What are your overall thoughts about job coaching? BE: A lot of what was going on with my coaches was a complete and utter waste of time. First, they all want to do a personality test. My first thought was, “I already told you I’m a P.R. person, that’s what I do. So what if I have the personality of an embalmer?” In 1993, 89 of the Fortune top 100 companies were administering the Myers-Briggs test to their employees. The philosophy behind personality tests is that they don’t want you to be in the wrong kind of job. The tests have been completely exposed as nonsense. People take the test in the morning and then take it again in the afternoon and have a new personality.

Writing back to the newspaper Posted by Nikki Reimer on Tuesday, July 13, 2010, In : Arts My response to the G&M article "B.C. arts groups blast funding cuts". @libndp-terminator: The argument that the private sector should fund the arts ignores the fact that many industries in the private sector are funded by the government directly or indirectly through tax incentives, or moves like the recent HST (BC and Ontario, not sure where else) that took a tax away from business and transferred it to consumers. The oil industry is subsidized by the government. Health care is subsidized by ... Continue reading ... Kudos to MLA and Arts & Culture Critic Spencer Chandra Herbert Posted by Nikki Reimer on Thursday, May 27, 2010, In : Arts I've posted verbatim Herbert's recent newsletter on the BC government's gaming grants cuts: Dear Friends of BC Arts and Culture, This week we learned that the BC Liberal government has dealt another blow to the arts and culture community. It was brought to light that the limited gaming funds announced in the March 2010 Budget in fact exclude a large number of the arts and culture festivals and programs for children previously believed to be supported by the gaming branch.
