As I’ve written in the past about Stephen Colbert, but this time, he’s outdone himself. In his segment, “Own a Part of HistorME: a Colbert Nation Liquidation“, Stephen is auctioning off old parts of his former set for charity. Although I don’t have the coin to drop $15,000 on Colbert’s portrait picture (I wish I did, though!), I think that Colbert, partnered with AT&T to match the bid’s value for a donation to the Yellow Ribbon Fund. Remember Colbert when volunteering/charitable opportunities come up in your day-to-day activities. ”Standing Out” in this economy might be as simple as volunteering at your Church or local club event.
Have you ever introduced yourself to someone, such as a recruiter, and wondered if its appropriate to say your first and last name or if you should be casual and just give your first name?
Well…here is what Miss Manners says…
“There is indeed something missing in many introductions nowadays: surnames. For reasons of practicality, as well as courtesy, a proper introduction informs each person of the other’s identity. Those first-name-only introductions strike Miss Manners as being intended for concealment, the way salespeople and service people refuse to divulge their last names over the telephone so that they cannot be traced.”
So, in short keep it polite and professional…give your first and last name.
