After asking real recruiters to submit their funniest and most appalling interview response stories, Linked In recently created a video re-enacting some of the worst interview responses of all time. 

For Recruiters, HR Professionals and and the Staffing industry, these are par for the course...some candidates just do...

Happy Back to School! …backpacks, freshly sharpened pencils, lunch boxes. Why do kids get all the fun? I don’t know about you, but I kinda miss the excitement of back to school…

Since I recently learned that September is National Self Improvement month, I decided that’s a chance for us adults to get in on the action. Is there something you want to...

In a recent post by Lisa Calhoun on Inc. she listed out 30 surprising facts about female entrepreneurs. Reading through this list was affirming, inspiring, surprising and, you guessed it, frustrating. Let me give you some examples:

Let me introduce you to the new Woman in Tech. She never thought she’d be here. She doesn’t think of herself as technical. When her friends from college look at her cross-eyed and say, “I didn’t know you were into computers.” She says she isn’t. She doesn’t know how to code.

That’s because the high tech industry needs people to help their business run, not just create their product or ser...

I’ve been thinking a lot about where Bite Size Learning is going over the past few weeks. Over the past few days I’ve been struck by a few different sentiments that have propelled me forward. In the spirit of the sharing economy I’d like to offer them up here for others. Think of it as some curated content for the frustrated entrepreneur...

I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly learning. I get excited about researching new strategies, technologies, techniques and industries. I try to learn something new every day. Some days I succeed, other days…not so much. 

After leaving college, I threw myself into my career. I paid attention to those around me who were successful, I tried out new...
