However this might not be as easy as it sounds, some people are not even fortunate enough to reach the level of interview processes and fail to find a career.

The most important thing about finding your first job is to be realistic. You must not look…

Social Media as Part of a Balanced Diet

Even though hiring has slumped over the last couple of years, social media recruiting has been a hot topic and continues to gain traction. Many recruiters are already finding candidates through LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Other recruiters are still at the very early stage of understanding social media for recruiting. Guess what – it’s OK. If that’s you, you are really not that far behind.

Hiring is showing signs of life and it will become more critical to dip your toe and maybe… Continue

Being a new blogger myself (I think that's what we're called) all I can say Mark is...

Bloody Well Put! (Big Smiley Face would go here if I ever figure out how to add graphics)

It is a Strange New World but if you can grow a thick enough skin, and avoid some of the bigger, badder bullies, it seems to be well worth it.

Are you ready? The job seekers market is about to explode.

Last few years were pretty tough on the American workforce. You could separate all people into two main groups: those who had a job and those who didn't.

Majority of those who had a job were just happy to have one and stick with it, no matter how much they were interested in doing something else or moving to a different company. Because more people were willing to trade their ambitions for a steady paycheck, the job satisfaction indicator fell to record low 45% by the end of… Continue

Know Your Blogging Etiquette or Face the Hounds..

Ok, So we all have to start somewhere and I have recently launched myself into the blogging sphere and not without a few bruises along the way!! It seems that there is a protocol when it comes to the blogging world, but a protocol that you are not warned or advised about, it's similar to going on a roller-coaster for the first time and hitting a peak at the top with a vertical drop, nobody told you it was going to be there you just had to… Continue

3 C's: FREE Job Seeker Resources

We all need a little simplicity in the job search, right? While some have really figured this out, many websites and resources have brought more complexity than simplicity. Let’s call it “simplexity”. I took this idea and broke down job seeker resources into three basic categories: Career Services, Corporate, and… Continue

Lights, Camera, Resume!

For those of you that don’t know, I love going to see a good movie at the theater. A few nights ago, I went to see Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Without giving any of the movie away, there was important dialogue continually brought up throughout the film that revolved around the power of an idea. While it starts out as something very small and unique to its creator, it’s… Continue

Bad news – There Are No Phone Psychics!

After hearing a few words from a candidate, the recruiter seems to have an uncanny ability to sense and uncover important details or hidden objectives others will not notice until much later in the recruiting process. Often their opinion and projections about individuals turn out to be dead on.…

GM innovative? When it comes to student hiring, yes.

GM hasn't exactly done much to further its reputation for innovation in the past few years, but there's one area where the company has shown a surprising willingness to try innovative new approaches: student recruiting. Recognizing that the traditional approach of sending recruiters on campus visits and then hiring those who could best recite their pre-rehearsed stories during interviews was not necessarily the most effective way to find the talent they needed, GM has taken a new approach of…
