The Introduction

 So, I'm home today with my 5-year old who woke up with a bit of a fever and a slight cough.  Prone to pneumonia for some reason, we thought we'd play it safe and keep her home.  One of the many benefits of being a full-time consultant (code for UNEMPLOYED), is that my schedule is much more flexible than that of my partner.  So, on a day where I've got a meeting or two scheduled, I can usually re-arrange things to make them fit the crisis - big or small.

I'm still formulating my "grand opening" of this blog.  Trying to put together a dramatic "opening" that really puts out there what these principles are without giving too much away from the upcoming book.  I will say that while I originally envisioned this book focusing on training and people who do public speaking, the current economic situation has caused me to re-think that focus.  I think what's needed is something concrete and succinct to help the many people out there who've been caught in the crunch and have joined the millions of job-seekers out there vying for a little bit of crust from the pie that most of the fat-cats already devoured. 

How do you have an edge going into an interview?  What will separate you from the next hungry (figuratively AND literally) Joe Shmoe and Suzy Q so that a prospective employer will take notice that YOU are the one they've been looking for?

Enter - the Piooya Principles.

The first principle, the Power of Language.
