It's easy to fall victim to...

It's easy to conform to the worlds many winding roads.

Wouldn't you rather be the path that has many intersections to decide what is good for you?

Don't let yourself become so off track that you lose yourself, is it worth it?

I think not, when planning is not an issue and goals aren't either then you're in trouble!

Remember to follow your path and make a left or a right from time to time, but never take that steep incline, becaue you'll be trying to get back on…

Offboarding - the rules for professionally resigning from your company

In today’s market place where you may work remotely on a virtual team and your boss may be hundreds if not thousands of miles away people are struggling with just how to resign professionally. OK some aren’t, but they’re the ones who will type “I QUIT” on a piece of paper with a 72 font size and sign their name. So we won’t listen to them since we’re trying to not burn any bridges and we would prefer to have people say good things about us after we’re long gone.

Charlie's Angels or T-Mobile Recruiting?

I was in Chicago most of this week in training. Since a lot of the team was there we managed to get a picture on the last day (thanks Carrie for bringing your camera!).

After the picture, a guy yelled at me from across the parking lot, saying -

"Hey, it looks like you're making a Charlie's Angels…

On "Recruiter, re-tool thyself"...

Quote for the Day: Friday, July 27th, 2007

"The solution is that we need to re-engineer the thinking of the recruiters. In my experience many of them believe they have to always

be in control. This has had its' down side it alienates and infuriates

candidates, it drags out the recruitment process which adds costs and

it frustrates the company that is trying to fill a position. Why can't

we make positive changes to this… Continue

The Career News Says "Simple"

Ever since I met a few recruiters, I've looked at some of these e-mails with suspicion. Really? How easy is it? I'd love to know how recruiters feel about e-mails like these ... here are the opening graphs:

"It's simple. To get a job, the people looking to hire someone like you have to know you exist, be aware of your skills and know how to contact you. Well, maybe not so simple. Assuming you have a resume that effectively represents your skills and abilities, then the next logical… Continue

Wanna Play?

I am about the only geek on this blog that raves about the gaming industry. But honestly, how can you ignore a 10 billion dollar industry that is expected to grow to 25 billion in the next five years. Companies are hard pressed to find people who can do the work. Plus, Game Conferences, like the GDC, are shifting a lot of their focus from new game products to careers in gaming. And,Game Conferences are growing… Continue

On educating tomorrows workforce and the poor getting poorer...

Quote for the Day: Thursday, July 26th

"Our education system is driving a massive wedge between the upper and lower classes in America, splitting the middle class between those willing to mortgage their futures to get into the right school district and those who either can’t afford, or think it is imprudent, to take that kind of risk. The fault line that is being created by a lack of corporate recruiting competence is leaving the poor completely behind. They can’t… Continue

Good Recruiting and Job Domain Names Have Value

Lately, I have been keeping the domain name info off the main page here and putting it in the domain name group I set up but I figured this is too good to only share with the 13 people who are members of that group.

I just saw that Resume.com sold for $300k
