HONORING NEGRO BASEBALL LEAGUE GREATS

Former Negro Baseball League players (from left) Ron “Bunny” Warren, Charlie “Whip” Davis, and Chuck Harmon, along with Tom “High Pock-ets” Turner (not pictured) will visit young baseball fans at the Public Li-brary of Cincinnati and Hamilton County in May and June through a partnership with the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum to cele-brate the Gillette Civil Rights Game June 20 between the Reds and the Chicago White Sox. Excerpts from Kadir Nelson’s award-winning We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball will be read by librarians at the events, sponsored by the Kersten Fund. The main library will also dis-play rare baseball memorabilia beginning May 25 and list the accom-plishments of such greats as Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Satchel Paige and Ernie Banks. For more details, visit www.CincinnatiLibrary.org.

Citing research the article details how relying on emotions in these types of situations can make for better outcomes as you have an opportunity to read the room and pickup subtle hints that may prompt you to go in one direction over another. If a serious negotiation is in your future, this is a must read! Full story here.  read more »

Humanize Your Resume

Before you send out your resume give it a solid read and be on the lookout for those canned phrases such as "team player" or "strong work ethic." How many of these do you have throughout your resume? One might be okay, but more than one in your resume and/or cover letter can make it seem generic and lackluster.  read more »
