First-Born Kids Luv CEO Jobs

USA Today's Del Jones recently wrote an interesting article about first-born children and their ability to land the role of CEO.

Here's a quick excerpt from Del's article:

Scientists have found that first-born children are smarter than their brothers and sisters. It appears they are more likely to succeed in business, too.

Be it drive or aptitude or a slightly higher IQ, the advantage crosses gender and international lines. Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Balmer is an eldest child, as is Avon's (AVP) Andrea Jung. Charles Schwab, (SCHW) the oldest of two, overcame dyslexia to become one of the world's richest. Joe Moglia, CEO of TD Ameritrade, (AMTD) was first-born of five and says he received regular corporal punishment as a child.

Now, certainly that doesn't mean that the last born doesn't have the wherewithal to make it to the top. But I'm prone to believe that the last-born will have a lot more laughs on their way to the top.

Great article by Jones - get the complete story, HERE.

What's LOVE got to do with it?

Well, if it's an internship....love has a lot to do with it!

Check out this Yahoo!News article on the ins, outs, rules, and breakups regarding the love-hate internship relationship.

For the Love of the Job ...

Some people love their job so much, retirement's not even an issue.

Welcome to T-Mobile, Joe Pierce!

On March 20th, I received an email from Joe Pierce (former wireless employer to remain anonymous ; ).

Joe had found me on LinkedIn and, as a result, got the address to my blog, WirelessJobs.com.

In his email, Joe said,

"I just started looking through the carriers website when I noticed what looks like a great fit/opportunity with T-mobile.

What do you think would be the best approach for getting an interview for this position? Is there a contact I could reach out to? I am hesitant to send a resume via the website because so many of them get "lost in the shuffle".

Any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciative."

It's no surprise that Joe was hesitant to send his resume for fear of it being lost in the shuffle. Do the words "Black Hole" ring a bell?

So, what did he do? He sends me an email.

I left Joe a v-mail that same day and then got his contact info into the hands of Christopher Parker (T-Mobile Recruiter Extraordinaire). In Christopher's capable hands, the snowball picked up momentum, and 24 hours ago, Joe Pierce accepted an offer from T-Mobile.

Way to go Christopher! Nice job of recognizing talent and doing your very best to make sure that Joe's "candidate experience" was first-class!

By the way, I just hung up the phone with Joe. He's on cloud nine.

Guess what Joe...that makes two of us.

Welcome to T-Mobile,

That's the one you click.

Why should you read it?

Well, as Scott says,

"If you don't make a name for yourself, someone will make one for you."

College Grads Face Stiff Competition in Job Search

Interesting insight from Experience Inc's fifth annual College Graduate Survey.

More than 2,800 graduating seniors took Experience's online poll, and nearly 50% of those who had already started their job searches at the time of the survey were still looking. The results, released in early April, also showed that only 22% of these students had offers in hand. Another 15% planned to continue on to graduate school, and 10% had yet to begin searching.

So, college grad, where are you?
