LinkedIn post: Cyrus Shirazi CEO at Haven My simple test for identifying A+ talent fast: The Weekend Test. I message candidates on weekends. Not to be a jerk... But because response time tells me everything I need to know about someone's level of obsession. Fast response = you're in the game Slow response = you're not obsessed enough Simple as that. This also applies to how we treat our customers. At Haven, we've grown to 250+ customers in under a year because of our response times: - Every customer gets an answer in < 3 minutes - Every issue is our top priority - Every deadline gets hit That only happens when you build a team of obsessed people. The Weekend Test finds them fast. P.S. Some will call this toxic. Others will get exactly why we do it. Guess which ones we hire? CEO Philip Brook and 65 others 51 comments

Screenshot from LinkedIn: I interviewed someone for a $200k job. Here's why they DIDN'T land the job: → Too open to "any opportunity". They didn't seem clear on why this role/company. → Couldn't answer the questions with a straight answer. → Didn't ask thoughtful questions at the end. → Had no value prop. → Seemed to do minimal research on the role and job description provided. Here's how to avoid these pitfalls: → Even if you are open to any opp, don't share that. Instead you need to be convincing as to why THIS role at THIS company. → If you don't have the direct experience, say it. But share ways you have transferable skills/experience. Avoiding will not help you. → Please ask thoughtful questions. (We have a guide on interviewing the interviewer - comment below INTERVIEW - if you want it.) → Be clear on how you are the right person to solve the company's problem. (ie: the reason they are hiring for the role) → Especially if you are pivoting industries/roles, DO YOUR RESEARCH.

a joke From Reddit: r/Jokes, u/lronMan64 A teenage boy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to the prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there's a long tux line at the shop and it takes forever. Next, he has to get some flowers, so he heads over to the florist and there's a huge flower line there. He waits forever but eventually gets the flowers. Then he heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there's a large limo line at the rental office, but he's patient and gets the job done. Finally, the day of the prom comes. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, she asks him to get her some punch, so he heads over to the punch table and there's no punchline.

What does it mean to be Canadian? The history of citizenship in Canada is complicated and, since Confederation, was denied to many as a result of archaic and obscure legislation that was particularly discriminatory against women, children, Asian and Indo-Canadians, and Indigenous peoples. Those whose citizenship was revoked or denied as a result are known as "Lost Canadians." Today, hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. qualify for Canadian citizenship, many unaware of their status as Lost Canadians. A new bill, Bill C-71, is before Parliament which could restore citizenship rights to those born abroad to Canadian parents also born abroad. Join us online to hear from Don Chapman, founder of the Lost Canadians movement about the most recent developments in this fight to restore citizenship rights and amend the Citizenship Act. Don Chapman, a University of Washington alumnus and former United Airlines pilot, discovered his own revoked citizenship status and began his fight to restore citizenship rights to himself and others. Chapman has been the inspiration and force behind the 11 Parliamentary bills to amend the Citizenship Act, with the result that Canadian citizenship has been granted to somewhere between one and two million people, retroactively. Are you one of them? The answer might surprise you!
