Google yourself lately? No, I mean, in the last couple of hours? How was it for you? Is popping your name into a search engine the acceptable face of self obsession, a bit of harmless ‘inter-bating’, or do you prefer to see it as a useful way of monitoring your web presence and work prospects...
Here are the results to last week’s question, In your working life, what would you find the most scary to do? This week’s poll: What other things do you want from your working life? Tell us what drives you. Shar

There is something profoundly depressing – or cheering, depending on your point of view – about watching a guy who can recite great tracts of Milton ring up a random person and say, “Do you own your own home?” Have you ever taken an in-between job at, say, a call centre...
Can you top the following true story for a toe curling job interview gone badly wrong? The interview at an investment bank was going swimmingly until the question of swimming came up. The banker noted that his prospective employee’s CV listed synchronised swimming as a hobby...
A reflexologist halved her hours a few months ago so she could have more time to do the things she wanted to do: see friends, write, do up her flat, study and relax. Very Workology, I thought, except it hasn’t quite gone to plan...
We received a lively response from you in our last discussion, Are Your Feeling the Pinch? It’s clearly a subject that many of you are thinking about in your business lives...
‘Dan, you could earn twice as much if you make the leap.’ ‘Son, you should do whatever makes you happy.’ ‘Darling, now’s not the time to take that sort of risk.’ Money. Fulfilment. Security. Money. Fulfilment. Security. Money. Fulfilment. Security...
Not a day goes by without some news piece or a splurge of statistics signaling economic doom and gloom. Yesterday, the British Chamber of Commerce has published a survey of 5,000 Small and Medium Sized Businesses that warns of a looming recession...

Fancy life as an entrepreneur? If so, head to Bank of Scotland and find out just what kind of entrepreneur you’d make, with a quiz from market research firm Tree. Perhaps you’re a High-flyer, at your best on the move and working in design, leisure, travel or marketing. You may be a Mad...
Prof. Stewart Friedman from the University of Pennsylvania argues work/balance is the wrong metaphor, it is too generic, and that we should focus on four different aspects - work, home, community and self, what does everyone else think...
We hope you’re enjoying your experience of Workology, and are starting to find it helpful in creating work opportunities for yourself. Even though we have been in Invitation-Only since the middle of March, our community has been doubling in size every week...
