Pests, Competition and Vista as it relates to your career

Welcome to a new week. This is a particularly interesting week because with it, RecruitingBlogs will attend not one, but TWO conferences!

Jason, Josh and Maren will be at Kennedy Onrec in Chicago (starts tomorrow) so if you see us (like, say at the Fail Spectacularly Party), say HI! If you're not attending, Kennedy has partnered with HR.com to livestream the conference right to your desktop. Register here.

Maren will head from Chicago straight to to Louisville for some bourbon, I mean HR Blogging Shenanigans! HREvolution is set to explode on the city. Register here.

On to the posts!

Eric, a new poster, explains the issues with Vista and how you can avoid the same blunders in your own career.

Amitai Givertz graciously and intelligently outlines the week that went before. Check out his rundown of what's hot on RBC and what you may have missed on other blogs.

Well it was a good run. I hope you got your entries for our 20K celebration in before yesterday's deadline. Check back soon for the big winner, who will be heading to Mexico, courtesy of The Newman Group and Futurestep.

Greg Savage, headstrong recruiter, prolific writer and all around RecruitingBlogs member is featured today on Mendoza's Monday Member Showcase. And when you're done reading about him, check out his post on orders given to stimulate competition and why he thinks it's a bad idea.

Simon Meth hits us again with a handy dandy list (print it out) on Ten Ways to Eradicate Pests.

Check out Jason Seiden's guest post (you'll get FREE stuff) on Punk Rock HR.

Oh and don't forget to follow the RecruitingBlogs.com twitter list to hear what's popping into the heads of HR and RecruiterFolk all over the place.

Have a great, awesome, super MONDAY!
