Why haven’t you scored a raise recently or grabbed that next bar on the better job rung? Well, your wait is over, because Gary Burnison, author of Lose the Resume, Land the Job, joins us to help you increase your income potential, enjoy your career more, and rock your next raise! We’ll talk about how a skunk helped Gary realize many of the dilemmas facing people, and how NOT to answer questions during your next interview…and of course, much more.
In our headlines segment we’ll throw a surprise your way. An age group you don’t expect is conned more often on the phone than any other…and it isn’t the group you think. How do you make sure you aren’t taken advantage of by scammers? Jonathan Sasse from First Orion joins us to talk about how to figure out that someone is really secretly after your wallet instead of the person they pretend to be. We’ll also cover a recent spring cleaning story. While you’re cleaning out the attic and the garage…what about your wallet? What should you clean and what should you keep? We’ll discuss that on today’s show.
