Well that...was a pretty useful article. Good advice and spot on. Basically observe the the denizens and their interactions with each other and the environment. The only thing I've got to add is that you would want to keep this up as you move throughout the facility whether from interviewer to interviewer or to the…

Right on. We do team interviewing both individually and in group as appropriate. In all cases, we've found that it's essential to have all participants submit their assessments prior to meeting together afterwards to debrief. As Daniel Kahneman advises, this is an important step in avoiding groupthink.

I've seen that as well. Nowadays, I would follow that up by asking how they'd go about this and where/what resources they use. If the words "Wikipedia" or "Google" come up primary sources, I'd be a little concerned. Especially in technology, familiarity with a few field-specific resources is important.

I am a hiring manager in the technical/engineering field and I have found that the more you can get interviewees to process, the better the quality of the insights you can draw from their responses. The primary value being a look into their ability to reflect, to deal with developing situations, and to respond with…

I have the exact same Plugable unit as in your picture and I've been very pleased with it. Mine sits on my desk and the lateral sockets are for devices such as printers, scanner, and HDD that are rarely unplugged. The flip up ports are amazingly handy for USB sticks that come and go frequently. It's a nice feature…

Oh, and exercise a bit if you can motivate. Thirty minutes on an elliptical in the fitness room can absolutely do you wonders for energy level and hunger deferral.

Some useful tips there for me to keep in mind as I travel extensively throughout the year but typically never more than 2-3 days in a location

Thank you for this. Exactly the problem I had.

Hmm, if this app is offering punishment as well as reward, wouldn't it have been more appropriate to call it "Carrot-n-Stick?"

Indeed. This hack is borderline absurd and actually made me think of those nonsensical Japanese inventions, chingdogu. Like the shoes with umbrellas on them or the chopsticks with a battery-operated ramen-cooling fan. At the very least, it runs counter to the life hacking ethic by taking something simply done and…

I voted for Whitelines for one simple reason: The reverse contrast of the white ruling or grids against the darker negative space puts your work front and center. Aesthetically, it allows the beauty and character of your line, whether sketched or written, to come through with the utmost purity. I also appreciate that…

Aaaaaaand there goes the last thing about business travel that made it even barely tolerable. I don't begrudge anyone's desire to avoid the full-on security check, it can truly be a demoralizing and frustrating experience. But as a frequent flyer for work to the tune of upwards of 70 flights a year now, I've seen the…

I'd consider myself and my family just a bit more committed than the "average Mac user" (whatever that means, I'm assuming in the pejorative) and price is definitely an issue. It's always been and especially so in this day and age. We just assign it a different priority relative to other features and characteristics…

This is the key variable that you've gotta take into account: some measure of consumption/drain rate. Some low-drain AA devices such as remotes and keyboards will take several months, maybe a year or more to exhaust their batteries. The longer the time it takes to exhaust, the less favorable the case for switching to…

It'll certainly add some salt to your seafood. However, I've found that I use less seasoning after cooking with salt-containing condiments. Who knows, it might well turn out a wash.

I agree with VanMan. If the company lacks the basics such as respect and appreciation for the employees and a reasonable portfolio of standard benefits (affordable healthcare, humane vacation and leave policy) then all the rest is nothing more than window dressing. Think about it, if you're working someplace where you…

The single most informative and valuable site I've found for researching movers is www.movingscam.com. It is more comprehensive and more critical than any generic "reviews" type site. We did our due diligence and hired Bayshore to do our whole house, work-related move across 3 states and could not have been more…

A hundred times, this.

Totally agree. I read the most helpful and most critical reviews first. I discard all the one-star ratings for operator failure ("even though product said it wouldn't do X, it should do X so you suck") and immediate/unintentional product failures ("broke soon as I got it," "UPS guy drove over the box backing out of my…

Makes good sense. It's generally when the plane is in near proximity to either the ground or other planes that risk is the greatest. Even if the engines cut out at altitude, the pilot could probably glide it with minimal destruction, assuming there is something reasonable to land in or on.
