On personal brand…

“You're hired, you report to work, you join a team -- and you immediately start figuring out how to deliver value to the customer. Along the way, you learn stuff, develop your skills, hone your abilities, move from

$1,500 suits, high-powered laptops, and… Continue

YouTube killed the Radio Star?

Last month I blogged about YouTube Advertising becoming mainstream, while asking the inevitable employment brandingquestion “When are employers going to join the mainstream?“. I then ended the post by throwing a proverbial line in the water asking for YouTube demographic information, hoping for a bite… Not only did I receive numbers from our friends at HitWise, but information from a Goo-Tuber, and the following comScore…

On preaching to the choir...

"Repeated exposure to one person's viewpoint can have almost as much influence as exposure to shared opinions from multiple people.

This finding shows that hearing an opinion multiple times increases the

recipient's sense of familiarity and in some cases gives a listener a false

sense that an opinion is more widespread then it actually is."

I have a webcam @ my desk!

This could get interesting...as soon as I learn how to use it! Live video job postings and updates right from my very own cube. How convenient! I'm even up for doing webcam interviews instead of over the phone. Oh how I love my job!

What's your motivation??

I recruit recruiters. During the interview process, one of the most

important things that I look for is what drives them to be great, to be

better than the day before, to graduate from college, to look for a new

job, to enjoy their friends, to workout, to do a cross-word puzzle, to

simply wake up in the morning. It's not a question that I ask during

the interview, because then I'd get some cookie-cutter answer shoved

down my throat and they'd figure out how to… Continue

Recruiting Pet Peeves

Here are a list of pet peeves I have while recruiting.

1.Musical voicemail-If I have to hear your demo tape, or how smooth you are, or hear a sermon i usually check out

2. When a candidate applies for the job, the recruiter calls him/her and the applicant acts like they can't be bothered

3. An applicant who leaves me a message with just their first name, no phone number and no reason to call them back

4. Creative email addresses..I once had a guy go off on me…

I have never really used a Mac except once in a blue moon when I would hop on one in a local coffee shop. After playing with it for a few days, I realized not only that I love it but…

On competitive advantage in the war for talent...

"Your challenge, if you want to build long term profitability and competitive advantage is not to engage in an undifferentiated, scorched-earth war for talent. Instead you need to make sure you hire as many talented people who fit your culture as possible, then use your systems, supervisors and your culture to help them become as effective as possible."

I'm all about social networking, but will someone please create a

website where I can sign into all of my profiles at once?!?! I had to

create a spreadsheet just to keep up with them all. I came across Ning

The End.
