Red Flags: When one or more people on the interview panel behaves extremely unprofessionally. ie, ridicules the interviewee, or makes inappropriately offensive comments. When the interviewer decides to give an interviewee they particularly

I remember when I was interviewing for basically an apprenticeship for the job/career I do now. They asked us to prepare and deliver a 10 minute presentation on why we wanted the job, that we were to give after we had completed the int

I like “have your cake and eat it too” - partly because it’s a pointless saying. You can always have cake and eat it, but you can’t eat your cake and then also have it. So what people should really say is that someone wants to “eat their ca

I currently have a Mac, but thinking of getting Linux in addition to that for some little side projects I want to do. My MacBook serves its main purpose really well though, I use it for research and writing essentially, and I do a little bi

Wow, I did not realise some places required you to do a test in order to be able to do an MBA. I did an MBA without having to do any pre-tests, but rather just on the basis of my previous degree GPA and my work experience. My honest thought

Maybe big tech could try hiring for diversity of thought… I don’t mean diversity on the basis of gender, ethnicity, or sexuality… I mean, hire people who are experts in other areas other than tech as well… and maybe teach them some tech alo

I think you’ve raised a really interesting question! I had some thoughts to the points you made… particularly because it made me think about luxury cars and watches. 1. Firstly, how do we know no one wants a luxury phone? Is there market re

Not to be rude, but how is being on social welfare a side project? Or are you creating a social welfare program on the side, as a side project, to help others?

CBT with exposure therapy. They’ll probably just start by getting you to look at pictures of spiders, and then get you used to being in the same room as one etc etc until you can hold one. I’m a little bit scared of spiders. Especially larg

I almost didn’t get a new prescription for my GLP-1 but then not even the fear of gaining weight, but rather the fear of having the food noise back is why I decided to continue… even though the weigh loss is plateauing.

My suggestion would be to look into the United Nationals sustainable development goals 1 through to 17. These basically cover all the foundational issues facing society right now. The next thing I would suggest you do is to look into social

The subtle yet powerful force of reciprocity in the context of social interaction is no joke and people have made a lot of money writing books on it, it’s why successful sales companies teach their sales people to use it on prospective cust

Ohhh so you think people are actively keeping tabs on what they give and then what they receive in return in the context of their social interactions? That’s really interesting that you think that, because to me that would suggest that you

I’m curious as to how you think the social interaction plays out?… Like how do you think it’s conducted in such a way that it is so noticeable?

Reciprocal behaviour is what allows us to get along with other humans and behave pro-socially. But I think it’s a bit naive not to recognise that it is still somewhat transactional in nature. There are some situations in which we’re honest

> sometimes people are not used to receiving gifts and they might be “overgenerous” in return because they got flustered…” This is something I had not considered to be honest, but is a great point and something I shall take on board.

I am not “rich”, but a psychological trick I use when I’m out with one or two friends is that I always make sure I buy the first drink, or first entree etc. Basically I just make sure that I provide the first “gift”. The reason being that I

Cialdini, R. (2021) Influence: The psychology of persuasion. Harper Business. It is a great read!! I’m also currently reading: Kahneman, D. (2011) Thinking fast and slow. Penguin. So far I’m liking it.

There’s a pretty basic course on code academy for how to use the terminal with basic commands etc.It’s super easy. And then from there if you need to do something, but don’t know how/don’t know the command - Google it.
