“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” – Friedrich Nietzsche Have you ever seen someone’s career take a really bad turn for the worse? Not by imploding (you know, committing a crime or something stupid like that), but things suddenly not going well. Missed deadlines or responsibilities that are not met. This may [...] “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle You know what they say “you don’t know what you don’t know”. With the vast wealth of information on the Internet, it is virtually impossible to cover any one topic from beginning to end with all of the [...] “The superior man is modest in his speech, but excels in his actions.” – Confucius You know the old saying – “the only thing that is constant is change” and that is exactly what the Internet is all about. Job search is no different, and the Internet helps fuel this change. It is almost the [...] “You must do the thing you think you cannot do” – Eleanor Roosevelt The job market in New York is heating up, with the big financial institutions leading from the front (okay, not all of them).

I remember one of my early jobs working on the trading [...] “When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‘I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,’ you just scream.” – John Lennon When I was growing up I used to go to a pond near my house with my friends to look for tadpoles. It [...] “Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.” – Howard Aiken If you are like most people, the minute you see a great idea you think “now why didn’t I think of that?”. I know that happens with me all of the [...] “Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting someone else to do the work.” – John G. Pollard Timing is everything in life and in business.
