Punk Rock HR Advice: Career Advice

My internet pal, Mike Haberman, sent out a tweet and asked, “Do you tell your 60 yr old, overweight, non-degreed friend w/cust svc bckgrnd that they may never work again?”

No.

Here’s what you do.

1. Be kind.

2. Be compassionate.

3. Be a friend.

Give your friend all the support and encouragement he needs, but operate as a buddy. Family and friends don’t recognize you for your expertise. They rely upon you for your support and love.
