the U.S. has revealed that lunch hour for corporate executives has

to 35 minutes in 2008. The survey was conducted by OfficeTeam, a

calls, meetings and pressing deadlines, said Dave Willmer, executive
director of OfficeTeam.

ABSTRACT:

A survey developed by Robert Half Technology asked CIO's what the
strangest or most unusual request they or a member of their help desk or
technical support team has ever received? Their responses are given
here. Beyond the comic relief these out-ofthe-blue requests can provide,
they also serve as a test of essential help desk and technical support
skills, according to Katherine Spencer Lee, executive director of Robert
Half Technology. These unusual requests highlight the need for technical
support personnel to also demonstrate patience, empathy and a sense of
humor, she said.

Author: Mercedes M. Cardona 

Author: The Associated Press 

ABSTRACT:

With unemployment at a five-year high - the latest Labor Department's
report says 605,000 jobs have been lost this year - job seekers may have
longer searches ahead. However, experts say a stretch of unemployment is
not the black mark it used to be. "Don't be embarrassed. People
sometimes get too concerned. They focus so much on the gap and not on
the reason there was a gap," said Katherine Spencer Lee, executive
director of Robert Half Technology, a unit of recruiter Robert Half
International.

"Survey: Workers Say Office Politics On The Rise"
(Circulation: 204,830 ; AVE: $23 ) 

Author: David Schepp 

ABSTRACT:

Presidential candidates aren't the only ones campaigning this election
season. 

A recent survey by Accountemps shows more than half of employees
interviewed said the level of office politics in their workplaces has
increased compared to five years ago. Just 12 percent of respondents
reported a decline. While most workers don't advocate jumping into the
political fray, a majority agree that a little knowledge can be power:
More than half say it's wise to be aware of political undercurrents in
the office without becoming directly involved.
