Welcome to the Daily Roundup. Each day at the ThinkTalk Blog we will post some links that we find informative, interesting, or just plain funny. The goal is to let you know what else is going on out there, and ultimately help you with the development of your career.
Happy Friday to everyone. I am on the road today facing a fussy computer and limited internet connection. But in an appropriate twist, I am in fact blogging in my parent’s home (albeit not in their basement, nor in my pajamas).
With all apologies an abbreviated (but important nonetheless) edition of The Links . . .
George’s Employment Blawg Summarizes:
All the salient points of the Fair Pay Act that was signed by President Obama yesterday. I touched on this a little the other day, but this a good comprehension of what this Act will mean.
The Career Doctor Describes:
How to determine the corporate culture of a potential employer during an interview. Behold, the power of observation. The Doc says to observe “all the employees while at the interview — what they wear, how they relate to each other, what their office space looks like.†Just beware of signs like this.
At The Brazen Careerist Ashley Mittman Advises:
How to relieve stress at work. “I’ve always been a calm, quiet person, and when I’m stressed, I don’t typically run around flailing my arms, yelling obscenities and sweating from head to toe.†Well that’s a disappointment. What’s the point in getting stressed if you can’t run around screaming obscenities? #@%*&!
Career Alley Explains:
How to handle a job offer. “You need to know both, what you are worth in the current job market (please see my post Are you paid what you’re worth?) as well as your “bottom line†(defined as the lowest salary, benefits and other perks at which you would accept an offer and not feel as if you are under selling yourself).†Then and only then, should you accept the offer. And you know what that means.
