  • Caring for Your Mental Health During a Pandemic

    March 23, 2020

    The current outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has created a high period of stress for people around the world.

  • Job Search Mistakes

    March 16, 2020

  • 5 Signs it’s Time for a Change and How to Take the 1st Steps

    March 2, 2020

    Post written by guest blogger Charlesice Hawkins, Detailee within OITE. In science there is often a looming question: do you try for hundredth time or do you try something else? The answer, of course, is that it depends. It depends on what is most important, it depends on why it didn’t work, it depends on the goal, it depends on the options, and it depends on the significance. The issue is complicated further by considerations of other people, their expectations, their involvement, and sometimes their money.
