There is much to say about this political season we have just witnessed but I will reserve my thoughts for now and just encourage you to go and exercise your rights as a citizen and VOTE! I began this particular category, Politcal Chat at Interview Chatter, to give me a forum to discuss the presidential […]
We have 7 days until we go to the polls and my biggest concern is that many people have done little to no research on either of the two candidates. Obama and McCain are the only two people we can select as the next President of the United States. What have you done as a […]
I was shocked last night when I heard that Senator McCain has suspended his Presidential Campaign. I truly need to know why he felt this was the best move for him. As a reminder, when I write these posts I am looking through the lens of a hiring manager. John McCain has been selected as […]
As I have listened to all of the news sound bites and opinions on the Presidential campaign, I am actually disappointed in a process that I actually find exciting - The Elections.

Is it a popularity contest? I fear that we may be moving […]
With the presidential candidates campaigning in full force now, I’m becoming more and more irritated by the bitchy negative tone of their campaigns. Darlene has pointed out before that the campaign and election process is our interview of the potential candidates. Then why do we condone all this negativity?
