On the language of "transparency"...

Quote for the Day: Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Teaching your client companies how to conduct a search

So understand that this is about helping your companies understand what we’ve been teaching our candidates since the 2001 downturn in the IT market, and that is how to conduct a job search.

We’ve all had candidates that were unemployed and they all…

If You Sign Up, Show Up

I recently participated in an annual conference where the usual suspects attended. What became apparent early on was the lack of enthusiasm from both the members and the business partners. Granted,

attentive. Unfortunately, some were not even dressed appropriately.…
