It’s Time to Go On an '’Information Diet”

It’s Time to Go On an '’Information Diet”

In 1826, a guy named Savarin is credited with coin the phrase “you are what you eat.” In 2020, it would perhaps be appropriate to make a slight revision: the modern knowledge worker is a product of the information they consume.  You are a mashup of what you let into your life. The internet produces 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day so focusing on what really matters is critical.

What Beethoven's Deafness Can Teach Us About Staying Productive in a Noisy Age

Could you increase your success by building more silence into your days?

Perhaps somewhere along the way you've heard the story of Beethoven's deafness. From the age of 30, the already hugely accomplished composer began going slowly deaf, until by the age of 45 he was plunged into complete silence and, his biographer reports, a period of despair.

Eventually, though, armed solely with the music in his head, Beethoven was able to write his late career masterworks, including the revolutionary Ninth Symphony.

How to enhance you credibility by always asking this a question during a job interview.

How to enhance you credibility by always asking this a question during a job interview.

Job interviews are not a one-way street.

You are interviewing the company just as much as the company is interviewing you.

Employers Are Changing the Interview Process. What to Know

Employers Are Changing the Interview Process. What to Know

It seems like interviewing and hiring have changed overnight. Employers are now using more AI or artificial intelligence than ever before. The pandemic produced a significant challenge for employers since they could no longer do face-to-face job interviews and they had an increase in applicants' applying for jobs.

These AI changes include:

Interview scheduling, Text interviewing, Phone interview screening, Pre-employment testing and assessment and Video interviewing – on-demand or live

The other influencing factor is the current abundance of job candidates. With so many applying, a company either hires more recruiters or adds in AI assistance. Here’s what you should expect if you are in the job search hiring process in 2021.

Why you need to know what you want

Why you need to know what you want

This is a fundamental irony of most people's lives. They don't know what they want to do with their lives. Yet they are very active.

Most kids go to college without a clue why they are there. They are floating along waiting to be told what to do next. They haven't seen or thought enough to know what their ideal life would look like. So how could they possibly know how to distinguish good advice from bad?
