BusinessA resume and an interview tell you what someone says they can do. Neither one tells you what they can do. I found that out as a new manager with a vice president title and no interview training, on a…
BusinessBefore you commission a technical assessment, find out what decision it is going to be used in. Honest engineers doing honest work can still produce a report that exists to strengthen somebody's position in a negotiation, and the outcome will…
