“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step” – Lao-tsu There is always lots of debate about what percentage of jobs are filled by recruiters versus through someone you know. For me, almost every job I’ve had (and I’ve had lots), was through a recruiter with the exception of one. On the flip [...] “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle Few fields impact as many people as Education. We all remember our first day of school, our High School Prom and our College days and, for some of us, getting sent to the Principal’s Office. Tough times [...] “Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” – Bo Derek One of the first part-time jobs I had when I was in college was in Retail. Granted, it was working as a cashier in a (now bankrupt) department store. It’s where I got my first taste of “working with the public” [...] “A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.” – Carlos Castaneda At my last company, we had an “unspoken rule” that you were expected to move within the organization every [...] “Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you’re alive it isn’t.” – Richard Bach I don’t know if this happens to you, but sometimes I get calls from recruiters asking if I know someone with specific job experience.

So exactly what is “underemployed”? Well, there are several definitions like – “Not fully or adequately used or employed”. In this case I am referring to either those who have a [...] “Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark.” – Yogi Berra This is the time of year when your local radio station starts the countdown of the top 500 hits of the decade ending with the number one hit on New Year’s Day. Lots of parties, lots of food, a clean slate and lots of hope for a [...] “I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six.
