Why Bad Networking Has Everyone Peeved
Why Bad Networking Has Everyone Peeved By Douglas B. Richardson Networker: "Mr. Roper? You don't know me, but I got your name from..." Mr. Roper: "Oh, man, this isn't one of those networking calls, is it?" Networker: [Pause. Sound of wheels frantically turning.] "Oh, ah, hey, no way. I hate those kinds of calls. I was just calling to see if I might call on you and maybe get your thoughts about the viability of a new broadband enterprise we're planning." Mr. Roper: "No problem, but I'm busy until later this week. Any chance you could drop by on Friday morning?" This actual phone conversation is evidence that, although the technique of networking remains a highly effective job-search and self-marketing tool, the word "networking" repels many people.

ADA Amendments Act
The ADA has been around for over a decade and has seen its share of court cases. Some of the more prominent cases – those that help define "disability" – were recently tossed out by the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA).

Boss is calling – Understanding the Psychology of Bossism
Believe it or not; accept it or not but in the corporate world, everyone has at least one person that he or she is accountable to or that he or she is reporting to until and unless the person is an owner of the company (in case of private limited company). In case of public limited company, the CEOs and the Managing Directors are answerable to the Board of Directors. Hence, always remember that even your boss is having a boss. No one has been spared. The way you are analyzing your boss in the scale of good, bad or horrible, be sure that even your boss is analyzing his or her boss.
