1st RecruitingBlogs.com Contest

I was lucky again to have won the last ERE Foundation Charity poker

tournament. There will be more, don’t worry. Because of my victory, I was able

I want to have a contest now to see if we can come up with some great

recruiting content for the next week. The winner of the contest will

win a… Continue

Three Steps and a Breather

I don't think I've taken a four day break from blogging since I started this gig in '04.

However, being on the road last week put me three steps behind, so I've enjoyed taking a breather to catch up.

So, I got my three steps* back and I'm ready to roll.

More T-Mo jobs comin' next week - stay tuned.

*all that talk about "three steps" takes me back to the 8th grade and this… Continue

Applicant Tracking Software

Hi All,

available and I was encouraged to build a product for the market.

Secrets to Success...I got them!

There truly is a "secret to success". 1. Get up early 2. Work Hard 3. Find Oil

There are tons of people who always complain about their job, the long hours they work and that they need more hours in the day to get things done. Having been tired of hearing co-workers complain and whine I realized I had been one of them incognito! It’s just that I did my whining (and my wine-ing) at home. Don't misunderstand me, I loved my job and the people I worked with, but you just can't hire…

I think This CornFlake Has a Face

OK, so first there was a piece of toast with the Virgin Mary's face burnt onto it. And then there was the piece of Nutrigrain that looked like ET. But why couldn't the trend have died there? The whole idea of auctioning off these edible artifacts is getting ridiculous. After spending less than 20 minutes on ebay, without even searching for these items, I came across a piece of "very sad" toast, another nutrigrain ET, a bbq steak the shape of Australia, yet ANOTHER nutrigrain ET, a penis…

Had been running my own graphic design firm for the past 20 somewhat years, hiring anf firing and doing the gamut required to be successful.

Gerry Crispin and Blogs

I had a few drinks with Gerry Crispin

this evening. He was in Toronto doing work. Every time I get a few

hours with him, and lately it has been quite a bit, I always walk away

with a sense that anyone can really do anything or that anyone can

change the things around them.

I usually have to hold myself back when talking with people who know

things about things I am interested. Once I was at a wedding and I… Continue
