  • Interviews: Doing Your Homework

    calendar Nov 21, 2013 · Interviewing Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    There was an interesting debate on Twitter the other day over whether or not it's important for an interviewee to know what a company does, or if they should just know whatever technology the job description calls for and nothing else. Jen McCown blogged about it in detail and included a lot of comments. There are …

    I was extremely fortunate to be able to present at the PASS Summit this year. It was an amazing and energizing time, despite getting about 15 hours of sleep the entire week. Much like last year, here are some of my thoughts and highlights in no particular order: Pusateri Christmas Summit (circa 2000) I love …

  • No More (New) MCMs

    calendar Sep 5, 2013 · Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    There have already been several posts on this topic, but I feel compelled to add my thoughts to the mix. For years I told myself only half-jokingly that by the time I became a Microsoft Certified Master, MCMs would either be a dime-a-dozen, or nobody would care. This past weekend Microsoft fulfilled this prophecy and …

  • How NOT to Fill a Position

    calendar Mar 19, 2013 · Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Last week while at work I received a phone call from a recruiter. It was pretty standard until they decided to turn into a jerk. I sent the following letter to the recruiter's agency. I doubt I'll get a reply, but if I do I will be sure to share it here. Identifying info has been removed to protect the not-so-innocent. …

    Three weeks ago I had quite the trip to the Pacific Northwest. I was very fortunate to present in Portland at SQL Saturday #172, and then headed up to Seattle for the 2012 PASS Summit. It was a fantastic week and I hope I can do something similar next year! Here's some thoughts I had from each event in no particular …

  • Eight Résumé Don’ts

    calendar Sep 10, 2012 · Professional Development Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    In our formative years we’re taught again and again that one should never judge a book by it’s cover, but when seeking employment that all goes out the window when you create a sheet of paper so that potential employers can judge you by it. Ironic, eh? That’s life, so make sure your résumé represents you in the best …

  • Jefferson's Ten Rules

    calendar Aug 30, 2012 · Personal Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Earlier this month Michelle and I visited friends in Virginia, and one of the places we checked out was Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s primary home and plantation. I highly recommend going there if you’re ever in the area. It was very informative on many levels, but my favorite takeaway was learning what a geek …

  • Eight Ways To Avoid Retaining Top Talent

    calendar Jul 10, 2012 · Professional Development Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    To say that I was dissatisfied with my previous job is like saying that the surface of the sun is slightly warm. When I resigned, I resisted the urge to blog about it right away, figuring it would be much better to take some time and reflect on it first. A year sounded like a reasonable amount of time, and I left there …

  • Law & ORDER BY: Professionalism and Community

    calendar Jun 13, 2012 · Thoughts  ·
    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    Yesterday the Chicago Tribune printed an article on the death of Philip Corboy, a noted trial attorney. I imagine you’ve probably never heard of him, and I’m sure I wouldn’t have either, except I would walk by his law office on my way to work at a previous employer. The story makes it evident that he was a mentor to …

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    SQL Saturday #119, our third one in Chicago, was a total blast. This was only my second time on the organizing committee, but I’ve yet to hear anything negative about the event. From my perspective, everything went incredibly smoothly! SQL Saturdays are a learning experience for all involved – not just the attendees. …
