Resistance is futile: Attraction

Since it is Valentine’s Day, I thought it would make a bit more sense to talk about “attraction” today than “resistance.” Have to go with the flow, you know, here on Pimp Your Work!
Over time, no matter how strong your passion about your work, your life, or your mate, resistance will start to build and […]

Networking with Jason Alba — Part I

Jason Alba has spent a LOT of time thinking about looking for a job, trying to find the right one, and how to go about doing it. He got a lot of time to think about it after his board unceremoniously tossed him out of his job just over a year ago.
