Quotes of the Day

Job-hopping works best when the economy is strong and there are plenty of job vacancies employers need to fill. That isn’t to say you can’t hop your way to better pay in an economic downturn. But, generally speaking, you’re likely to have less negotiating power in a job market with high unemployment and few openings. Software developers and staff accountants who’d never quit turned out to earn 10 percent less than the job-hoppers in their field. But operations managers and administrative assistants who had stayed put were earning around 20 percent more than new hires. For nurses, there wasn’t much of a difference between job switchers and job stayers. [2021] - Erica Alini

When you stare deeply into the eyes of a woman (as long as she finds you initially attractive) and keep them there, especially during silences, it works a kind of "magic" on her. [2006] - Leil Lowndes

Use Times New Roman as resume font and 24 point size for your name. Use single spacing between the name and contact information. Apart from cell phone and email, include a link to your LinkedIn profile instead of your address. The point size here should be 11 or 12 and the line is a 3-point line. If you are using Word, use the draw function to draw the line. The word "Summary" is bold, Times New Roman, 14 point and obviously underlined. If it has been five years or longer since you graduated, leave the year of graduation off your resume. [2016] - Dan Quillen

Market influencers impact the immediate levels of supply and demand in the real estate market. Their effect is temporary but real. Market influencers have little to do with the fundamental key drivers of the real estate cycle, but that does not mean that market influencers are insignificant! In the Vancouver and Toronto markets from the middle of 2009 to the middle of 2011, a "false boom" occurred. Fuelled by market influencers rather than an actual shift in the real estate cycle. The low interest rates and impending HST worked as market influencers and stimulated real-world, but short-term, demand, thus creating a false perception of a real estate boom. [2011] - Don R.
