Anatomy of a Good Executive Resume - Advice from Recruiters (Part 2)

Job Chronology and Accomplishments - The Meat and Potatoes

Be aware that many recruiters and employers are suspicious of functional formats because they too often get used to hide issues such as career gaps or job hopping. Many recruiters that I spoke to had a clear preference for reverse chronological formats, because it requires the least amount of time and effort on their part to see what a candidate has done with their lives.

Sharon Rich is seeing much more savvy on the part of jobseekers in terms of résumés that quantify accomplishments and focus on transferable skills. HR Consultant and author Sharon Armstrong agrees. “Executives, senior managers and professionals are really spending time highlighting their major achievements on their resumes. Not everything they ever did…just a few targeted ones…which they can quantify.“

However, there are still too many job seekers who haven’t gotten the message. “Uncertain of what will catch someone’s eye or what to include, they are trying to cover all bases,” observed Sharon Blaivas, a former recruiter with Goldman Sachs. “I think that people who have been successful in their field and are now looking for work, feel that all they need to do is document what they do (at length and in any format!) and people will be knocking their door down.”

“The chronology needs to be fact based and focused on results,” says Paula Marks. David Lewis advises that each responsibility be accompanied by a correlating accomplishment. “Don’t say ‘I sold advertising.’ Instead, tell me how much you sold and how good you were!” For senior-level executives, Paula suggests taking it one step further. “Eliminate all ‘responsible for’ kinds of statements unless it isn’t obvious from your job title what you do. Concentrate instead on what you delivered.”

Be strategic in what you include. Ask yourself why the next employer would even care about each statement in your chronology - stay focused on the achievements that are relevant for your next job. If you’ve had the same job title over a number of different companies, don’t repeat yourself. Instead, show how your knowledge and skills have progressed over those years.

Don’t Waste Valuable Résumé Real Estate

“If the top half of the first page is the most critical section, do you really think its wise to waste an inch and a half of space with your name in really BIG letters?” Keep your identification bar concise, and limit your identifying information to your name, address, telephone number and email address, recruiters advise. Keep in mind that if you are going to be using a recruiter, they will be submitting your résumé under their letterhead. Make their job easier and leave enough margin room for them to do so without having to completely reformat your document.

You don’t need to include your LinkedIn address on your résumé. “It’s the equivalent of a high schooler listing their MySpace page on a job application - somewhat tasteless and unprofessional,” according to career advisor and columnist Megan Pittsley. “If someone wants to find you online, they will.” Likewise, you don’t need to include References are available upon request. Of course they are! Who other than Mary Poppins is going to tell a potential employer that they will not be providing references?

There has been an oft-repeated rule among professional résumé writers that your interests and hobbies have no place on a résumé, but recruiters are split on this. If your pastimes are reading and walking on the beach, then save it for your Personals Ad.

However, if you have “interesting” pastimes and non-work accomplishments, these can help to distinguish you from other candidates. If you have travelled extensively in other countries and are comfortable in cross-cultural environments, this can be an important “plus” to an employer who is looking to develop global business relationships. A candidate who has participated in Ironman competitions has obviously got the tenacity and self-discipline needed to set and achieve ambitious goals. Somebody who is extensively involved in the arts, charitable organizations or philanthropic activities will have a diverse network of contacts beyond work, which can be of great value to a company that relies on relationship selling to build their client base. It’s all about understanding the requirements of the target company.

Résumé Format & Structure

Give careful thought to layout. The most important information should be frontpage news, and there is no “one size fits all” solution here. Approach your résumé design in terms of what the recruiter / employer really wants and needs to know. If you legitimately have a lot of information that is frontpage newsworthy, consider using side panels where data like credentials or production credits can be listed without distracting the reader from your chronology (thank you to Mitch Drew for sharing his successes with this format).

Be aware, however, that too much innovation in design can work against you. “I saw something that was supposed to be a résumé recently but it looked like a seismic graph - all colours and lines”, one recruiter told me. “I don’t have time to interpret something like that - all it says to me is, this guy has too much time on his hands.” Paula Marks agrees, and recommends sticking to conventional formats. “Our brains have been trained to read résumés in a certain way. It’s a visual tool, it needs to be laid out that way.”

Keep in mind that your résumé may be viewed in print, on a desktop, a laptop, a Blackberry. It may also be scanned using Optical Character Recognition software, although this is increasingly unlikely (when was the last time you were asked to submit a written copy of your resume?) . Neverthless, it is still advisable to steer clear of fancy fonts in favour of those that are easy on the eye. The easier it is to read (by both humans and computers), the more likely it is that your résumé will be read and remembered. And be aware of the typesetter’s conundrum - sans serif fonts, which are easy to ready on the computer, can look boring on the written page, while serif fonts, which are common in books and magazines, can be extremely hard on the eye if looked at on a computer screen.

Great Résumé - Great Start. Now What?

Go back and look at it again. Make sure that every single word, sentence and structure is relevant and adds to the picture of who you are. Think short and sweet. “I don’t have time to read long paragraphs, so cut out the fluff.” But unless you are a new graduate, a one-pager probably won’t do. “One page résumés have gone the way of the dinosaur. If you are experienced, there is no way you are going to be able to cover everything I need to know about you in a single page.”

Customize your résumé for each target job, is Paula Mark’s recommendation, but don’t reinvent the wheel. You may need to create a list of 10 or 12 different summary bullets, so that you can pull out the six or seven that are most relevant for the specific job.

Finally, Caroline Ceniza-Levine, who has recruited for corporations such as Accenture, Citibank and Disney ABC, notes that “too many candidates are still dropping off hundreds of résumés and thinking this is a comprehensive search.” It isn’t even close. The job market is saturated with highly accomplished and highly qualified candidates, and the people who are succeeding in this environment are the ones who know how to network strategically.

Not sure how to network for a new job without feeling like a snake oil salesman? Have a look at Sharon Graham’s case study of what executive-level networking looks like in today’s job market. It’s all about harnessing information, building connections, and taking advantage of available resources to “position yourself above the competition and remain at the top.”

The Morbid Anatomy of the Brain (1) $19.94 The Morbid Anatomy of the Brain (1)

Atlas of Morphology and Functional Anatomy of the Brain $60.99 Aims at illustrating the anatomy of the brain and its appearance on MR images using a simple mode of presentation. Following an introductory chapter, this book is divided into a morphological and a functional imaging section. It includes MR images showing cortical activation in various functional areas such as auditory, motor, visual, and more.

Human Brain Anatomy in Compute $105.54 Spectacular recent developments in neuroimaging technologies have vastly increased the amount of information about brain structure that can be obtained from tomographic scans. Prepared by a leading expert in advanced brain-imaging techniques, this unique atlas illustrates the wide range of neuroanatomical variation in a collection of normal human brains in three-dimensional computerized reconstructions of MR scans of living persons. It also provides 100 sections of a single brain so that the same structure presented in the section of one incidence can be identified in the section of another incidence that intersects it. Axial and coronal sections of another brain with a different overall configuration are included at the two most frequently used incidences so that readers will get a sense of the correction that they may need to apply to standard images. The atlas is based on a voxel-rendering technique developed in the author's laboratory that permits the reconstruction of the brain in three dimensions with about the same degree of precision in identifying major sulci and gyri that can be achieved at the autopsy table. The images used throughout the atlas have not been beautified; the contours have been left ragged for greater anatomical detail. Thirteen pages of color illustrations are also included. The first of its kind, this atlas will be an essential tool for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and neuroscientists, as well as for medical and neuroscience students.

Human Brain Anatomy in Computerized Images $131.98 Modern tomographic scans are revealing the structure of the human brain in unprecedented detail. This spectator progress, however, poses a critical problem for neuroscientists and practitioners of brain-related professions: how to find their way in the current tomographic images so as to identify a particular brain site, be it normal or damaged by disease? The problem is made all the more difficult by the large degree of individual neuroanatomical variation. Prepared by a leading expert in advanced brain-imaging techniques, this unique atlas is a guide to the localization of brain structures that illustrates the wide range of neuranatomical variation. It is based on the analysis of 29 normal brain obtained from three-dimensional reconstructions of magnetic resonance scans of living persons. It also provides 177 section (coronal, axial, and parasagital) of one of those brains so that the same structure presented in the section obtained in one incidence can be identified in the section of another incidence. An additional 209 sections of two incidences of two other brains with different overall configurations are included at the same incidences, so that readers can become familiar with the variability of standard images prompted by different skull shapes. Forty-six normal brains, segmented in to the major lobes, are also included. The atlas is based on a voxel-rendering technique developed in the author's laboratory that permits the reconstruction of the brain in three dimensions. The technique permits the identification of major sulci and gyri with about the same degree of precision that can be achieved at the autopsy table. The volume contains 50 pages of color illustrations. The Second Edition of this atlas offers entirely new images, all from new brain specimens. Like the first edition, it will prove to be an essential tool for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, as well as medical and neuroscience students.

Why Highly Intelligent People Seldom Succeed in Life

The world no longer revolves around the gravity of perfect intelligence and a large brain capacity does not mean you can crush your competition with a force that is titanic. The world has changed and being intelligent doesn't normally equate to being a successful person. I mean look at the example of the blue whale. It has a monstrous brain, but it still doesn't know how to avoid whalers or use its immense size and weight to capsize some of these pirates who try to use their meat for profit. Why highly intelligent people seldom succeed in life is because they can't communicate well with the world around them. Can a blue whale raise a protest? Not really.

Ok let's get real. Intelligence is a preposition in life that makes you think that you are better than a lot of the rabble that surrounds you. That intelligence can blind these very people from the insensitivies that they exude and how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success is derived purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create around their supposed brain power - a world which they constantly look down from.

This is a distance that develops whether or not they realise it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where one side of the fence can't listen to each other, the messages get garbled and miscommunication sets in. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks they are haughty. And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this translation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them; they become reclusive and start to have a low opinion on everyone around them in the constant journey to find intelligent conversation. They get ostracized in community and this leads to what people called a deficient personality and a 'super ego inferiority complex'. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they lose their confidence and draw deeper and deeper into this view of themselves as superior - until it takes over their lives.

It doesn't help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college (the haven of most of the intellectuals) and realise success and riches don't always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. It short, it becomes an emotional roller coaster ride that leads them to failure. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint, it is sometimes the end result of some people - people who get so involved in this mindset and get so disappointed in the real world that they become stunted, emotionally and lose all ability to communicate with the world outside them. Their mind is immovable and once that happens, they get stuck inside a frame of mind that can only lead them to further failure.

The Beginning of Understanding and the End of Alzheimer’s

Too much dopamine in the frontal cortex and emotional trauma around the age of 20 is the cause of schizophrenia. Too much dopamine can cause anxiety and depression as well. Too little dopamine in the back half of the brain will result in Parkinson’s disease. A functional MRI using SPECT technology has paved the way for many patients to seek pinpointed treatments. These scans measure blood flow and metabolism in the regions of the brain related to mood and produces a simplified three-dimensional output on the computer. I believe the test costs $2000 but the results can quicken the process of finding a medication that works best for your specific kind of depression or anxiety. The scan can also lead to discovery of tumors but its primary purpose is to identify areas of the brain that are either overactive or under active. The overactive parts are due to above normal levels of metabolism in that part of the brain. The under active parts are due to reduced blood flow.

This can be an excellent tool in finding out whether a certain kind of medication will work better than another. A pattern of activity (or inactivity) has been associated with certain disorders. Attention Deficit Disorder, for example, is seen in scans showing decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex. Anxious depression can be seen by an overactive (malfunctioning) deep limbic system. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, on the other hand, is identified by an overactive cingulate gyrus.

Certain behaviors are visible through these scans. Conflict avoidance, for example, results from a malfunctioning basal ganglia. Aggression and rage is sometimes due to a decrease in activity in the left temporal lobe. Religious experiences can be seen in the over activity of the right-temporal lobe.

This simplified method of mental health analysis is going to get better and cheaper and will eventually result in a personalized medication for each patient. In this future scenario the patient gets the SPECT scan and the pharmacist comes up with the specific ingredients needed to normalize each part of the brain in one easy to swallow pill. This brings up the concern of Soma and the Brave New World. I believe, however, that this will be the best way of leveling our equality with one another.

The 1990s was the decade of serotonin. The early 2000s was known as the years of dopamine. The latter half of this decade is turning out to be the years of the GABA because of all the new treatments for bipolar disorder. In terms of neurotransmitters, the years between 2010 and 2020 will the decade of acetylcholine. This will be the time when we discover treatments (cures?) for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. A new generation of medicinal abuse will come from these drugs that increase available acetylcholine levels in the brain. These drugs will restore the memory of an Alzheimer’s patient and turn a normal brain into a brain with super memory. Although this is not related to intellect, I believe that the years between 2020 and 2030 will be the decade of a transmitter not yet discovered that is correlated with intellect.

Reasons & Steps to be taken for improving the life quality of Islamic women. Part 2

IIWA (Iqra International Women’s Alliance) was launched with a view to give exposure to educated Muslim women to express their views and be a part of active Muslim society. As we all know half of the Muslim population is women who have tremendous potential to work for Ummah in social religious and educational fields. These potentials need direction and support by responsible people to break the shackles of economic strife.

There are many misconceptions and stereotypes in the society to demean Islam with particular reference to women. IIWA provides a platform for Muslim women to come forward, express their views and work positively for the Ummah strictly within the framework of Islamic shariah.

IIWA is a platform where Muslim women could join hands with sisters of other faith in carrying out social services so that we send a positive message to others, which alone would help us in D’awah work. IIWA also plans to organized seminars to educate Muslim women about duties imposed on them by Islam as also their rights in Shariah. .

Remove Domestic Violence

As per National Family and Health Survey in India, both Muslims and Hindu women are subjected to domestic violence. Though this violence is 20% less in Muslims as compared to Hindu families yet it is matter of great concern for any Muslim particularly when Rasulullah (S) asked in his last sermon:

“O people! Fear Allah concerning women. Verily you have taken them on the security of Allah and have made their persons lawful unto you by words of Allah. Verily you have certain rights over your women and your women have certain rights over you”.

IIWA has plans to create a cell to sort out issues concerning women who are subjected to domestic violence. IIWA will first try to ensure that such acts do not recur but in extreme cases IIWA would help aggrieved women morally, legally and financially.

IIWA also plans to organized seminars to educate Muslim women about duties imposed on them by Islam as also their rights in Shariah.

IIWA will also cooperate and coordinate with other groups/ organizations who are doing this work. However, IIWA would mainly concentrate on problems of Muslim women under the laws of Shariah

IIWA would also involve Muslim advocates to ensure justice for Muslim women particularly when there is already an act in Indian law “Protection of Women from Domestic Violence” passed on 26th October 2006. .

Removing Stereotype & Misconceptions

There are number of misconceptions about Islam and Muslims particularly about Muslim women in the society. IIWA plans to deal with each one of them and present the correct picture logically and in a positive manner. Hijab, Divorce, alimony etc., are some such issues, which are grossly misrepresented by the media with a view to make Islamic law anti-women. IIWA will try to make others understand that a Muslim woman covers her head but not her wisdom. .

Remove Cultural Imbalance

Muslims in India and many other countries live in a pluralistic society. It’s obvious that some cultural habits and rituals have been adopted by Muslims particularly women. Most of us are not even aware of such rituals, which at times are found un-Islamic. It is therefore necessary that Muslims should shun such wrong practices and scrupulously adhere to the teachings of Islam IIWA will help identify such cultural imbalances from Muslim society and would educate women to adopt the correct way.

In this regard IIWA is working towards reforming Muslim culture and wants to bring about changes for both men and women. IIWA will help Muslim women to adopt Islamic practices and attire and face the challenges of the modern time by balancing worldly affairs with spiritual life. .

Generate Communal Harmony

When prophet Mohamed (S) established first Muslim state in Madinah, he announced the rights of non-Muslims too. He announced that every non-Muslim who lives peacefully his life, wealth, places of worship would remain fully protected by the state. They also shared equal opportunities and reap benefits in Islamic state.

There were strict instructions to the conquering Muslim army not to hurt them or defame their religious heads or touch their places of worship. In case of complaints from non-Muslims against the Muslims, investigations were carried our promptly and justice delivered without any delay.

Qur’an says:

Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from Error”. (2:256))

“We know the best what they (non-believers) say; and you are not one to compel them by force. So admonish with the Qur’an such as fear My warnings” (50:45)

Ehsaas

Ehsaas… is an endeavour of the IIWA through which it intends to extend a helping hand to the destitute women & children in India who year for an adequate and affordable means of training and professional enhancement. The project is towards establishing an institute that would offer courses on professional enhancement in Fashion Designing, Textile Designing, Interior Designing, Cooking, Beauty Culture, Computer Skills, Journalism, Photography, Handicrafts, Candle Making and Soft Toys Making etc.

The project entails building a base in Northern India in Delhi’s suburb where the first institution will be established. The plan has a comprehensive approach wherein the base will be an all encompassing set up with a training base including practical, theory & computer aided training methodology; A manufacturing unit where orders bagged by trained professionals will be manufactured; A warehouse where logistics will be maintained; An office where corporate relations and administrative procedures will be carried out and a showroom for visiting guests. It will be a multistory building in a 1000 sq. yards area with an exclusive floor attributed to each division.

The institute will offer training programs through trained professionals and will be subject to a nominal course fees. However, the deserving and needy candidates will be considered in given circumstances.

Through this institute IIWA intends to spread Islamic Education also among the women who are the inceptors of generations and who if educated can at least pay off an inheritance of education to the progeny. This however, will be achieved by the inclusion of Islamic Education as a compulsory subject for the Muslim Women & Children.

IIWA believes in a truly peaceful society in which people cooperate and coordinate with each other irrespective of their religion and belief. In order to enhance communal harmony what is required understands the teachings of all religion for which inter faith dialogues are necessary. Let us present to the world what Islam teachers and what prophet Mohamed (S) professed. At the same time let us hear what other religions stand for and what they teach the humankind.

IIWA is arranging inter faith dialogues between various communities for the sole purpose of creating mutual understanding and trust between them and to remove stereotypes and misunderstandings created deliberately against a particular religion and faith. .

Memory In Learning - Just How Does It All Work?

If all the data received by our senses were stored in our memory, we would soon be overwhelmed. The subconscious mind sorts through the input, and retains only a fraction for long-term memory storage. Every second, the eyes absorb ten million bits of information, the skin takes in a million bits, and the ears receive one-hundred thousand bits. Of these millions of bits processed, only about forty of them reach the conscious mind. Data, that are not deleted, are sorted and filtered by the subconscious mind. Next, they are either sent to the conscious mind, or encoded for medium and permanent memory storage.

The active brain can "remember" things that actually did not happen, or that are not correct. Ask any police officer who has interviewed witnesses. The mind makes assumptions in order to link events. People "remember" words that are implicit or not stated, with the same probability as explicit words. Studies with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) have demonstrated that the same brain areas are activated during questions and answers about both true and false events. This may explain why false memories can seem so compelling to an individual reporting the events.

Types of Memory

Remembering is the storing of memories, and the later recalling of them. It's a biological process that involves dedicated brain structures. When a memory is encoded; it is dismembered and handed off to different parts of the brain for storage. Getting all these pieces back together is an inaccurate process. Hence, RE-membering is not perfect. Knowing that memories are formed in different categories, and that they move between categories, can help in developing strategies for improving memory and learning.

There are two broad categories of memory: non-conscious, and conscious. The latter includes short-term, and long-term memory.
• Non-conscious memory, takes two forms. One of these, implicit memory, automatically stores experience and concepts, and plays a role unconsciously in affecting perception and behavior. These memories are the basis for forming an individual's view of society, and his or her place in it. The other form, muscle memory, plays a role in the mechanical execution of a series of motions, as in riding a bike or playing a musical instrument, learned through repetition over time.
• Conscious short-term memory, is the working memory. It's a place for stuff that you need to hang on to for only a short time. Maintaining information for only a few seconds, it enables us to remember a current thought, and so, for instance, take part in a conversation, keep a lecture in context as it progresses, or maintain the thread of a story or movie.
• Conscious long-term memory: Although stored in our unconscious mind, this memory is of the events and facts that we can consciously recall and verbally describe. It includes that of words, symbols, and general knowledge about our perception of the workings of the world. Information of a personal nature, something witnessed or experienced, is better remembered when associated with emotion.

The brain links information unconsciously. You can purposefully help to maximize this effect. As you perceive new input, match it as best possible to material already in your memory, by using images, sounds, key words, and concept maps. A vital ingredient for memory is reviewing, and it is effective only when done at specific times after absorbing the information. For instance after one hour, one day, one week, and six months.

The brain thrives on challenge and complexity, and its primary drive is survival. It needs to survive socially, economically, emotionally, and physically. The brain is pre-wired to learn and, if optimum conditions are not present, employees may learn to fear change in the workplace, and students may learn to fear subjects like math. It is the management of emotions that gives learners greater command over their learning. Overwhelming stress has a detrimental effect. Researchers have evidence that high stress experienced by a pregnant woman can distress the fetus, resulting in learning difficulties for the child later in life. Among infants and toddlers, high and chronic levels of stress can make learning more difficult, perhaps even shrinking the part of the brain associated with memory.

Tips to Remembering

Imagine that I recite to you a list to you of thirty items. I then ask you to write them down after I finish. You would remember things that are:
• at the beginning of the list
• UnUsUaL
• repeated, repeated
• at the end of the list

The remembering of the first and last items is helped by what is known respectively as their primacy and recency. Every study session has primacy and recency opportunities. If you study for one hour, then take a break, you get one of each. If you study for twenty-five minutes, take a short break, then study another twenty-five minutes, you get double the primacy and recency events. How great is that?

As mentioned earlier, memory is not stored in a single location in the brain. It is deconstructed and distributed all over the cortex. The emotional content is stored in the amygdala, visual images in the occipital lobes, memory of the source in the frontal lobes, and venue is stored in the parietal lobes. Remembering is actually an act of reconstruction.

Memory Decay, or loss of remembered events, is a natural phenomenon as new experiences displace existing memories. You can easily counteract this loss of learned material through periodic review.

A greater variety of input streams from eyes, ears, tactile, and emotion allow for more pathways to exist for dynamic reconstruction, thus creating richer memory. Multi-modal instruction makes a lot of sense. Accelerated Learning addresses the need.

To get a handle on just how unlimited our ability to learn is, multiply the number of neurons (10 billion) by the number of branch spines (10 million) by the number of dendrite spiny protuberances possible on each spine (100 million). The result indicates how many new connections are possible when learning. Using this size font, the answer is a "1" followed by zeros that extend for some 6.2 million miles. The capacity of our memory is virtually unlimited.

Another Day in the Frontal Lobe A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside $7.96 ISBN-13: 9780812973402 ISBN-10: 0812973402 Title: Another Day in the Frontal Lobe A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside. Author: Katrina Firlik.

Another Day in the Frontal Lobe $5.98 Katrina Firlik is a neurosurgeon, one of only two hundred or so women among the alpha males who dominate this high-pressure, high-prestige medical specialty. She is also a superbly gifted writer–witty, insightful, at once deeply humane and refreshingly wry. In Another Day in the Frontal Lobe, Dr. Firlik draws on this rare combination to create a neurosurgeon’s Kitchen Confidential–a unique insider’s memoir of a fascinating profession.Neurosurgeons are renowned for their big egos and aggressive self-confidence, and Dr. Firlik confirms that timidity is indeed rare in the field. “They’re the kids who never lost at musical chairs,” she writes. A brain surgeon is not only a highly trained scientist and clinician but also a mechanic who of necessity develops an intimate, hands-on familiarity with the gray matter inside our skulls. It’s the balance between cutting-edge medical technology and manual dexterity, between instinct and expertise, that Firlik finds so appealing–and so difficult to master. Firlik recounts how her background as a surgeon’s daughter with a strong stomach and a keen interest in the brain led her to this rarefied specialty, and she describes her challenging, atypical trek from medical student to fully qualified surgeon. Among Firlik’s more memorable cases: a young roofer who walked into the hospital with a three-inch-long barbed nail driven into his forehead, the result of an accident with his partner’s nail gun, and a sweet little seven-year-old boy whose untreated earache had become a raging, potentially fatal infection of the brain lining. From OR theatrics to thorny ethical questions, from the surprisingly primitive tools in a neurosurgeon’s kit to glimpses of future techniques like the “brain lift,” Firlik cracks open medicine’s most prestigious and secretive specialty. Candid, smart, clear-eyed, and unfailingly engaging, Another Day in the Frontal Lobe is a mesmerizing behind-the-scenes glimpse into a world of incredible competition and incalculable rewards.
