  • Someone tells you - “The job description is accurate.” Go ahead and laugh and then look at the course content

  • Your highly certified "Paper Tiger" newbie is making your junior staff separate M&Ms by color?

  • Your "connectors" between enterprise applications <insert names here> have been knocked over like the Baltimore bridge because someone clicked the wrong button or disconnected cable.

  • That candidate that mentioned in passing that you really like but their CV didn't make it through "vetting" meaning ATS
