Interview issues

Okay, I'm thinking that if this is you? You need to get a new perspective more than you need a new employer.

Shares an interviewer, "[One] applicant was doing really well in the interview until she got to the reason she left her other job. She told us everyone was out to get her."

You can find the article over here on Monster. I really wonder about how other people interview. Some seem to have a great handle on their inner monologue, while others seem to really struggle with communicating basic information such as their core competencies, or main enthusiasms.

Project Managers? You should . . .

Expression Editor

I needed a way to test the logic of my expressions outside of BIDS. A quick Google search later, and I ran across this. It's worked wonders for me so far, in that it forces me to think through my test before I take the expression back to my package(s).
