“Staffing Firms and Executive Recruiters are responsible for 10% of positions that job hunters find. Employment agencies, “temp” firms, executive recruiters, and other staffing firms fill job openings for a commission, which is usually between 15% to 33% of the annual salary. The employer pays the fee. The remaining 15% of jobs come through online applications and recruiters who are not Executive recruiters. As job seekers, if we complete three online applications a day, it’s easy to fool ourselves into thinking we’re being productive. So here’s my question: Given that “Talking To Other People” yields five times the number of jobs as online applications (75% vs. 15%), and staffing companies yield almost as many opportunities as online applications (10% vs. 15%), don’t we owe it to ourselves to pursue these avenues? If not for ourselves, then maybe for our loved ones who depend on us and our salaries.”

“Life is depressing and hopeless enough, without imbibing further depression and hopelessness through story. I don’t care how realistic people like to think that is. It’s not what inspires me, or makes me love and cherish a book or a television show or a movie. When I am imbibing fiction, I want to be inspired. I want bold tales, told boldly. I want genuine Good People who, while not perfect, are capable of rising beyond their ordinary beginnings. To make a positive difference in their world. Even when all hope or purpose might seem lost. Because this is what I think fiction—as originally told around the campfires, through verbal legend—ought to do, more than anything else: Illuminate the way, shine a spiritual beacon, tell us that there is a bright point in the darkness, a light to guide the way, when all other paths are cast in shadow.”

“Science fiction invites the writer to grandly explore alternative worlds and pose questions about meaning and destiny. Inventing plausible new realities is what the genre is all about. One starts from a hypothesis and then builds out the logic, adding detail and incident to give substance to imaginary structures. In that respect, science fiction and theology have much in common.”
