I’m Mad As Hell and I’m Not Going to Take It Anymore!
The rise in the unemployment rate last month to 9.2 percent has Democrats and Republicans reliably falling back on their respective cure-alls. It is evidence for liberals that we need more stimulus and for conservatives that we need more tax cuts to increase demand. I am sure there is truth in both, but I do not believe they are the whole story. I think something else, something new — something that will require our kids not so much to find their next job as to invent their next job — is also influencing today’s job market more than people realize.

Tavis Smiley: If At First You Don’t Succeed, ‘Fail Up’
If you want to learn about success, talk to a successful person. If you want to learn about failure, talk to a very successful person. In his new book Fail Up, TV and radio host Tavis Smiley offers lessons on how to turn life’s setbacks into success.
2011 marks Smiley’s 20th year in broadcast — and that anniversary got him thinking: “The way I arrived at this place [of success] was failing my way — all the way,” he says. The book is sort of a Top 20 Worst-Of list: It details the 20 biggest mistakes of Smiley’s life.
Some of these mistakes were news even to Smiley’s close family. Before the Fail Up manuscript arrived at his parents’ house, Smiley called home to tell his mother and father they were about to read things they’d never heard before. Smiley was the first person in his family to go to college — but when he marched across the stage at Indiana University to get his diploma, he hadn’t really graduated. It technically took Smiley 16 years to get his degree; during college, he had been arrested and sent to jail for check fraud. “I couldn’t bring myself to tell my parents that I’d gone to jail while I was in college,” he says. “[Or] that I didn’t have a college degree.”

A Twitter Response: Interview Horror Stories
I had approximately 10 years of MarCom experience and had replied to an ad in the paper. I was called and asked to meet for an interview with one of 3 partners that owned the Portland, OR Public Relations-Marketing firm. I was really excited because the job was a great fit, close to my home and in my field.
I had been requested to meet at a local restaurant for breakfast. I was there early and he showed up about 20 minutes late, so my nerves were already frazzled. He looks right at me and says, “Oh this is never going to work out! You look just like my ex-wife.” So do I stay for breakfast knowing I am totally deflated and there is no hope…. I decide to stay and work at getting 3 contacts from him. No such luck! He was arrogant throughout the meal, not helpful, and never even looked at my resume or experience to discuss. Every time I drive past their offices, I shudder!
