Comment for: Jason C. Blais: ourage your wife to try to get a position with the BS/BA degree first before continuing on to grad-school because what is happening with the current market is a) there are more positions available than people to fill them which is competitive for the job-seeker (aka your wife) and b) the salary difference between entering the market with a BS/BA degree and a MS/MA degree may not be that significant. Long and short, I think that if your wife is open on industry, she can enter the workforce now and be just fine with a BS/BA degree. As an added bonus, I've read more than one article recently that has said that despite the downturn in the economy, the Healthcare industry (including Biotech) continues to be strong.…; Added by Adam Krueger at 3:41pm on November 10, 2008

Comment on: Blog Post 'I am Black and I am Proud': e never not called someone whose resume I encountered because they appeared "too black" or "too asian" or "too whatever". It's just stupid. You can't judge someone's qualifications, personality traits, work ethic, or anything based upon that criteria. It is completely illogical. I understand that there are people out there who probably do this because of personal prejudices and they should not be in the business of hiring people, because they risk losing out on some great employees, which will hurt their company over both the short and long term. I like to think that most people are better than that and I really do believe those who discriminate are in the vast minority these days. Hopefully this completely insane practice of judging people by irrelevant criteria will disappear from our society completely before too long.…; Added by David George at 11:46am on December 15, 2009

Topic: Monster needs a group hug.: r Tremble" really clarifies the situation. Please read it and then comment below. Here are some of the highlights (many have seen this coming for a long time): -> "...frontrunner Monster is losing ground to LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, and even Twitter." -> Elisa Bannon, Director of Talent Acquisition for US Cellular (2,500 open reqs) had her job posting and resume screening budget cut from $4 million to $1 million. -> Even with a One Million Dollar budget, "...the wireless carrier's director of talent acquisition ditched the big job boards and instead inked a deal with social networking site LinkedIn. For an annual fee of $60,000, Bannon's team now has access to the network's 42 million members..." -> "...site [Monster] saw a 31% drop in revenue last quarter." [Ouch] -> "...Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder, ...saw its North American revenue drop 27% in the first quarter." -> [not sure about this example, but...] "Twitter is also gaining traction in the realm of job search. [a recruiter] that needed 40 lawyers immediately ... sent a message—or "tweet"—to her 150 followers, which was re-twittered [re-twittered?!?!? oh my] by legal blogs that follow her. [recruiter allegedly] "...filled every post by lunch." Read the complete article here... there's more interesting info in there. ***Discussion*** So... what do you think about the article? Where do YOU see it all going? What competitive business model do you think will set the new recruiting and sourcing tool standard? Please do read the article and reply below. Be sure to include a short bit about your current position so we all understand your perspective. Good luck out there!! P.S.; I'll refrain from adding my personal opinion as I am building a competitive business model and, therefor, my opinion has a high degree of bias.
