Query:
Person. TV. Camera. Trump recently bragged that he was aces on a
cognitive test. When I first heard the story, I thought, "Okay,
but those tests are famously inaccurate." Then a friend told me
that he had to complete a similar cognitive test as part of the
interview process for getting a job at a big tech firm. Some
outlets are calling pre-employment cognitive testing a new
trend. I would like to talk to psychologists and job seekers
about what they think.
This pitch is for a longer, reported piece, so right now, I am
interested in hearing quick opinions from psychologists and HR
folks about this practice. I would also like to hear from job
seekers who have had some experience with this. Tell me what it
was like for you. If it seems like you are a good fit for the
feature, I will reach out with further questions.
Thanks and have a great day!

I am writing about the growing use of artificial intelligence in
the commercial real estate industry and am looking for sources
who can discuss AI specifically. They do not necessarily have to
have expertise in commercial real estate but I do need two
questions answered: 1) How can a company tell when a vendor is
marketing a true AI application instead of a dressed up legacy
application in order to jump on the AI bandwagon and 2) what
questions should a company ask itself to determine whether it
really needs AI in the first place. Perhaps it would be better
off with older technology.

A controversial op-ed questioning the usefulness of 401k plans
triggered a blunt response from many. Rather than refuting the
piece (this has been done ad nauseum), the article intends to
take the opposite approach. Please email your answers to the
following questions but first restating the question (and it's
original number) then supplying your answer. Please, answers
only - no PR solicitations because we don't answer them.
1) Give 1-2 specific examples of a regular worker (as opposed to
someone from the C-Suite) became "the millionaire next door"
because of saving in their 401k.
2) Why did your examples in question 1 reach the millionaire
level? How did their 401k plan make it easier them achieve this
goal (be specific).
3) Explain whether or not this same strategy can be repeated by
similar employees just beginning their careers today.
4) Given today's circumstances, who might a worker employee a
better strategy (either with or without a 401k)?
5) How should 401k plan sponsors update their older 401k plan
documents to better account for today's circumstances?
6) State your name, title, firm, and city/state location.

How to hire top marketers?
When you hire designers, you can ask them for a portfolio. When

What should you ask marketers? How can they build their
portfolio to show their experience? What questions do you ask?
Would you prefer a video résumé?
Any tips for marketers would be great!
