TOP IDEA: Maura V. Pingor If I were to chose 1 experience that has had a major influence in whom I am today, I say it's the opportunity I was given to live in & visit differenct countries: when I was 7 my family moved from Argentina to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. When I was 21 I moved to the US. I have also visited multiple countries. Being exposed to so many different cultures has had a HUGE impact in my life (personally and professionally). Do you have one thing you can point to as a major driver of whom you are today?

Your insights are interesting and inspiring. Hmmm, for me, a major driver was finding myself homeless in high school. I worked full time, attended school, lived in a car and went on to put myself through college. I still feel as if I can accomplish anything.

TOP IDEA: Maura V. Pingor Great timing on this article (http://bit.ly/fhDULz), as I have taken recrutiing responsibilities for a new internal client, Citi Realty Services, and some of the jobs I have opened are for our Alternative Work Strategy group. Now that I have used our flexible work benefits, I don't think I can do without them. Is this a benefit you currently have, and if not, how do you rank it in your job selection process?

Hi Maura,
It is very nice to add me in your fan. Although I do not have much experience in recruiting, I used to recruit sales people while working in Vietnam with different global companies. It is a very challenging I did not only expect to find a right candidate for the position but also to find a potential candidate to develop for the future

La Donna Lokey Seeing a growing trend of apps/sites wanting to share (via FB or elsewhere) what you're reading, listening to, watching. Be careful, people! It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to destroy one! It's a good idea to review your own feed from time to time, to ensure your apps aren't posting things without your knowledge.

Not only did I learn the true basics of software engineering, but I learned from his 20+ years of experience at IBM, Burroughs, and Sperry as a senior software engineer, about how software engineering works in the real world.

In addition, not only was he a brilliant engineer, a high level software guru and a successful businessman, but a fount of information on anything relating to businesses, computers and software.

But I need safety lens that darken in the sunlight, and those care going to be an extra $100 or more.
