or designing a safer work flow for the operating room, or making electronic devices easier to interact with—I get the opportunity to work on a wide range of design projects.
So how can one consistently produce innovative and meaningful solutions to various and sometimes seemingly random design challenges? There’s definitely a process we use, and I’ve broken them down to 3 simple steps you can start using. [Read more]

As we all say hello to the new year, we all have goals and resolutions to look forward to. Whether it be weight loss, a new job or a raise in salary, I’m never opposed to someone expanding their horizons in some way. Being the advocate that I am, I’m always willing to introduce people into the world of wine. I’m still perturbed that most Americans don’t share the same enthusiasm about wine the rest of the world does. Maybe it has to do with a “high-class only” perception that wine yielded for so many decades. Wine was seen mostly as a luxury item, but those days are long gone. It is widely available, and quite inexpensive in some cases. [Read more]
