Topic: Single Cheese, Everything No Onions: before I proceeded on to work. I hate this feeling, I dread the telling lump that occurs in my throat when I realize how much money is about to be drained from my wallet. I happily drive a little Honda that gets excellent gas mileage, but $4.23 a gallon hurts no matter what it is you drive. Back in 1981, I drove a little maroon convertible Fiat. It cost me less than $10 to fill it up and a fill-up would last about five days; I still lived with my folks but drove 38 miles each way to college. I was taking about 15 units and they were intensive: microbiology, behavioral science, communications, oral anatomy. Too much homework for me to hold a job, though I worked sometimes on the weekends with my mom teaching baton lessons. My mom used to give me $25 a week to survive on. $10 - $15 went in the gas tank and the rest I used for lunches or snacks. Going to school was my job; it was important for me to get good grades, graduate, and get a job. As I look back on that time, it was just so simple. My keen responsibilities were to attend my classes, do my homework, clean the bathroom on Saturdays and give help where needed around the house. I don't even like to catalogue what I have to think about now and what my current daily responsibilities are. We forget the changes and growth because we are a part of it. Time can't slow - to keep up, we just move faster in an effort to slow time down. Kind of convoluted when you think about it. I survived on a shoestring; the important things became evident as money became scarce. It's not quite the same as absence makes the heart grow fonder for during tight times, needs supersede wants. I needed to have enough gas to get back and forth to school. I needed to have a little extra cash for impromptu school requirments and lunch. It wasn't long and I was packing a brown bag to take to college in the form of leftovers in Tupperware and peanut butter sandwiches. Lunches in the form of fast food or a deli sandwich soon became a luxury, a want not a need. And with that realization came the uncanny ability to taper costs. The ongoing recession has reminded me once again about needs and wants. I need to be healthy. I need to have gas so I can get to work so that I might afford to feed and clothe my teen-aged children. Movies and nights out are a luxury - a want. I need to keep credit cards clear and debt low. Shopping for new clothes or clean-burning expensive candles are my favorite kind of wants. But they are just that, wants. Every single day, I receive a resume or two in my inbox with a request to review and forward to anyone that might be hiring or recruiting or to simply make suggestions to the job seeker. Times are still shaky, we haven't licked this yet. So giving back when I can is good, I forget my wants when I see someone else's need. I remember when a single cheese, everything no onions was a treat. Maybe someday, that simplicity will thrive be again. by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 2:34am on June 2, 2011

Topic: 5 Symptoms of Applicant Tracking Software Disease: f resumes efficiently is a huge lifeline to hiring professionals, allowing them to institute more efficient and better-directed processes. However, like any computer program, an applicant tracking system can become weak, infected and outdated over time. The job market is changing, along with the expectations from both employers and candidates. To meet shifting demands, hiring experts need advanced tools designed to meet today’s challenges while finding opportunities to make more and better candidate matches. Consider whether your current recruitment system is at risk by looking for these five symptoms. 1. Your matches have no pulse “Tools that draw on artificial intelligence enable smarter, faster decisions.” Applicant tracking systems are designed to pick out keywords, ranking candidates on the basis of the skills and experience they have listed on their resumes. While this approach is far more efficient than searching through each document by hand, it also has limitations. If you’re having trouble finding people who possess the right combination of education and on-the-job background in the field, the next generation of staffing software may be the cure. Tools that draw on artificial intelligence and machine learning enable smarter, faster decisions. Applying a broader range of criteria to your searches while drawing distinctions between the essential skills and the qualifications that you’d like to see in a candidate will reveal exciting possibilities for your next hire. 2. Scheduling new hires makes you fatigue Preparing calendars for employees across multiple sites can become a complex and difficult process for staffing professionals. For those who find themselves spending hours working out how to meet the needs of employers while also taking into account any requests for adjustments, new software may provide an answer. Auto-scheduling simplifies your workflow and maximizes worker utilization. 3. Employees suffer from tardiness Not every employee can be counted on to show up on time each day, and it’s important for hiring professionals to know if someone is missing hours. With enhanced visibility, you can find out when someone is consistently late due to a long commute or some other reason and take appropriate steps. A real-time mapping feature allows staffers and recruiters to check on the location of workers and ensure that they arrive at the worksite on time. 4. Hiring passive candidates gives you the fever Sometimes, a potential new hire is comfortable in a current position and not actively searching for a new one. It often takes extra effort to locate and place one of these individuals into a new role that fits his or her top-level background. However, software that’s specifically designed to aid a social recruiting strategy by discovering the best person for a job and getting in touch keeps this process running far more smoothly without an uncontrollable change in body temperature. 5. Payroll and compliance headaches When it comes to managing temporary and contingent labor, hiring professionals may find themselves with a heavy migraine. It’s a heavy load of responsibility to ensure all workers have the necessary training, they are not spending too much time in hazardous conditions and they promptly receive the correct payment. A system that erases the manual paperwork like Hiring Logistics in payroll and compliance frees up hiring professionals to focus on their other important duties.…; Added by Kevin Ko at 4:01pm on July 5, 2017
