    Other People’s Shoes
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    Candidates for jobs are taught that behavioral interviewing should be approached by putting themselves in the employer’s shoes, and figuring out what it is that the employer is looking for in a potential new employee.



    Performance Review
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    Excellent piece on the performance review on National Public Radio. Essentially they lambaste the performance evaluation process and suggest it is time to Shoot the Dog!



    The Old Man & His Horse
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    The Chinese story of the Old Man and His Horse is about how we only see part of reality at any given time.



    WEIRD Psychological Research
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    Psychology is very new in China, to the extent that after opening up in 1979 the number of qualified psychologists in China could be counted on the fingers of one hand. It was much the same for lawyers, although I think the figure for qualified lawyers was about 70.

    Author: Frank Mulligan

    Author: Frank Mulligan

    It grinds on. This morning another dial-for-dollars caller blatantly lied to me about how his boss had specifically asked him to call me and tell me that he (the boss) would be in town this week, and how he would like to meet me.



    Slow Saturday - Action Required
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    Hottest January-June on record …



    Offshore Financial Services Calls
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    For some strange reason over the last 3 months I have been getting 1-2 calls per day from offshore financial service providers. Each and every one is told not to call me back, politely.



    Linkedin Legal Woes
    Author: Frank Mulligan

    If you have signed a non-compete contract with your previous employer, and are currently building your connection base on Linkedin, you need to be careful.
