An In-depth analysis of the current job market with best selling author Stanley Bing.
What do a feng shui consultant, new media executive, wine steward, department store greeter, roadkill collector, Donald Trump, and Vice President of the United States all have in common? (And to further plagiarize the dust cover flap), "What too are the actual duties performed by a McKinsey consultant? Other than sitting around and making people nervous?"
Stanley Bing is a best-selling author and Fortune magazine columnist who writes with insight and humor about the inner workings of corporations. He began writing as a business advice columnist for Esquire magazine, and is the author of Throwing the Elephant: Zen and the Art of Managing Up: What Would Machiavelli Do?

About Stanley Bing
In his “bull**it” day job he’s better known as Gil Schwartz, executive vice president of communications at CBS Television where he represents the network as a spokesperson on a variety of critical issues. Stanley admits this is one of the worst kept secrets in business, (once again, to plagiarize, this time from the back cover flap), “which is a joke he’s been using for the last 10 years because he has always believed that if a specific piece of bullshit is effective, its often smart to stay with it.” And while we’re on the topic of bullshit, let’s not forget the late, great Gonzo journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, who wrote, “history is so hard to know because most of it is hired bullshit.”
Considering what’s been going on at CBS, you can understand why its been somewhat difficult to get Stanley to come out for an interview.
