Too many interviewers think their job is to look smart.
The job of the interviewer is to create an environment in which the subject of the interview is as open, animated and coherent as possible. If jumping on a couch and behaving like an orangutan (with a hat tip to Tom Cruise) is what it takes […]
It’s such a simple service, but the usefulness of Twitter confounds many observers and participants.
It’s easy to mock Twitter for the trivial content that gets posted by different people.
When I have time at home, I tend to put Twitter in a small Window, (using Twhirl), and it checks for new updates every 3-4 minutes.

Geoff Livingston sums up the need for companies to abandon their old command and control methods of marketing and message management.
“The way we react to social media’s impact is by moving away from message control, and getting back to creating value for the community served by the newspaper (or TV stations, or …).”

I tend not to criticize enthusiasts and optomists. I think the world needs as much optimism and positive energy as possible.
So it was not without reservations that I cranked out my rant about the paid editorial content that for 10 recent Jaffe Juice episodes have been a sizeable part of Joseph Jaffe’s exploration of “new […]
Having kids can interfere with some career plans, but we also get a lot back. Not the least of which is a new perspective on our lives and careers.

A polarized discussion has been taking place about Twitter user Ariel Waldman, who went public about a harassment complaint she says wasn’t handled properly.
One one side, you have Twitter employees and some of their supporters, who suggest the affair was overblown, and people were incited to swarm Twitter like a mob.
On the other side, Waldman, […]
There’s a reason politicians spend many hours being trained to juggle issues and spout statements that won’t blow up in their faces.
Apparently, Hillary Clinton’s vow to “obliterate” Iran if it attacked Israel wasn’t a slip of the tongue. Now she’s suggesting (ABC News) a potential assassination of presidential nomination opponent Barack Obama is a good […]
