Skip Level Meetings – Updated Advice!

The Skip Level Advice video that I published two years ago became very popular! I really appreciate the audience feedback and engagement. However, over the last two years there are some elements of the video that I felt needed correction and additional context.

Part of that new content is an easy template to help organize updates for senior executives that I am happy to share with you.

If you like these Rethinking Data concepts, you can book your own class at Avail Advisors.

FYI – I am not affiliated with Avail (nor am I getting paid to mention them) but I was a student and the class was really good!

Internships Are Critical for Finding Full Time Jobs

College students are heading back to campus for a new school year. They are thinking about dorms, classes, and their friends. They should also be thinking about securing an internship.

Now is the time to start prepping.

Internships give experience, create networking opportunities, and they help kids determine if they even like the job.

Do Recruiters Judge Your Email Address?

For those that have been on the internet since the early 90’s, it is safe to assume that you amassed several email addresses from the service providers that sprung to life during the internet’s infancy.

AOL. Hotmail. Live.com are just a few.

If you continue to use these older email services, will it reflect poorly on you? Does it say something about your ability to change and adapt or embrace newer technologies?

This video ponders this idea and provides some suggestions to move ahead and was inspired by a Lifehacker.com article by Jeff Somers that can be read here.
