Commercial Real Estate Jobs

By: Mick, September 27th, 2007

We’re currently in the process of leasing a commercial property in Baltimore, Maryland and I got to thinking about the various roles that are played throughout even a fairly simple transaction. We own a commercial building in a very nice area of downtown Baltimore and we’ve listed it with a leading broker in the area. […]

Should You Divulge a Criminal Conviction in a Job Interview?

By: Mick, September 26th, 2007

The answer is no. You should have had to address that question in writing at some point prior to your interview and you should have answered it honestly at that point. That is to say, you should say yes, but you should certainly save your explanation (and it better be a good one) for the […]

The Complex World of Union Labor

By: Mick, September 25th, 2007

Workers at GM walked off the job yesterday to demonstrate their opposition to talks that General Motors may be moving U.S. auto-making jobs overseas. So, basically, thousands of members of the United Auto Workers union left their jobs in an effort to secure their jobs. I’m completely uninformed when it comes to the machinations of […]

Time is Your Most Valuable Commodity: Four Ways to Save It

By: Mick, September 21st, 2007

We’ve talked about it many times, trying to weigh the value of your time versus how much money you’re making. Are you wealthier making 40K per year working 30 hours per week or making 80K working 60 hours per week? It’s an ongoing struggle for most of us, desperately trying to find a balance that […]

The Road to Entrepreneurship for Generation Y

By: Mick, September 20th, 2007

I am an entrepreneur and have been so for the last 10 years. With my trusted partner, we’ve been through several business models, traveled many paths and experienced various levels of success and failure. Both of us worked in the “real world” for a very short time - roughly two years - and our business […]

NFL Jobs, MLB Jobs and Other Jobs in Professional Sports

By: Mick, September 19th, 2007

For a great many people out there, working for a professional sports team or anywhere in the organization of a professional sports team seems like the perfect job. We immediately start to imagine George Costanza suddenly thrust into his role as the assistant to the traveling secretary for the New York Yankees. If you’ve ever […]

Where are the Free Job Boards and Free Job Postings?

By: Mick, September 18th, 2007

The answer is that they are still out there, but they are fading fast. The most recent player to drop out of the free job postings game is The Ladders, which I just mentioned last week. Joel Cheesman is speculating that they are likely to open their formerly free job postings up to clients for […]

Manual Labor Jobs

By: Mick, September 17th, 2007

Some people refer to manual labor or general labor jobs as unskilled labor. And I’m not sure that’s ever really accurate. As long as you’re doing something, there’s probably some level of skill involved. I recently had three very large trees removed from my yard (to prevent a rapidly spreading disease) and the workers that […]
