Written by Suzanne I read everything that is written on your site and I know how true it all is. So here I am still a Sr. Director in MK after over 35 years and today I just wanted to scream. Recently I sent a note to my Sr. Dir. …
Written by The Scribbler Circular reasoning, faulty logic, and subtle bullying straight from the top of the food chain, friends. Pay special attention to the last line of the script – its guidance is designed to help recruiters get you into a mode where you’re more likely to answer in the …
