Oh "boo hoo" to Jenna's list. That's your job, lady. You get paid (quite well) to deal with all the sh*t employers don't want to deal with.

Here's what YOU...

Here's a mission statement that may sound familiar to some:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide...

So basically:

1. There are known knowns
2. There are known unknowns
3. There are unknown unknowns

DELETE Customer WHERE (Cost*10) > Profit

Seriously, this is not a new concept. If your customer is costing you far more than you are making from them, then why keep them around?...

I would expect more fluffy action verbs for a "Best of the Best" job. For example:

- Visualize

- Lead

- Guide

- Create

- Assist

- Monitor

- Install

- Help

Crime happens. You do what you can to prevent and contain the crime. Then you rely on the law to help you punish those involved and recoup your losses. As mentioned by...

What Americans termed a 'Revolution', the British called a 'Rebellion'. While you are celebrating Freedom today, try something new and exercise your mind by considering a different perspective.

Step 1: Post a 'great' job but omit the salary (or post a broad salary range)

Step 2: Receive 1000's of resumes to build/update a database

Step 3: Fill job reqs using...

Ah, yes, "-ability" . The suffix of management and marketing. "Port-ability". "Scal-ability". "Compat-ibility" (eh, close enough).

As opposed to "-tion". The suffix of the worker. "Frustra-tion". "Despera-tion". "Resigna-tion".

Hi Natalie,

What's the rate? You know, the GBP is trading at nearly two-for-one USD these days. Could be a good contract for someone.
