Hey Team,
Here’s a quick update on the lack of updates over here. A much larger variety of opportunities presented themselves as a result of this whole Greatest Employee in the World experiment than I would have expected. Instead of just a bunch of fun public job offers that would have fed into the contest, I [...]

Hey Team,
Ever think to yourself, “Wow, that banker is SUPER attractive. Man, oh man does she look good in that pencil skirt. What I wouldn’t give to see her…fired!”
Yeah, me neither. But I guess that’s not really the point.
“What IS the point?” you ask. Well, first of all, let me just thank you for asking [...]

Hey Team,
I was looking for an article that ran strongly counter to my thoughts on job hunting, so I could get more than one viewpoint up on the site, when I thought I found the perfect candidate, titled: Stop Being Creative in Your Job Search.
Sadly, I was completely disappointed before I even finished reading the [...]

Hey Team,
This is just way too crazy of an article and entirely too fitting of this site not to repost here. I was blow away by the tweet I saw pointing out this story and it just went downhill from there.
Apparently it’s becoming increasingly more common to see job postings that specifically state “Client will [...]

Enjoy.
Brett spends the day at Yellow Dog Signs and Graphics where he learns how to make all manner of signs and closes out the day with a head to head competition, that ends up neck and neck, to see who can make a banner the fastest.

Hey Team,
This story was pretty big last week but I was so busy trying to get Résumé Padding off the ground I didn’t have much of a chance to write about it.
Here’s the deal: clearly I’m not the only one who has come to the realization that, between an economy that’s on suicide watch [...]

FYI: I’m in the middle of playing with blip.tv settings to see if I want them to host Résumé Padding as I move forward so the player below may or may not work properly today. However, if you follow this link you should still be able to check out the teaser! Thanks for being here! [...]

Hey Team,
Are you crazy kids ready for some Résumé Padding? Here’s the deal: In addition to this little GEitW contest that’s rolling out we’re going to start taking things a step further. You know what? That’s just lazy. Why take things a step further when you can take them THREE steps further?!
Good. That’s settled then. [...]

Hey Team,
Andrew Mayne has a great new site up about monetizing internet projects that is a must read. Very well thought out and concisely written, it provides some great insights into specific concepts. And since he recently wrote a post about tipping and donations, which I happen to know a thing or two about after [...]

Hey Team,
I spent the last week trapped in the amazing networking blackhole that is South by Southwest and let it be known: I enjoyed every minute of it.
More importantly, just before I left to fly out to Texas I realized I should be heeding my own advice and using the opportunity to make an impression [...]
