Thank You Notes -- Write 'em, Twice

What's the best way to send a Thank You note after an interview? The big debate -- should you send an email, or go the traditional route and hand write a note?

The best approach is both. Candidates like the immediacy of sending an email thanking the interviewer for their time. However, we all know that this is seen as impersonal at best; and at worst it's seen as the easy way out. Handwritten notes are always appreciated, but the

downside is that it can take several days to work…

New Year's Resolutions

We all set them. And most of the time, fail miserably. That's because we focus on the grandiose versus aiming for the realistic. When you think about what 2008 will bring for your organization, you must

keep in mind what is reasonably obtainable, and at the same time,

Recruiter or HR Executive, are you setting yourself up to succeed or

fail? Are your objectives designed to meet the business and HR…

Got Flowers???

What a wonderful surprise! Today I received flowers from someone that I recruited. Her name is Karen Lee and I placed her at Mary Kay in a Business Analyst position back in November. I had sent her a card in December just to touch base with her and she responded with sending me gorgeous flowers! I have been recruiting for 9 years and have never received flowers from someone I recruited. This has made my day, heck...maybe even my whole year! Thanks Karen! :)

Sales Recruiter Featured on ESPN!

OK - so I wasn’t actually "featured" on ESPN, but my email has been blowing up for the last hour or so because I was just on ESPN for the second time in less than a year.

Specifics for China in 2008

A lack of specificity is not something I am normally accused of.

But recently I had a conversation with someone who asked for much more, specifics that is. So here is a bullet-point-specific-article on China, and about what you can expect to see if you have to come here to do HR or recruitment in 2008. It might get you up to speed quicker than a narrative.

Prepare, Prepare and Prepare Some More

As someone who has interviewed many people over the years, I can tell you that it is obvious to the interviewer which applicants have properly prepared for the interview, which applicants have prepared a little, and who hasn't prepared at all.

Thanks to the Internet, you don't need to put in a huge amount of effort to dig up useful information in preparation for your interview. Focus on researching three categories of information:

  1. The company
