It's alarming to realize that there are thousands of you in cyberspace, and most of them sound pretty credentialed if you believe what their LinkedIn profiles have to say. I had to step up my game and update my LinkedIn profile. Every year, we hire thousands of new staff worldwide to … [Read more...]
