Today’s interview is with Antoine de Brabant (Bra-bon) Antoine de Brabant is a web entrepreneur (around Jobbook I hear they call him a “wexpert”). Antoine created his first successful web venture at the age of 21. He was compelled to apply his skills towards a project that would help others in their quest for success and happiness. He now dedicates his energy towards Jobbook.com; a project he believes has the potential to change the world by helping find his or her desired job.

Jobbook is a free career-matching site dedicated to pairing job seekers with reputable employers across the world.

Their newest feature, the Jobbook Wiki allow users to contribute and learn from a user-generated platform of industry specific discussion and interaction. Wiki users can learn how to excel in their education and career by exploring the dynamic range of field-specific topics, ranging from notable people working in the field, schools to attend, top industry companies and more.

Here is an outline of what we discussed:

Listen to how he went from political science graduate to leading a start-up with a couple of years
He shows how he is passionate about making tools available to provide opportunities for connections with employers
He tells his story and how he came away with the idea for Jobbook from his Dad
I asked him about the uniqueness of using Gmail and Facebook to initiate logging in and building an account
How they encourage users to get search results from the job they want, not just what users qualify for
In addition, Antoine talks about how users can find out more information on targeting the job he or she wants

Did you know that all interviews on the blog (including this one) are downloadable to your phone? It is easy with or without the SoundCloud app, but I do recommend using the app. You don’t want the app? No worries, download it through the link on the player.

Cheat on Your Job With Your Spouse #6: Tried and Tested

Trials are good. No, they’re great for the soul. And for our relationships with family and coworkers at our job, right?

Be thankful for trials. It tests what we know. The truth is exposed. Trials validate our authority or lack thereof.

But the work doesn’t stop there when relationships become shallow after the war has been waged . So when partnerships are broken after the battle, what did we learn? Better yet, what do we practice?

In business, we practice that trials, battles, wars, fights, and disappointments that we decide to accept each other weaknesses or not. If we accept one another’s weaknesses, then we thrive for years to come. We know the worse, and that’s alright. We can work with it because his or her weakness is my sword and shield.

In marriage, accepting weakness is a routine, but magical if you allow it. Those who see a spouses’ weakness as an opportunity to find mirth but serve anyway ultimately see only good. Weird? Yeah, I know. The more bad or in this case weakness, is good?

If I show you mine, will you show me yours…weaknesses, sins, errors? There’s enchantment. Romance. Is there more natural at the job than home?

Some of us men folk have the damsel in distress complex. We can’t stand to see a woman struggle with a weight, a grocery bag, or bending down to pick up a piece of paper. But it doesn’t mean much to help if there is no opportunity. For anything. Even if its to look at a pretty girl. She could have picked the scrap piece of paper up herself. But as men the natural inclination is to save the day. Thus, the magic.

It translates to our job but often with a lot less tolerance and patience. The energy turns to competition so there must be a winner and loser. The tie can’t go to the runner.
