As the CEO of peer-to-peer investing platform Fast Invest, I use my training in business and knowledge of technology to make the company a success. Before I was a tech CEO, however, I was an artist. I have a degree in fine arts from the Vilnius Academy of Arts, and you may be surprised to learn my experience in art has been very useful to my work as a CEO. Art degrees may seem like they don't prepare students for the ... Source: Recruiter

I recently attended an interview with Aly Raisman, Olympic gymnast and multiple gold medal winner. As Raisman talked about her overwhelming love for her sport, the lady next to me leaned over and said, "I wish I loved anything that much." She is certainly not alone in that feeling. There is a reason why many of us hold athletes up as heroes. They represent a drive and determination that few of us feel we possess. In the days following the interview, ... Source: Recruiter

You can't deny that you wish you had a piece of the action. For an asset class to provide a return of 1700 percent on an investment over a ten month period – or for investors who have been in for a little over four years to receive a return of 170 times their initial outlay – is almost unprecedented.

Many students, friends, and clients, have told me they intend to look for a new job this year. When I ask the obvious question – "What are you looking for?" – their responses are almost always ambiguous. Few people can identify the industry, company, or even city of the job they want. For a more focused job search – one guided by a laser-like precision – I'd suggest following the  Source: Recruiter

To those who don't do it often, business travel can seem quite glamorous. Who wouldn't want to get paid to visit exotic locations and stay in fancy hotels? For regular business travelers, however, the reality is less exciting. Flying can be an unpredictable experience, and things don't always go as planned. Flights get cancelled, and luggage gets ...

In the last half of 2017, I noticed a major change in the average job search. Many people seem to have gone from struggling with not enough options to struggling with too many options. At first glance, the latter may seem like a better problem to have. The truth is that both scenarios often result in the same thing: A person not getting the right job, the job they actually ...

It's a weighty question to be sure, but it's one career-finding platform Sokanu set out to answer with a survey of workers across the country. The survey looked at happiness by location and by job. Oddly enough, it seems like the further west you go, the Source: Recruiter
