ERNIE ain't what it used to be

Looks like it's Ruffle Feather Monday here in Dieselville. This morning I read Interbiznet's ERNIE which has been so finely written by crusty ol' John "I'm contemplating my navel" Sumser since 1996 or so. Today's topic was another fawning piece by a supposed member of the new Rat Pack… Continue

Free Usage ATS Trial

While the post was specifically intended for a time limited trial, I want to extend the post to include topics regarding a different form of ATS test drive offered by vendors. This offer revolves around a completely free model of usage.

The word “free” has reigned champion as the number one attention getter for quite some time. I almost always review offers that land within my general or… Continue

Dear Employer, Thanks for the offer - but I don't want to be your "first"......

Dear Employer,

Thank you for the consideration you have given me. I can only imagine the amount of effort you have put into saving yourself for someone special in my field. I know there are many recruiters who have come along giving you more than a few reasons to not trust any of us. So again - thank you for seeing something in my and giving me the opportunity to be your "first" recruiter.

Unfortunately I can not accept that responsibility. Over the years I have had…

Job Search Tip: What can a recruiter do for you?

Since I’ve discussed with you before how to work with recruiter and the best ways for you to attract the attention of a recruiter, I thought I’d add one more thing, just so we’re all on the same page…for you to understand the role a recruiter plays in your job search, you need to understand that I work for the client company, not for you. That doesn’t mean working with a medical sales recruiter isn’t an asset for you in your search for a medical sales job, such as a biotech sales job, clinical… Continue

Thirty-three percent of U.S. companies allow employees to telecommute

By MICHELLE GOODMAN

June 19, 2008

This year's skyrocketing gas prices are enough to make even the most diehard office suck-ups fantasize about finding a job that lets them telecommute. But is finding a new job that lets you work from home a realistic goal or just a pipe dream?

Thirty-three percent of U.S. companies allow employees to telecommute on a part-time basis, while 21 percent allow it full-time, according to the Society for Human Resource… Continue

How to Work a Tradeshow

I had a candidate call me and ask for advice on how to work a tradeshow. He’s looking for a job, and exploring many avenues. He’s already ahead of the game by having a plan, but here’s my advice:

Before the show:

Send out an e-mail to all of your contacts, letting them know what’s going on, that you’ll be at the tradeshow, and that you’re looking for contacts and opportunities. Be specific in what you’re looking for…a sales/marketing/management job in medical sales,… Continue

I attended the 2008 HR Tech Conference and Expo in Chicago last week. I've attended this show, on and off, for almost 11 years now. I haven't been to an HR Tech for 3 years before last week...

It was like I never left. Don Ramer calls this… Continue

The Art of University Hiring

In my experience in helping to set up the recruiting at local universities in my previous job and then working on doing the same for my current organization, I thought it extremely important to share some insights on this. I have been doing this for 4 years, and it is amazing how some companies do this right and some just don't get it. I was answering a question on LinkedIn that prompted this article, so as promised to those who read that response, here is a much more detailed version on… Continue
