    These are good questions, Paul. I don't know the protocol on these, either. In lieu of that, I'd "Golden Rule" it: If it were your blog/comments they were reposting, would you prefer to be notified, or would it be OK to do it without asking? Sometimes my standars are different than for most people, but I try to go in with good intent and say: "If they did that to ME, would I be upset?" and if I say "no" I go ahead (assuming it's not easy just to ask and find out).

    Very good. I'm not even sure what I normally do, but I have no problem if someone wants to borrow/steal my stuff. (Of course, if I were making MONEY off my stuff I might object...)

    Hello Paul,

    Thank you for your comment and thanks for reaching out.

    Blogging in general can be categorized in a wide variety of areas, it all depends on the author. In my case, I use this particular platform as a mirror when I write HR related content on my other blog (www.fastfoodhr.com).

    I don't take a traditional approach to blogging, partly because I write for myself first and readers second. There are a few hard and fast rules that one should try to adhere to when writing blog posts (you learn those along the way...) but I view those rules as more guidelines.

    With respect to your particular questions, I'll try my best to answer.  I was trying to shed light on a subject that I was observing in my own particular situation. That being said, there were some undertones that I usually don't mention overtly (such as corporate politics), but I will usually make mention in a story type format.

    My post was not about common sense, but more about realizing that one of the ways to measure the difference between what I feel are good or great recruiting skills, as opposed to mediocre ones.  The yardstick I often think about is quite simply do you have access to people when you need it. 

    Best,

    John
