I've re-branded!

Law of attraction and obtaining a new position.

I have been using the law of attraction to obtan employment. The first time I used it, I visualized the type of employment that I wanted to have right down to having a ladies room located directly across from my office. I made my list and checked it twice and left the rest up to the Universe to deliver. Long story, short, I received a phone call 3 weeks after making my list and most of the things that I wanted for my next gig were offered to me. I interviewed for the position and was offered… Continue

Today's bargains can cloud future hiring decisions

Everyone loves a bargain, but when hiring talented professionals it can sometimes come back to bite you as you continue to grow your staff. We recently worked with a client that has experienced just such a problem and the fix is hard to swallow.

Originally they weren’t able to offer top dollar salaries, but because of the strong growth and current technology they’re jobs were… Continue
