And they care. 2. The easiest way to be the smartest person in the room is to be the person who pays the most attention to the room. You'll be amazed by what you can learn, both about the topic of the meeting and about the people in the meeting if you stop multitasking and start paying close attention.

The 10 Best Interview Questions to Ask When your interviewer wraps up your job interview by asking if you have any questions, you might think that he or she is finished assessing you, but that's not quite the case. Interviewers draw conclusions about you based on the questions you ask—or don't ask. You don't want to give the impression that you're not very interested in the job, or that you're only concerned about the compensation. 1. This question shows that you don't have blinders on in the excitement about a new job; you recognize that every job has difficult elements and that you're being thoughtful about what it will take to succeed in the position. 2. This question shows that you're thinking beyond the interview and that you're visualizing what it will be like to do the work itself. 3. Asking this shows that you're thinking in the same terms that a manager does—about what the position needs to contribute to the team or company to be worthwhile. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Don’t be the hardest worker in your job or in your job hunt If you work the most hours you look the most desperate. You shouldn’t look lazy, but don’t be the hardest worker. After all, why do you need to work so much harder than the next person? Are you not as smart? Not as organized? Not as confident in your ability to navigate a non-work world? The fact that the hardest worker is not necessarily the most successful rears its head before work even starts: A study conducted by Alan Krueger, professor of economics at Princeton University, shows that when it comes to workplace success, it doesn’t matter if you get in to an Ivy League school, it matters if you apply. Nonstop work offers diminishing returns after graduation as well. Don’t tell yourself that you work nonstop because you love your work: If you really loved your work, you’d take a break so you don’t mess it up. Ironically, moments that elevate your level of success at work often require time away from work. If you can’t stop working, you might be in for some bad news: Workaholism.

Entretien d'évaluation : 30 ans de pratique, 30 ans d'inefficacité? L'entretien individuel "a perdu de son sens, créé des tensions, de l'anxiété et du mal-être", avance Arabelle Laurans de Faÿ, directrice du Learn Lab, laboratoire d'innovation managériale filiale du cabinet conseil HR Valley, qui présentait, le mardi 26 mars, les résultats de son enquête qualitative réalisée auprès d'une dizaine de sociétés. Des oublis patents Aux yeux des salariés et aussi des DRH, les critiques de cet outil sont, en effet, légion. La crise économique a rendu, tout d'abord, les résultats chiffrés plus difficiles à évaluer. C'est pourtant de ce rendez-vous "que découlent les formations, l'évolution de carrière mais aussi les augmentations", note le cabinet conseil. Notamment, la part variable de rémunération dans un contexte d'individualisation des salaires.
