Entrepreneurs value individual effort and know that greatness starts with a commitment to personal excellence.

They, too, enjoy seeing their best come through in the work they do. We see this spirit in our clients all the time here at People Biz, Inc.

Amy Kniss from Demand Media asks Deborah Huyer:
1. What are the toughest interview questions, and how can you answer them effectively?
2. What are the three biggest mistakes you see on resumes or cover letters?
3. What are the worst mistakes a candidate can make when interviewing?

5. What advice do you have for job seekers in an employer’s market?

The business world is growing and changing at ever quickening speeds, yet there has been little change in performance management over the past 10 years to adapt to these changes.Like the platypus, the annual performance review has not kept up with the speed of change and finds itself stagnant, obsolete and ineffective in meeting today’s needs.
