But in this movie, it’s not the popular kids who taunt the geeky ones. No, in this movie the still popular kids are traditional Annual Performance Reviews and the geeky aberrations are the pundits pushing to change the system.

Career experts often advise job seekers or networkers to “tell your story.” But what does that mean? Should you share how you won the school science fair in third grade or how you once locked your keys in the car with the engine still running? It’s difficult to know exactly what story to tell at the right time – and how to make it interesting enough that eyes don’t start to glaze over or someone pulls the fire alarm just to get away from you.

I've heard plenty of horror stories about age discrimination in job interviews, so it was really refreshing to hear something positive about an employer who not only actively seeks out older job candidates, but older workers who say they've found new careers that inspire and rejuvenate them. Here's the latest story I did for Gannett/USAToday.com. Gisela Ashley had been a real-estate agent for about 18 years when she decided to take inheritance money from her father and go back to school.

'Josh Bersin recently wrote a compelling post about how the nature of jobs are changing. Instead of functions, people assume roles, perform tasks and participate in projects. They may ‘report to’ a number of people besides their own manager, from project managers to stake holders. They may lead teams and manage projects without a manager title.

'‘Responsible capitalism’ seems to be generating more widespread support across the UK. For example although Ed Miliband, who I think was the first to initially popularise the idea, was initially criticised for suggesting things need to change ( I supported him ), similar ideas are now being brought forward across the political spectrum. And this isn’t about politicians acting in a leadership role, it’s just a sign of them catching up with the mood of the nation.

'One of the overused and yet most important words used in the world of business is differentiation. There is a lot of chatter about how best to differentiate a business.

And only after those unsuccessful attempts to get help they have to do it by themselves and do some research on the internet or books.
