In the premier issue of TODAY'S ENGINEER, read former EE TIMES' Profession Editor Bob Bellinger's article on stealth job hunting -- how you can be among the most desirable candidates by *not* actively pursuing a new position through the IEEE's new job site to be activated in February. In the same 'zine, go to CPA Michele Riley's article on how to evaluate stock options as part of a corporate package in today's more volatile stock market. Further, IEEE Senior Research Historian Rik Nebeker looks at how neon lighting has lit up popular culture. And IEEE Member and author Todd Yuzuriha explains how to use humor effectively in the workplace.
In the premier issue of POLICY PERSPECTIVES, IEEE Life Fellow Jack Casazza seeks member support in shaping electric power policy. In the same 'zine, a reader poll requests opinions on the relevance to U.S. plants of the Japanese concept of *kaizen* that encompasses total quality control, continuous process improvement, error-free production, and just-in-time delivery. In addition, IEEE-USA's public policy agenda for the 107th Congress is detailed. And a Reader Feedback section includes several letters from IEEE members on what the PE license means for engineers.
