Does Testing Work?
Employment testing has been used by employers for pre-employment testing for at least 50 years. Skills assessments, cognitive, personality, psychometric and job performance testing is a huge industry generating close to one billion dollars in North America.

If you think you know it all, that way of being could also contribute to the downfall of your chosen career path.

Small Talk
If you struggle to engage in small-talk communication then this content is for you.
When something does not come naturally, it is an uphill challenge. Challenges are called challenges, as they take hard work to maneuver through.

IDENTITY THEFT – Beware of Online Con Artists Creeping Around
Years ago, the guys that were called gangsters would plan their crime, do their thing and create havoc that often would take authorities years to track down.

The differences between being a victim of a workplace abuser or a bully is negligent. Either or both are very bad. The two bad behaviours merge together with minimal difference. If any of the following is happening to you or someone you know, you are not alone.

What is a Day Planner?
Why should I use one?
Some of us myself included, remember when we went on the annual day planner purchase. For many years around November, I and most everyone I know that has been working for 20+ years would order their new annual paper-based, book bound, day planner. Today our calendars and schedules are digital and many feel more efficient but digital scheduling and calendar management solutions have proven to have its own challenges.

Do You Have a Communication filter or is your boss lacking the filter?
Have you ever worked with someone that does not think before they speak? Like your parents or grandparents always said, it seems that they forgot to count to 10 before speaking. If you visualize a waterfall of words that just spew out of someone’s mouth, that is not appropriate for the situation, uncalled for or just downright rude, that would be an individual without a communication filter.
