In the business world, the purpose of the resume is to get you an interview. I've been reading a lot of resumes lately as I evaluate candidates for resource requests from my clients. Let me start with something basic: there should be ZERO mistakes/typos on your resume. You should have...

As I am finally able to tame the inbox for the client that I switched from part-time to full-time, I noticed some strange habits. Time for a rant about people's use and misuse of Outlook.

Read Receipts
Why does anyone choose to send a read receipt with an email? Anytime I get...

"I was on a timetable because the maid was coming and I had a clogged toilet that overflowed everywhere."
