After trusting me to order for the table, our conversation ranged from our professions to our favorite foods, to how we can help those in need.

I think anyone can do well in a phone interview if they're prepared, but what happens when you get an ambush call? I know some recruiters like to do this -- call you during the dinner hour when the kids are screaming and the meatloaf in burning and the dog has just eaten a sofa cushion. You scream, a "dammit!" into the phone as you step in dog barf (the dog didn't like the cushion so much) and suddenly your career is teetering on the abyss.

The first round of auditions for Juilliard’s pre-college program is by video. From December to March my son practiced for three hours a day to prepare. At the end of March we recorded him playing Cello Concerto in A minor by Saint-Saens, and we sent it off to Juilliard. The results of the first round came quickly. He made the cut. The art of practicing is finding a process for repetition without boredom.

In a recent Eat Your Career community poll, there was a resounding request for more information on career planning. As always, your wish is my command! One of the first questions I always hear around the topic of creating a career plan is this: “Do I really need one?”. If you’ve been in the workforce for a while, it can be tempting to put this task on the back-burner.

The bitter state of politics in our time reflects a misalignment between economic and social progress. Although the world has seen tremendous leaps in innovation that are aimed at improving lives, too many people feel they have been left behind by a system unfairly stacked against them. So, how did we get here? How did globalization, technology, and "financialization" come together to create such progress and what needs to change to make these three critical forces work better?

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
