Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath.” – Michael Caine When and how to use a headhunter are common questions and good ones to ask early in your career. Before we can talk about when and how to use a headhunter, it is important to understand what are [...] “When the truth is found to be lies” – “Somebody to Love”, performed by Jefferson Airplane (written by Darby Slick) Very tough times at work lately. So, in order to put some hope in my day, I went off and purchased a lottery ticket. I’m not sure about you, but for me buying a lottery [...] “Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.” – Jim Carrey A coworker of mine is a “starving” musician.
