VoiceScreener: A New Option For Telephone Interviews

I've been on both ends of the phone — both looking for jobs and for employees. No matter which side of the conversation you're on, though, the telephone interview leaves something to be desired. It takes time to do multiple interviews, it's impossible to set a time that works well for both parties and — if you're the interviewer — you're mind rapidly goes numb from asking the same… Continue reading

One System To Rule Them All

I first became interested in what is now known as lifehacking because of a simple problem: I wanted to be able to get through all of my emails in 15 minutes, rather than the 15 hours it seemed to take.

Because for writers like me, and for many others, all the software and storage space you really need is now online. All that matters is that you have… Continue reading
