From my early beginnings as a young introvert, the public library has always been a bit of a refuge. Years later, not much has changed, albeit with an additional affinity for endless hours spent scouring second-hand bookstores to add to my ever-growing “to-read” pile.

Did you ever apply for a job and they requested you submit a video interview of yourself? And did you pass on that job, thinking, “I just don’t have what it takes to be on video?” If so, join the club. Unfortunately, cell phone videos up close are not flattering. At work, we have an… Read more »
For as long as I have been on the internet, I have never come across any article that focused on the importance of telephone numbers in the digital world or the privacy risks associated with the practice of recycling telephone numbers, and I believe The Voice Magazine is the first publication to bring this issue… Read more »
