Buck Stops Here August 2009 - We're Still Celebrating

“As business owners, we are often told to ‘hire slowly and fire quickly,’ but at ‘An Evening with Champions: Winning Solutions for Small Businesses,’ a NY Report panel event last year, Mediabistro founder Laurel Touby gave more direct advice: Make job candidates jump through a lot of hoops. She reports that Mediabistro communicates with candidates over and over again, all the while monitoring the candidate’s response time, grammar, and clarity of response. This is how she separates the good and interested from the great and enthusiastic.”

—Dawn Verbrigghe, Moi-Meme Attire

“At a recent NY Report event, ‘Turn Your Network into Net Worth,’ the panelists put an emphasis on ‘meaningful networking’ as a studied effort to further one’s knowledge of other businesses while promoting your own. That was very helpful advice for me.”

—Brenda C. Jones, 4 Real Women International, Inc.

“It’s always helpful to see NY Report’s coverage of what other business are doing, whether related or unrelated to my own, because it helps me to gauge my own efforts to be sure I remain innovative without reinventing the wheel.”
