Top 5 comportamente in 2009
“Si daca nu iti place cum lucrez eu,
intoarce-te in tara ta”
Vechiul meu birou avea un avantaj major, pe care, trebuie sa recunosc, nu l-am exploatat suficient: O gradina minunata in spatele cladirii. La inceputul verii aceasta era in floare si minunatul parfum al florilor invada sala de conferinta. “Domnule Ilias, acestea sunt CV-urile candidatilor pentru interviurile de astazi“. Am deschis dosarul si am luat... »
Top 5 behaviors of 2009
“If you don’t like how I will work,
go back to your country”
My old office had a major advantage, which I admit that I did not exploit enough: A wonderful garden located in the back of it. At the beginning of the summer it was blooming, with the wonderful smells of flowers invading in the conference room. “Mr Ilias, these are the cvs of the candidates... »
“I want an English teacher” - “Teaching should be done exclusively in English?”
I have made an account at Linkedin.com. It has proved to be very good, as I have met many serious people, did lots of business and I have seriously increased the circle of my friends here in Romania (and not only). Soon I will write to you more about networking sites and this one... »
Gossiping 2
A really successful businessman… Sunday afternoon, in Radu Beller area, Bucharest. The coffee places are half full, thus lots of parking lots are available. A young guy leaves driving his Maybach (I guess he wanted to feel more secure, this is why he bought a 600.000 euro car – hopefully not by leasing…) and now... »

I am sad….I am happy
I am sad It is really very disappointing to find out every day that there is a serious part of the Romanians today who behave so wrong when it comes to discuss about work. These people… aren’t they tired applying for jobs and when we call them for an interview they say to my assistant... »
“How do you expect to be taken seriously?”
The distinguished gentleman who was sitting opposite me was pretending that he is sooo cool. But he was not. He was nervous, I could read it on his body language. He was not nervous like a lady I met the previous week, who “had feelings” because she felt stress being interviewed in a big... »
Lovely weather – the Spring is coming?
Lovely weather – the Spring is coming? Guys, did you see the wonderful weather of this week? It was really amazing to enjoy such a weather in this part of the year… (plus it was very helpful for all the constructions, they could proceed without any problem). Actually this weather is so good that it... »
Hiring again
Hiring again While one third of my team is at hospital / home being ill for different reasons, we started the 2008’s round of hiring personnel. Honestly I feel quite uncomfortable with the idea, as it takes lots of time and the results are usually not amazing. But when I see around me at... »
