Interviews with successful executives and top corporate culture influencers.

The Future of Swag is Automated. Top Story - March 2020.
Swag.com was founded in early 2016 when co-founders Jeremy Parker and Josh Orbach noticed that the current swag market was filled with things that didn’t resonate with its current buyer- often times a twenty-something year old assigned with the task of purchasing branded items for their newly coveted position at a swanky company. Parker and Orbach recognized a few things about these young buyers that other promotional product companies didn’t: these buyers didn’t want to speak to anyone on the phone, they wanted a curated selection of only the best items, and they wanted to feel competent in ordering a product that was exclusive to them. Now, just 4 years after launch, Swag.com has grown to 35 employees and brings in $7m in sales.

Interview
It was a beautiful day. The cloudy sky hid the angry sun and relieved me from the scorching summer heat. It was a special day for me as I was attending my first interview after relocating to a new place. Things looked pretty simple for me as I attended such interviews for many years. But, I was terrified about the journey as I was unfamiliar with the routes and driving in a new place always panicked me. Yes, I am not a good driver too as I never loved driving during my whole life. Some mocked me saying that it's crazy that there was a person who says 'no' to driving. In a world of racing and motor sports, I loved taking bus and walking on streets than riding in my comfort. Fear was one factor and the regular news of accidents increased my anxiety of holding the steering.

Human resource management is an absolutely vital function of any business entity regardless of its size and scope.

It is not optional. Deciding against the implementation of proper human resource management is a deliberate decision to fail.

Interviewing 101
HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR INTERVIEW By now, you have likely already submitted your resume, but if you haven't, be sure to update it and check for any errors. FUN FACT: The most common mistake made in a resume, is spelling and grammar errors. Make sure you know ahead of time who will be conducting your interview and what kind of interview it will be (one-on-one, panel, Skype, etc.) Do your research! Find out what you can about the company and the position you're applying for, so that you arrive at your interview prepared. Practice your responses to questions. TIP: Record yourself answering questions so that it is easier to observe anything that needs improvement. Dress to impress! This one has increasingly become controversial in that some people believe that you shouldn't be judged based on your outfit. While I agree, most employers do consider this an important part of determining whether or not you are a right fit for the job. So for now, make sure you look professional and presentable! Plan accordingly. Make sure you have right address of where the interview will be taking place and account for traffic, as well as parking. TIP: Try to arrive 15 minutes early. Make extra copies of important documents such as you resume, your CV, a list of references, any certifications, etc. Also ensure that you have both a pen and notepad to take to the interview.

Nina Tonoli is one step away from becoming a Principal Ballerina. The Belgian born soloist has trained her body to be a storyteller for over a decade now. For her dedication, she’s earned the Special Prize Chausson d’Or in Paris and the Award of Excellence in Dance from the Royal Ballet School in London. Ballet and purpose met early for the 25-year-old. “At 10 years old, I went to a local ballet school to do my first ballet class. Since then, I’ve never stopped.” Nina’s first performance was Sleeping Beauty where she played a dwarf. Today she dances for the Dutch National Ballet.

A Sweet Fire in the Eye
When it comes to digital art, I want to make sure that everyone identifies what Robert Wilson and his Artstellations brand brings to the table. Yes, there is great detail, and there is a textured dedication that can be recognized in his work, but what is not known is that Robert is also a full time active duty soldier in our military defending our great country everyday. With the world everchanging with politics, Robert still makes a point to create, and it’s in digital art that you will see him shine.
