Finding stable work in the ever-expanding rental business has become easier than ever. Although the bar is set high in every corner of the US and beyond, more and more companies are opening their doors to interns and fresh graduates who want to try their hands in the rental business.

But how can someone with no real…

There is no denying that doctors have a lot of work to do, as well as quite a bit of paperwork to keep up with. The job of medical scribe was created to assist doctors by doing some of the paperwork so that the doctor can focus more on the patient. Working as a medical scribe is an opportunity for people interested in medicine to learn more and to work one-on-one with a doctor.

As with most jobs, the interview…

My son, who is in middle school, was telling me about his day the other night.  He said, “so we’re in class, Technology and Innovation a.k.a. Wood Shop.”  I asked him what he meant by a.k.a. Wood Shop.  He said that’s what it is.  They basically take blocks of wood and use tools to make things.  Technology and Innovation Class.

Wood Shop has value, but calling it Technology and Innovation Class is sending the wrong message.  We’ve got a real skills gap in this country.  It’s closing,…

One of the easiest, and best ways to increase your business’s revenue and profitability is to sell more services to your existing clients. Cross-selling and up-selling.

Of all the business issues I discuss with my clients, the one that comes up over and over again as a real opportunity area is cross-selling. In fact, I’m yet…

The JOLTS Data is out and shows that job openings have reached a new high.  Not just a blip up, but a new high with a new average high for the trailing 12 months.  In other words, the trend is up.  6.17 million job listings in the US.  That’s a big number.

We also have a record low labor participation rate currently.  Some believe that this indicates that the job openings in general don’t pay enough to lure workers back to work.  If businesses in general are going to have to increase…

Bud Wilkinson, the football coach who led the Oklahoma Sooners to three national championships and 14 conference titles, famously stated, “Morale and attitude are the fundamentals of success.” But that statement refers to more…

When a new technology or strategy is trending, there’s often an assumption that it will help large, Fortune 500 companies the most. After all, they’re the ones with the resources to be early adopters, and most innovations are created with their large environments in mind, right?

Not quite. Today, companies with 10, 100, and 1,000 employees are finding out …

Are you responding to the demands of the market?

Making mistakes on your resume is a sure way to get you overlooked.  Presenting yourself in a less than favorable light will do that as well, but not just on the resume.

Jobvite’s 2016 survey of 1,600 recruiters and HR professional found that 72% of respondents had a negative reaction to typos. Other social media sins include sharing photos of marijuana use (which 71% of respondents couldn’t stand), oversharing in general (60% of respondents weren’t fans), and posting pics of alcohol…

Airlines are complaining about a pilot shortage.  A recent article stated that the shortage is best understood as an obvious manifestation-and perhaps the nadir-of a long-term deprofessionalization of what was once a solidly middle-class career: We made the pilot occupation so unattractive, so tenuous and poorly paid, that people stopped wanting to do it.

That’s how you shrink a candidate pool.

These are exciting times for the recruitment industry. The exponential development of intelligent recruitment technology, a rapidly changing business landscape, and the pressure…

It’s that time of year again.  Fantasy Football.  Seems like it is everywhere.  The popularity of fantasy football shows how fun it is to put together an unrealistic team and to go compete with it.

Falling into that mode in your recruiting program can be a big mistake.  Fantasy teams aren’t real, but great teams are.  You can’t build a dream fantasy team in your business, but you can build a great team that is incredibly productive.  Trying to build a fantasy team in business diverts…

Ah, phone screens! That special time for HR and job applicants to get to know each other over the course of an awkward call.

It’s the hiring equivalent of a phone call before meeting your Tinder match in real life. It’d be nice to get right to dinner and drinks, but first, you have to make sure your…
