Ideally, this prevents space being taken up by employees who might not use their desk regularly and increases flexibility in the workspace. But there are some issues with hot-desking, and before moving toward using this practice, there are some important things to consider. Why Hot-Desk? As mentioned, hot-desking is intended to increase employee flexibility and make good use of space and is also thought to improve collaboration among employees.

Use the job description of the post for which you are applying. Match your language to their language. Match your skill set to the skill set they require or prefer. Most companies today scan resumes into a computer data base that scores resumes based on matched words.

The exception to this, (and the best way to go) is to get your resume into the hands of the recruiter or hiring manager by a referral....

This has always surprised me, as goal setting is frequently recommended by self-improvement gurus, performance coaches, and business leaders. It’s also something that I learned at university and have implemented successfully in my life ever since....

It used to be my favorite pastime, it didn’t matter what I was watching — re-runs of Disney movies, random snippets of Friends, or the latest episode of Jimmy Fallon — I could sit there and binge watch all day on Netflix or HBO. The sound from the TV would often be my lullaby and rocked me to sleep on the couch. Let’s do some simple maths here. Simple But Shocking....

Chances are we all have this kind of experience, and it’s okay— you should even have a laugh about them. Laughing at yourself means embracing who you really are.[1] Most of us have insecurities, or feel bad about ourselves because of past mishaps.

On the other hand, good habits enable health, happiness, and dream fulfillment. So the question is, how long does it take to break a habit? It’s difficult to break bad habits. We’ve all experienced it, whether we’ve failed our newest diet (again) or procrastinated working on a long-overdue work assignment....

People leave positions for many reasons. Leadership plays a major role in job satisfaction. Those who feel unrecognized for their efforts are likely to walk. Those who deal with office politics, or find their managers to be self-serving may look elsewhere for a job. Many people begin their job search under the radar, and as they interview, they recognize how undervalued they’ve become. If their job isn’t offering them opportunities for development and adequate compensation, you can bet that they’ll search for another employer....
