The guys who do the Manager Tools Podcast, which I have loved and learned so much from even though I’m not a Manager, are starting up a new podcast on Dec 4, Career Tools.

Like Manager Tools, it will be a weekly FREE podcast addressing your Career: development, search, interviewing, networking, recruiting, promotions, layoffs, etc.

I’m looking forward to learning more about this in the coming days, and eventually hearing it on Dec. 4, or whenever I get caught up on podcasts… 🙂

    Help Desk Radio

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Speaking of the drive down to Cincinnati, while scanning the dial this morning, I caught a few minutes of a show called “HelpDesk”, on WMUB, a college radio/NPR station in Oxford, OH. Turns out that the call-in show is broadcast on-line on Tuesday mornings, and is also available as a podcast. Could be an interesting…

    Linked – Want to attract the best talent? Treat your employees like your customers.

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    “Organizations have fought the proverbial “war for talent” for years now, with mixed results at best. Conversely, most companies have spent the majority of their time understanding what makes their customers happy – with much clearer results. To succeed over the long term, both should be a priority. Today we rightly understand that to truly…

    Blame the Tools

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Over the years I’ve worked with technology, I’ve listened to many, many complaints about the technological tools that folks are using in their work. Everything from poor interfaces, slow response times, and various limitations of the tools. One of the more interesting ones I’ve seen though, are the folks who get bad data from a…

  • Group and Friend Suggestions, is there a better way?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve written about this before, with Facebook’s “People you may know” tool, but I’m reminded again today because of some “recommendations” of groups that are starting to appear on LinkedIn and other sites as well. As I mentioned before, just because you read this blog, and maybe I follow your blog, and we’re “friends” on-line,…

    Linked: The Lonely, Pixelated Hell of Networking During the Pandemic

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Most of these sound awful, and the ones that are “not so voluntary” attempts to make sure workers are engaged sound even worse.

    Actually, I suspect they are doing a lot more harm to engagement than good.

    There are ways to network during this time. They’re different, they’re a little more work, and they take some getting used to. But they don’t need to be ridiculous, and they definitely don’t need to be forced.

    In fact, this is a great time to simply send someone a note asking for 15-30 minutes of their time. Most of us are pretty open to doing exactly that with coworkers or peers in our industry. I’d be happy to find some time to have a conversation with you about my industry, or mental health, or blogging. Or even to just have a coffee or beer with virtually. We don’t even need to be on our webcams if you don’t want.

    See, isn’t that better than having 50 people on mute while the CEO talks, or getting randomly matched with coworkers?

    Ugh, the introvert in me shudders to think about some of these. Please, don’t. Just ask someone to get a coffee like we used to.
