Successful People Know When and How to Break the Rules

I was asked to review a new book, The Big Picture: Essential Lessons for the Movies. Authors Kevin Coupe and Michael Sansolo do a great job of discussing the business and career success ideas in almost 200 movies. This is a very thoughtful book. Kevin and Michael make some great points about success that pop up in some unlikely movies. For example, they use the movie Babe to make the point that it's important to be different -- and break some rules -- if you want to get recognized and succeed. That's great personal branding advice.

Career Aptitude Test – Pass Your Career Aptitude Test And Land The Job

Some 40% of employers now use some form of career aptitude test as part of their employee selection process and this number appears to be rising.

They know that it’s not always the most suitable candidate who performs best in the interview and making a recruitment decision based on 45 minutes is not ideal. So many choose to base their recruitment decisions on selection test results as well as a job interview to add an element of objectivity to the decision making.
