Resume Designing - Is it lying?

I have been debating résumé designing with a close colleague who has been in a very difficult employment situation. This colleague has an abundance of experience across a number of industries but has recently found themselves at a crossroad. Faced with the challenge of determining if they want to remain in the same profession and line of business (Corporate/Government), or return to their previous… Continue

Working & living in the Czech Republic - An Irish girls move to Brno

An Irish girl in Brno, an English man in New York - same same but different!

I first moved to the Czech Republic in January of this year from Ireland and arrived on a (hip-high!) snowy Sunday evening. My first thoughts were, like all expats I suppose, "what am I doing here!" Well, before I go on, I am happy to report that despite my initial, normal fears, life here was well worth the risk to make the move.

I took the decision to leave Ireland at the end of December 2009 as… Continue

Client Not Paying Me- Suggestions Please

I met with my new Travel client 4 months ago in NYC, the appointment was set up by email.

The meeting went well so I thought, they needed my services they are a small French.Travel Agency.

This was strange she did not call me on the phone, I like to talk on the phone at least once before a meeting.

I decided to take a chance and meet her so I did.

She made me link to her Facebook account before the placement was made she contacted me mostly by email. I thought it was nice so… Continue

My #trulondon - Random thoughts and ramblings

I wanted to wait a few weeks till I wrote my blog on what my takeaways were from #trulondon to let them sink in properly. For me, it was a great event. Logistically, we had a few problems and hands up, we made a few cock ups that we need to get right, mostly around communication and things like coffee and lunches. We have learnt plenty of lessons, and for that side of the event ,I would score 4/10. We went in to the event without a plan B, and when things didn’t quite work out we came a bit…

Thoughts from the Cottonwood Tree 2 miles S. W. of Jackass Flats, USA America

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a…

Inverse Recruiting for "The Greatest Employee in the World"

Hey Team,

I'll be honest here, I don't know much about recruiting. What I do know more than my fair share about is job hunting. Although, now that I think about it, I could sum up all that knowledge pretty easily with two little words...

It sucks.

In today's world of Craigslist, Monster and CareerBuilder the 21 million Americans that faced unemployment last year… Continue

How to follow up after the telephone interview

In today’s economy, there are a lot of people applying for the few jobs available. I know this because I’m one of the people doing the applying.

My question is: How long should I wait after a first telephone interview before concluding the employer isn’t interested in me?

Let’s assume I’ve already sent an appropriate thank you note and called a couple days after to confirm it was received (I do). What then?

On the one hand, I don’t want to be pestering the… Continue

The Secret Law of Business Attraction

I've come to the conclusion that most of life is just like dating--the job search, climbing the corporate ladder, or working as a consultant. Generally speaking in life everyone is out to make a connection, a sale, more money, or their soul mate. The law of attraction is widely accepted and thought of in a romantic context. And since most business relationships require a form of emotion, attraction,…

New Year = New Job(s)

Be Thankful for your Problems

In my “book” the holidays (and not simply the one we most recently celebrated) are a time for reflection and giving thanks in more ways than one. I try every year to take time alone and with my family (especially with my children) to reflect on how blessed we are. This can be challenging during the rush of the season and the many “priorities” imposed as a result of expectations we generally put on ourselves. Add to that my children, who… Continue

Home Again: "Life's A Climb-But the View Sure is Great!"

"Life's A Climb-But the View Sure is Great!"-Mylee Cyrus-Hannah Montana The Movie

It was a year and a half ago, where I wrote my first blog on RecruitingBlogs.com when the forum was just getting started. It was 6 months ago, where the economy stole me away from my true career aspirations in staffing, where my heart and soul have been forged and honed. Here I stand in the midst of the… Continue

The Hub - Focus

Okay, Okay, I know that I have not posted in the last couple of weeks. In my experience, blogging is something that you need to get into the habit of doing and once you do it regularly, you will enjoy it. If you don't do it regularly, then you find it hard to start again!

I have experienced a couple of similar scenario's recently.

1) Walking

Last winter, when I started working at a regular office again, within 2 miles from home, I was… Continue

Over the last 10 years, the £26bn UK industry has been saturated by small entrepreneurial businesses looking for a slice of the action.
