Keeping Up-to-Date

Near the end of every interview I always ask this question, there is some sort of a preamble to it… “We work in a changing industry…” “There are so many new technologies…” How do you do it?  How do you stay current and relevant? Many think it is a trick question, i.e., I am waiting for you to say one specific blog and then I will go “aha Hire them!” – not the case.  There is no one magazine, one blog or book that is going to make you stand out from the rest of the crowd.  Conversely, I have

In and Out of the Moment
