It’s Labor Day!\u00a0 Many many years ago, someone said, “Having to go to work five days a week really sucks.\u00a0 Let’s give people a day off,” and Congress made it a national holiday.<\/p>\n

In honor of Labor Day, I found a good link this morning that I wanted to pass along:\u00a0 Here’s a company called 360JobInterview.com<\/a> that does live interview coaching in Memphis<\/a>.\u00a0 Well, actually they’re not in Memphis, but they simulate the interview experience via webcam.\u00a0 (If you don’t have a webcam on your computer, they can help get you set up.)\u00a0 You choose a coach who is an expert in interviewing in one of 55 fields – everything from accounting to IT to marketing to printing, and more.\u00a0 They run you through a mock interview, with questions likely to be asked for your field and your level of experience.\u00a0 Your coach then gives you a detailed critique and offers suggestions for improvement, and you get a chance to ask your coach any questions you have.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been to a number of interviews and haven’t been offered anything, interview coaching would likely be money well spent… sometimes the best constructive criticism comes from a neutral third party who doesn’t know you personally.\u00a0 360JobInterview also offers career action planning and resume planning.\u00a0 If you’ve been frustrated and stuck in the job search for a while, these might be good people to talk to.<\/p>\n

I had a very enjoyable second day at the Memphis Music & Heritage Festival yesterday.\u00a0 For some reason I never snap a whole lot of pics at the festival, but here are a few random ones I took:<\/p>\n

The culinary highlight of the festival for me was the homemade guacamole from Las Delicias.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s Monday.\u00a0 That means it’s Pint Nite at the Saucer, and they’re open at 11 AM.\u00a0 Most pints $2.75.\u00a0 Will has tweeted that trivia at Local will happen as usual at 8 PM.\u00a0 I’m assuming poker at the Silly Goose (9 PM and 11:30 PM) will not be taking a break for Labor Day either.\u00a0 Not sure about half price wine & pizza night at Spindini.<\/p>\n

Gonna go take a walk and get the Sun’s assistance de-Elvising my hair.\u00a0 Will be at Pint Nite this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
