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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Simply put, you (and your career) are a product, and you need to learn how to define, market/sell, and ultimately [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Who knows, that’s my answer….although I’ll keep writing something just because I need to fill up a little more of the page.
I keep in tune with the economy and job market (although I hate the media right now), and I always laugh when people try and make an accurate evaluation of when we’re [...]
