Global 2010: Scoring Unlisted Jobs

Job boards are irresistible because they seemingly put everything within easy reach. Unfortunately, the majority of job hunters are competing for the same small pool of jobs and getting turned down.

More than 80% of job openings are actually unlisted, says Steven Rothberg, founder of job website CollegeRecruiter.com in Minneapolis. This can be a good opportunity for outside candidates with research and networking skills since most companies will try to promote from within or rely on employee referrals.


  • Look for signs
  • It's people, not paper
  • Make it easy to find you

Global 2010: First-Date Blunders You Should Try to Break

BOSTON, MA - APRIL 20: Salina Kosgei (R) of Ke...Image by Getty Images via @daylife
Bob, a marketing professional, contacted Beverly, an attorney, after he spotted her profile online. The two began an email relationship that went smashingly well. After a few weeks’ worth of email, they set up a first date at a local restaurant that was halfway between their respective homes in the Boston area.

The first date seemed to be going well, and Bob was barely able to finish his

Bob’s mistake? “I didn’t give her a chance to get a word in edgewise,” he admits. “I spent the entire date talking about myself.”

Doing all the talking is a classic example of how guys can screw up that exalted first date. “I blew it,” Bob says.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Follow these five simple tips and make sure you get that second date:


  1. Don’t brag 
  2. Don’t go on about your ex 
  3. Don’t force your faves on her 
  4. Don’t drop her off and scram 
  5. Don’t press for a goodnight kiss
