With all the extremely difficult jobs you have to fill, you also have to work with either outdated tools or the new tools that don't work and everything in between.

Know what I really hate? When I attend an event expecting original content and I get the same regurgitated ideas from everyone else who speaks on the topic. It’s not only lame but it’s a big ol’ waste of my time. Unfortunately, this happens most often in those “recruiting is marketing” webinars.
