For the past several years I've been putting in a lot of time into learning and sharing people skills (without the bullshit). I'm interested in skills from dealing with your own emotions, through communication with close co-workers to high-stakes negotiating. I'm curious: what are some people skills that you wish you had learned earlier in your career or that you wish your co-workers had easier access to? Also: what are your favorite books and/or other resources that helped you?

Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?
438 by threwawasy1228 | 240 comments on Hacker News.
Just a simple question, I have seen stories of people who were hired based on the job postings threads. Never once have I heard of anyone getting anything other than recruiter spam from the Ask HN: Who wants to be Hired threads. I think it might be useful to hear stories either way. Were you hired after someone contacted you? Did you receive responses that weren't recruiter-spam from your posts there?
