Work Life Balance
What is it?
In preparation for closing out the year and starting fresh with New Year's resolutions, we reviewed copious amounts of literature on work/life balance. This is really a subjective and amorphous little topic that gets a lot of mileage out there. Read about what it is, and try out some of the tips we found, including having lunch in Bangkok, ...
... then tell us:
Do these ring true? How do you achieve work/life balance? Does your employer provide it? Is it a non-issue for you?
Read the article and tips for CEOs as well as the rest of us.

The Holiday Rush Is Upon Us!
By Joanna Edwards, Executive Recruiter at Redfish Technology
As I write this, a beautiful snowfall blankets Sun Valley, Christmas music is playing and eighteen resumes were in my inbox prior to 6am MST. It can only mean one thing: yearend is approaching.
We are just weeks away from January 1st and in the world of recruiting it is typically our busiest time of year for a multitude of reasons.
In my recruiting days, I have seen a lot of interesting things occur: interviews on Christmas Eve, interviews at airport bars, final interviews via Skype, phone interviews on Monday followed by flying the candidate out the next day for a final meeting. No matter what the case, if you want the job (or alternatively, if you want the candidate) you do whatever it takes to secure the deal - even if it means a last minute change in schedule.
