Career Life: Links and Love
April 30, 2012
Paranoid Asteroid sat on the interviewing panel for her coworker’s replacement and noted some of the same things. One of her examples that I didn’t note:
My “favorite” applicant so far has been the one who emailed D, saying, “I don’t know much about [our company, our business, and our project], but I figured I’d throw my hat into the ring.”
That’s another thing I found incredibly annoying from the perspective of having to sift through multiple resumes and applicants who really aren’t serious about the job. And those who are internally thinking that but don’t show it until they hit the interviewing room and waste all that time.
Thanks to Savvy Working Gal for a lovely bird’s eye view and breakdown of my recent promotion and the things I did to achieve it in How to Get a Promotion? She includes some great links for further reading.
eemusings asks what your job means, and suggests how to get your mojo back if you’ve felt off your game lately. No kidding, I’ve had more of those then not but frankly, I’ve just done a halfway decent job of hiding it except from the person I needed support from. That person just happened to see through my facade really easily.
Janelle’s house is stunning!
Also, two links. You’re too generous.
Those are great links! I have checked Savvy working gal’s post and she gave helpful advices. Janelle’s home is beautiful.
Savvy Working gal’s post was extremely helpful and Janelle’s home is like the home I’ve always dreamed of having! It must be wonderful to come home from work to such a lovely environment! Thanks for sharing these links! 🙂
