I thought I'd post a great infograph from Undercover Recruiter about the logic behind some of the most popular interview questions. The infograph includes 19 common interview questions and their meanings. The 19 questions are broke up into three 'areas' of questions: If you can do the job Why you want the job If you will fit into the organization That's enough from me though, check out the infograph below!
I can't remember for the life of me where I saw this but I thought it was clever. Take a look below for some well-placed advertisements getting to their competitors!
I love watching interviews with successful business men and the history of their business. I think it's because they give you a 'hindsight is 20/20' perspective on a business and their failures and successes. If you don't want to make the same mistakes in your business, then you should investigate someone who might have already made them...and made it through to the other side! It's like getting sage-like advice from a mentor that can be invaluable. I started a music blog over a year ago where I interview bands that have been broken up for years. It's great to [...]
This one's a kinda of weird "Marketing Gold" but I thought it was interesting non-the-less. I was browsing through BuzzFeed when an article came up called "One Of The Biggest Con Jobs In Advertising History, Part 2" It involves advertisements for Sugar in the 60's and 70's, some of which are just amazing that people believed. I've included some of my 'favorite' ads below, but be sure to check out Buzzfeed for all 12 of them: You can check out "One Of The Biggest Con Jobs In Advertising History, Part 1" which tackles "Lysol" when it was a feminine [...]
In what seems like ages ago I posted an article titled "What Colors In Your Logo Mean..." It was a fun little article talking about your "color mission statement" and other tips and tricks if you're looking to re-invent yourself and your business (and logo.) Today I was browsing 9gag and I found a little picture that can help bring a little more depth to the issue. Take a look at the picture below to get the 'full picture.' If it's something you've seen before...well, consider it a refresher course!
I don't know about you but I get reeeaaal confused when it comes to shipping stuff. Daily Infographic posted a handy little infograph to help you choose the correct shipping method! Check it out below.
I came across an article from webdesignerdepot.com titled “6 steps to charging what you’re really worth.” I really related to the article because I have come to similar conclusions about what I’m worth and how to conduct myself in a business environment. While the article does a great job describing each of the six points, I decided not to read them (until I finished writing this article) and give my own perspective of the six steps. So, make sure you go back and read what they have to say too! Here’s the six steps that they go through: [...]
I'm pretty much the worst at making decisions. The problem is most of the time it's not about important things. It's about what movie to watch or what to have for dinner. Ultimately, I feel like most of the time it's because I fear that I am not utilizing my time (or money) in the best manner possible. If I pick a crappy movie, then I feel like I've just wasted 2 hours of my life. If I'm not satisfied with my dinner choice then I've just wasted money on a meal that didn't make me happy. Sometimes I'm [...]
Daily Infographic had a great post (read: infograph) about what kind of music you should listen to while you work. Check it out!
Penguin 2.0 is Google's new algorithm for delivering search results. It delivers a bunch of updates to how Google ranks websites on the world-wide web. The funny thing is that the Penguin 2.0 update is utilizing things that I've been talking about for a while. The first time we talked about being sincere with your online presence. Then I showed you some important stats about the benefits of blogging. Then we talked about the importance of local businesses who blog. Heck! I even gave you some tips & inspiration for posting to your website. So what I'm going to do in this article is go over my philosophy of SEO, [...]
Well, they are finally here. I gave a sneak-listen on Facebook a few weeks for a series of radio commercials we put together for WRNJ Radio titled "Famous Last Words." I decided to post them all on our YouTube page just in case you wanted to listen to all the commercials. Hope you enjoy em!
I almost titled this article, "The Most Successful Business Doesn't Mean The Best Business (At Least To Me)" but then I decided to take a little different approach. I've been thinking a lot lately about my motivations and what exactly motivates me. I usually, to a fault, try to funnel down my own personality so that I know how to deal with myself, business and life (in general) better. Sometimes I think I think too much! While I was thinking about my motivations in business I started thinking about how I get freaked out when I see a badly run [...]
