Not just for women
Globes, Enable Column, 25 December 2001
By Michael Neuvirth

Gender-specifics aside, High Tech Women.com is timely, practical and useful to anyone in business, covering topics that are hard to find anywhere else.

Today’s Enable looks at a website that is filled with didactic articles on a wide range of useful subjects. The articles are very helpful to anyone in business. In fact, some of the articles cover topics that are hard to find anywhere else. The articles are both timely and provide practical and useful advice.
The articles can be found on a site called High Tech Women. I am sure that many potential users of the site are put off by the name – figuring that the site deals only with issues concerning women in high tech. Nothing could be further from the truth. The site deals with business issues that concern both men and women and hopefully more and more men and women will start reading them.

I strongly urge you to review all of the articles, and I have provided highlights of some of the articles I thought were beneficial or that were hard to find anywhere else.

Building Better Beta Sites
This article is a primer on beta sites and should be read by anyone who currently is involved in a beta, or who is planning one. This is one of the very few articles on the subject available and you should take the time to read it very carefully.
Thinking Straight in the Era of Increased Redundancies/Layoffs
This article tells you that no matter what you think you are not immune from being laid off or fired. The article tells you how to react if you are indeed fired or laid off and lays out the key issues you need to know when it happens. The best thing about the article is that it tells you that this might be the best thing that could have happened to you.
The Art of Recruitment
Even in these uncertain times, we still need to hire new employees and this article provides highly detailed steps to ensure that you recruit the best possible candidate for the job.
Conferences – When to Attend, and When To Pass
All of us want to go to conferences, but none of us have the time or the resources to attend them all. This article shows you how to evaluate which conferences to attend and how to get the most out of the ones you go to.
Community, Trust and Good Service.com
If you want more and more users to return to your website, then this article is a must-read.

I would like to wish all Enable readers a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
