Job interviews are about more than just showcasing your skills; they're also about uncovering the real vibe of a potential workplace. Here's how to get the information that truly matters to you:
Prioritize Work-Life Balance: Today's job seekers, recovering from pandemic burnout, are more intentional about finding employers who value work-life balance and flexible hours. It's crucial to find a company culture that aligns with your personal and professional needs. βοΈπ
Ask the Right Questions: Don't hesitate to ask thoughtful, tactful questions during the interview. Inquire about busy seasons, after-work commitments, and how the company supports employees during peak times. This can reveal a lot about the day-to-day reality of the job. π€π¨οΈ
Look for Employee-Driven Changes: Asking about recent initiatives or changes inspired by employees can provide insights into how much the company values staff feedback and involvement. ππ‘
Understand Their Definition of Balance: Work-life balance means different things to different people. If you have specific needs like family commitments or further studies, discuss how the company accommodates these. π‘π
Non-Monetary Benefits Matter: Especially for those returning from parental leave, understanding policies on remote work, parental leaves, and health insurance can be crucial. These aspects often reflect how much a company values family and personal well-being. πΆπ₯
Watch for Red Flags: Use your research and intuition during the interview process. High turnover, lack of growth opportunities, or interviewers who seem disorganized or unhappy can be warning signs. Trust your gut feeling about the company's environment. π©π
Balance Science and Art in Interviews: Interviews are about your qualifications (the science) and your emotional intelligence (the art). Pay attention to the vibes and attitudes of your interviewers to gauge the true culture of the workplace. π§ β€οΈ
By focusing on these aspects, you can ensure that your next job is more than just a paycheck; it's a place where you can thrive professionally and personally. π±π

On the Jeff Fenster Show, Jeff Hoffman, a luminary in the entrepreneurial world and chairman of the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), shared invaluable advice for budding entrepreneurs. Here's a rundown of the top 8 tips from this inspiring episode:
Cultivate Key Attributes: Embrace humility, coachability, and empathy. These qualities are crucial for overcoming challenges and building a thriving venture. π±π€
Listen to Your Customers: Avoid being blinded by your own brilliance. Prioritize customer needs and feedback to create products and services that truly resonate. ππ¬
Embrace the Leap: Entrepreneurship is like "jumping off a cliff and building an airplane on the way down." It takes courage and determination to chase your dreams. π«πͺοΈ
Invest in What Matters: Inspired by his mother's dedication to education, Hoffman highlights the importance of focusing on significant problems and dedicating yourself to meaningful causes. πβ€οΈ
Chase Excellence, Not Money: True fulfillment comes from making an impact, not just financial success. Be driven by passion and purpose, and the rewards will follow. ππ°
Understand Your Business Inside Out: A deep understanding of your industry, market, and customers is essential for making informed decisions and adapting to change. ππ
Hire Exceptional Talent: Surround yourself with a team of "rock stars." Diverse skills and perspectives can propel your business forward. ππ₯
Prioritize Productivity Over Activity: Focus on tasks that align with your goals rather than getting bogged down in busy work. Productivity is key to success. πβ³
Hoffman's insights offer a roadmap for aspiring entrepreneurs to navigate the complex journey of building a successful business. By following these principles, you can turn your entrepreneurial dreams into reality. πππΌ

MICHELIN Guideβs Point Of View
Named after both the number of seats at the counter and the courses served, Ten is an original concept offering unapologetically vegetable-focused cuisine. Beyond a serving of kampachi, scallops from Nova Scotia or duck sourced from a local farm, this small kitchen run by the young Chef Julian Bentivegna cooks only what the season provides and does so with notable creativity.
Some dishes on the tasting menu lean new Nordic minimalist; others, like a butterball potato pavΓ© paired with nutty salsa matcha, tangy fermented radish and earthy sweet black garlic, zigzag across culinary borders. A recent highlight featured a silky-smooth mix of beets and lime juice set in a buttery almond tart. The minimalist, all-white space keeps all eyes on the food.

π§ Today We Learned: That since 1953, an Italian regional bank called Credito Emiliano has accepted giant wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese as collateral for small-business loans. Besides holding the cheese as insurance, the bank stores and ages the wheels in climate-controlled vaults for the duration of the loan.
