If you are a Recruiter and have listed your job openings and the skills you are looking for within your LinkedIn profile, chances are, sometimes you receive messages offering a job as a JavaScript programmer or a SAP consultant. Annoying! That happens because you have those keywords on the profile; someone found you in search and forgot to review your profile. It's NOT a good practice sending messaging to people who are not qualified. However, they will not have found you in the…

I’m not in a good mood right now. I'm pissed to put it bluntly.

Unemployment is no fun unless you are independently wealthy. Even then, it’s kind of a bummer because, if you were fired, you feel rejected. Plus, even if you did not love your job, you really wanted to leave on your terms – by turning in your notice because you had another job. And, given the competition for jobs today, along with the need to eat, it is a good idea…
