Where there’s a will there’s a way. Your job, as a leader, is to pave the way.

A desire to change is never enough. That’s why companies have leaders. A leader’s job is to marry intentions with execution.

It’s been said that “the road to hell is paved with good…

We experienced a case recently where a candidate handed in their notice in and accepted another role,…

1.Tell me about yourself

The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.

2. Why did you leave your last…

If you can take any comfort from the perennial worry of how to find, attract and select the best candidates, it's that you are not alone.

But somehow, HRs are losing their presence and often left ignored in most of the organisation.…

Veterans Day, is a day to say thanks to all those who served, so we could be free. During this time I would ask everyone to go that extra mile to help a Veterans find employment. While Veteran unemployment is down, it is still way to high. So I would ask we go the extra mile, I would ask you to do “MORE”. I know some might think we do not have to do anything,…
