  By Bill George, contributor

• The smallest CEO

  I'm sure there are many more important events going on in the world of business and finance today, but I don't care. I'm too grouchy to write about them. I flew in from the left coast last night and didn't get my normal three hours of shuteye on the plane. That's because in the cabin with me was one of those horrendous, narcissistic, noisy, infantile Chief Executive Officer types. She kept MORE

• Be a manager and a temp?

  It's a sign of the times. Employers who hesitate to add costly permanent jobs are increasingly looking for short-term talent - and plenty of highly qualified people are looking for work to tide them over until hiring picks up again, writes Fortune's Anne Fisher in her March 16 Ask Annie column.

• Where the big jobs are

  Despite the slump at lowlier levels of the job market, there's currently a war for senior management talent, writes Fortune's Anne Fisher in her August 8 Ask Annie column. Where is the most job growth for senior-level positions now? Would you relocate for the right job opportunity? If you've ever moved for a job, how did it work out? Any regrets, or tips for those who may be considering moving? MORE
