leave. Just last week I stumbled upon an article by Kris Dunn

confirming the fact the employees don't leave for more money. Employees

stay for the people and connections they have made, the challenges…

Die Resume! Die! Die! Die!

This week we visit Second Life to attend TMP's first UK virtual careers fair. We're walked around TMP's UK Island by Phil Owers, TMP Deputy MD, and speak to some job seekers about their…

The Republican Party never felt right even when I was 10 (about the time I decided on what I was). I would rate my ethics high, which means I could not be a part of anything that took from others, destroyed land or resources for my own profit, and put myself above anything or anyone else. I try not to destroy other living things because they are not convenient to me. I believe that everything has intrinsic value (I do draw the line at certain vermin and noxious weeds). Maybe because of these…

Last week was the ERE conference in Washington DC. It was a real success and people had fun. One of the things that has become a regular occurrence is the charity poker event. Over 10K was raised for the ERE

Foundation and I am honored to have been a part of it.

Hats off to Dave Manaster who every single time we do this, pays for the…

It justifies our strategies and therefore, our clients' actions. After all, a company is defined by their talent. Interestingly enough, I came

across a great post recently on making good first…

Having crossed over enemy lines, I see both sides of the recruiting game with much more clarity than before. I liken it to being in a smoke-filled room, with a strobe light and all the sudden, the house lights come on and everything looks much different than before. All the strange and wonderful people that were on the dance floor suddenly become much more average. The atmosphere has changed from one of mystery and darkness to one of clear light and reality.
