42Rules Goes Global

Remember the enormously popular science fiction series, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? Created by Douglas Adams, it sent a group of people on an inter-planetary exploration. The comic adventures led to one destination —the number 42. Seemingly, “The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life” was computed by a supercomputer the size of a planet, called Deep Thought, and 42 surfaced as the magic number.  So if you’re a cult follower or just intent on hitchhiking through your work-life, business or management dilemmas, it may be a good idea to pick up 42 Rules, recently printed in India.

The Internet is awash with information about job candidates. Be sure you’re aware of how to use it properly. “If you’re new to social media, take some time to learn about it,” says Jennifer Jacobson, author of the forthcoming book, 42 Rules of Social Media for Small Business. “Find a platform that works for you.” Once candidates are in your hiring pool, it’s tempting to Google them and search the big social media sites to see what comes up. But the mix of public, private, professional and personal information that can be found online must be used with abundant discretion, if at all. “Recruiters should try to look at the person as a whole,” says Jacobson. “Look them up on the social media sites, Google them and their email address.”
