A Weeks Wages
The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that he could out-do anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of one of the older workmen. After several minutes, one older worker had had enough.
"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right. Get in."

With over 414 million users, here's what most LinkedIn members are doing wrong.
Last week, LinkedIn celebrated its 13th birthday. It's officially a teenager. With more than 414 million users, it's the largest professional social network. And it's getting bigger by the day, making it the biggest pool of talent online as well. When it comes to LinkedIn, we're all little fishes in a big pond. Which means, if you want to be contacted about great business and career opportunities through LinkedIn, you need to stand out. However, that's where many users are making a critical mistake.
99 percent of users fail to optimize their profile.
Most of LinkedIn's members don't know how to optimize the content of their profile so they can be found. It all comes down to putting in A) the right words, and B) the right amount of words. Here's why.

3 Key Steps for Choosing the Right Person for the Job
By: Alison Davis, Founder & CEO of Davis & Company

Essential Questions You Need to Ask
Your team has an open position, and it's vital that you hire someone who not only can fulfill job responsibilities, but will also work well with colleagues.
That's why the interview is so important. Here are tips for making the most of the time you have with the person seeking the job.
1. Envision your ideal candidate.
Start by developing a complete understanding of the responsibilities of the job and the competencies needed to succeed in the position. Review the job description and think about skills, experience, and personal qualities of other employees who have been successful in the position. Likewise, consider the learning from past situations where an employee may not have been successful in the job.
Think about the potential career path for this new hire. Ideally, how will he/she advance through the organization?
2. Get to know the real person.
- Begin the interview with informal conversation to make the candidate relax and feel comfortable.
- Let the candidate do most of the talking.
- Use active listening skills like nodding and restating the response so the candidate feels that you are listening to their answers.
- Allow time for the candidate to ask questions.
