We hear a lot about creating talent management strategies, engaging your employees, retention, quality of hire, and how all of these are essential to run a successful and profitable business. These ideas aren’t new, and are at the core of how HR and Recruiting have added value throughout organizations big and small for years, but [...]

Writing a resume can be challenging, and you probably get tons of varying advice from lots of different people. There really isn’t one way to write a resume, but there are a lot of ways to write an incorrect one. Take bits and pieces of the advice you get, and mold that advice into your own style and resume. I’ll cover the basics (cover letter, summary, technical skills section, professional experience, education, and font/formatting), but don’t be afraid to add your own touch beyond the basics.

Ahh, my poor bro-in-law, on the streets looking for a job again. I feel for him. He’s a college grad, but came out of college at a terrible time, and has bounced around from temp job to temp job for a while. He has a little experience in the mortgage biz now, but has the [...]

I have to tell you, I’m overwhelmed. I’m doing all I can to keep up with Twitter, Facebook, my blog, my daily tasks at work, my friends and family, exercizing, my golf game (which sucks right now), etc. It really is getting difficult to find time for everything. I’m balancing on the tight rope of [...]

I was just on “vacation” a few months ago, and started thinking about how much I really don’t use vacation when I’m on vacation. If you’re like me, you’re constantly sucked in by work, no matter if you’re on vacation or at home eating dinner with the family. If duty calls (literally), so be it. [...]

I think this is a valid question everyone needs to think about. I for one, tell it how it is. I think in the end it’s a good thing. However, I bring this question up because of a few recent situations at work and in life. Being a recruiter, you talk with multiple people on [...]

I’ve been following Paul DeBettignies and a few others on Twitter recently, and have seen a few of their blog posts about running into people giving bad advice. There’s one person in particular that’s creating some buzz in the blogosphere recently. I don’t want to drive traffic to her site, but I think some of [...]

I love this topic, I think it’s extremely important, especially in a down economy. If you’re not familiar with personal branding, I suggest you get familiar. What is personal branding you ask? Simply put, you (and your career) are a product, and you need to learn how to define, market/sell, and ultimately profit from that [...]

I think any experienced, senior recruiter in the IT business should not have to use a job board. Looking at the shear numbers of job postings in the last year, there has been a significant decrease. A January 2009 stat from Indeed.com indicated that besides education and healthcare, job postings in all other industries were [...]

There are a lot of different ideas, questions, and discussions going around about resumes and cover letters, so I thought I’d jump in the mix. I’ve seen literally tens of thousands of resumes in my day, some terrible, some great. But all are different. My brother in-law is a recent college graduate, so I’ve been [...]
