Exclusive talk with an executive search partner on interview tips

I just had an exclusive interview with Tom Budinger, Partner of The Curran Group. He gave excellent tips on how to prepare for a job interview, what he's looking for as a recruiter. He says the job market isn't as gloomy as the media suggests although he admits it is more competitive than a year ago.

He listed many qualities which he says can only be found in 20% of candidates. The number one quality he looks for is passion for the business - and it is something easy for him to spot just by asking one question.

Don't Go Bonkers

I came across a shocking video just posted on YouTube two days ago, showing how an office worker exploding from work stress. I know many of us here work extremely long hours. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I also think that “stress relief” is such a “meh” subject for many of us still.

I hope this video would hit you in the head (pun intended) if you’re not already actively doing something about your stress.

Let me warn you though, some of you may find this video disturbing (myself included).

I wouldn’t want any of us here go bonkers.
