Mr Cellophane?

Internal Recruiters are the Mr (or Ms or Miss or Mrs) Cellophane's of the corporate world, the poor cousin of the HR team. Like the old adage internal recruiters should be seen and not heard. (I disagree by the way, I've just seen this ideal a bit)

Your part of the company, but not really. You don't build or sell the widgets, you don't set policy, you don't deliver the business solutions to clients. You don't actually make money for the company, you… Continue

Thankful in CA

Its been a challenging year for me and through it all, I can truly say I'm thankful.

I have terrific friends and family members who give me encouragement and support. My brother in Conn. is paying to fly me out to his home for Christmas. My friends have listened to my personal and business "woes."

And just yesterday, I received word that one client plans to make an offer this week to one of my candidates (who is prepared to accept the offer), and another client will likely… Continue

Thankful

This was originally posted on the site I do my blogging regularly - called Adoptivefamiles.com and when I saw that people were doing it here, it made me want to participate as well. This one is not geared as much towards adoption or infertility so I thought it was worthwhile to share with this community - hope you enjoy!

In honor of Thanksgiving, some of my Facebook friends have been playing the 'Facebook Status Thankful Game,' where we post a status to reflect what we are… Continue

Reflections on the unconference TruLondon

Today was an auspicious event: Trulondon an unconference planned by Bill Boorman, and his merry band of geniuses. I have admired Bill from afar because he embodies something sorely missing from the industry of recruiting: a heart of gold.

It has been an honor to participate in Bill’s blogradio show over the past… Continue

A picture is worth 1000...

If a picture is worth 1000 words, then what does a poorly lit, slightly blurry, badly cropped, taken with a camera phone image say about a networker? I think that in most cases it probably says, “I am new to social networking and am just trying to figure this out. It was the only one I had, and I was trying to build my profile while keeping the kids from shaving the cat with my husband’s electric razor” But I am an optimist and willing to give a person the benefit of the doubt. There is another… Continue

Unemployed? Stop Wasting Your Time.

Unemployed? Stop Wasting Time.

written by Margo Rose

The job search process is at times daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. When I was an outplacement consultant I suggested the following concepts to my clients. Looking for a job is like a competitive event. The job search athletes who learn to employ the best strategies shorten their transition time and win.

The five best practices that most professionals employ include:

* Networking

HR-Thanksgiving-My Gratitude List

23rd November 2009 written by Margo Rose

For those of us in HR-every day-is one to give thanks. Passionate about my work, writing gives me an outlet for my creativity.

Many people, like myself, find themselves unemployed right before the holidays. It’s hard to give thanks during a recession. Transition has its challenges. However, I can find so many things for which I can give thanks.

1) Regardless of what I lose, I will… Continue

Employer Brand … and why your foosball table doesn’t matter

Lots of people are talking about employer branding these days. While I agree that all companies should be conscious of how they are viewed by employees and prospective employees, I think many branding efforts are misdirected and a plain waste of money and effort.

It’s not about how many people think you’re great. It’s who, and why.

Brains over beans

I work with young tech companies who, by their very nature, are selective in who they employ. Most really are… Continue

The Gift of (Thanks)GIVING

In just a few days we will be joining family and friends to sit around a table and appreciate the many blessings we have. But, what are your REALLY doing to share with others who don’t have as much as you? What legacy are you teaching your children about what Thanksgiving really means? What are you teaching strangers about the gift of giving and random kindness? What are you teaching yourself about not putting yourself first?

Growing up, each and every year we volunteered to… Continue

Are you too scared to find a job? This isn’t Amway and you need to get active!

If you are looking for a job, you must pull out all the stops. Can you relate to any of these scenarios:

Giving Thanks

What am I thankful for? Lot’s of things including a satisfying job, great colleagues and the opportunity to surround myself with the kind of people in this community…..but my 12 year old grandson wrote about the most important things in my life. The heart of everything that inspires me to success in business.

He is writing his bio for a school project. It’s a school-year long effort and he just got to the part about his mom, my daughter’s heritage. I loved it and I’m so thankful that… Continue
