So you found a great person with exemplary skills, experience and fabulous references…but you don’t have a position open for them. Bummer, right? Not so fast.

Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
Do you ever look up at your web browser and ask “Where the heck is that tab?” If you’re like me, you probably have at least 10 tabs open in your browser right now (oops) and can’t really read any of their titles.

This browser extension helps manage your tabs without having to close them. Add tabs to your heart’s delight.
