Sheding New Light on Office Politics
The mere mention of office politics makes me want to cringe. This is probably because I have never been politically motivated nor have I ever taken advantage of a co-worker to advance my career. Those who know me will tell you that I am a tell-it-like-it is kind of guy. And, I simply refuse to play the game to get ahead. That is probably why I am blogger/science writer and not a vice president or CEO of some company. Nevertheless, for those of you who are ambitious and driven, you will need to learn to successfully manage workplace politics because--you don't--you may wind up like me (not that there is anything wrong with that).
I came across a fascinating article entitled "The Win-Win Way to Play Office Politics" that I think sheds new light on the often vilified practice of office politics. Read it--you may learn a thing or two!
Until next time...
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting!!!!!!!!!!!

As we all know (or should by now) the face-to-face interview is the most important part of any job search. I and others have lectured and written exhaustively on appropriate interviewing behaviors and the requisite skills that must be developed to become a successful interviewee. However, it is important to point out that you are not the only person in the room during an interview—let’s not forget about the interviewer! To that end, little has been written about the types of interviewers that a job candidate may encounter during the face-to-face. As somebody once advised me, knowing your “enemy” can go a long way to insure success.
