Media Coverage

Your Job Search Should Never End

Interviewed by the Province newspaper's Working section for their Sunday edition feature story on the benefits of keeping your antenna up in order to be visible and aware of potential new opportunities out there. AKA the Passive Job Search.

Salary Negotiation quotes by Ian in Maxim Magazine

And while I am at it, thought I would mention another recent media appearance, although it is woefully late.

The April 2007 issue of Maxim magazine ran a few quotes from me on salary negotiations. If you happen to have that issue hangingin around, it is on page 126.

TV Interview on the Business News Network

If you happen to have access to the BNN - Business News Network in Canada on Tuesday June 5th, you can see me in a taped interview at 8pm ET. Or, shortly after airing, it will appear at BNN.ca (click on the Workopolis TV button on the left).
The host, Bruce Sellery, did a great job of getting me to summarize my Getting Market Ready concept as it relates to job search.

Canadian Business Magazine Interview

The recruitment industry has been buzzing recently with CIBC World Markets taking legal action against Genuity Capital Markets for poaching employees.
I was delighted to receive a call on the subject from Canadian Business Magazine to discuss the employee side of the equation. It ended up in the Jan. 31 - Feb. 13 issue of the magazine in a small way. The article isn’t online unfortunately, but the gist of the quote is when you decide to leave, try and resign with some class. Give appropriate notice. Don’t do anything that could come back to haunt you. Common sense, really.

Globe & Mail Article

The Globe & Mail, a national newspaper in Canada, published an article on Saturday, July 31st titled “Disengagement said ‘common’ in workplace.” I am pleased to have been interviewed for this article. The big, I will say it…”cheezy” photo of me, however, has caused some ribbing from friends. Oh well.

On CBC Radio

I had the wonderful experience and pleasure of being the guest on CBC Radio One on tuesday for a phone-in edition of Mark Forsythe’s BC Almanac. The subject was “quitting your job and getting a new one.”
I have to admit it took me 2 minutes to get my radio voice, but it was fun.
