Ignoring these shortcomings benefits no one and further deepens the divide. I also feel that recruiting is, by and far misunderstood, leading to frustration. There are people that hate recruiters and there are recruiters…

I was actually considering that to be the entirety of this article. Not out of laziness or anything. I just wanted people to know what it was like to be thoroughly confused.
And no, this article isn't a complain piece. For the most part. Although if most of the comments are complaints, I don't think anyone would argue.
For those of you…

We've all been there...getting ready to hit the beach and you look at the clock. 2pm...You're good. It's late enough to go without sunscreen, right? I make this mistake every summer. Twice. At least.

Let me start by saying this. I love LinkedIn. I LOVE IT. According to my profile, I have been a member since August 30, 2005. So I’m coming up on 12 years. I was super psyched when I got that fancy little “500+” symbol.

If you've ever been to Walt Disney World or Disneyland, you know that customer service is paramount to Disney. Yes, you may wait in line for 200 minutes to check out the latest rides, even if it turns out to be a 5 minute psychedelic version of "It's A Small World." With flying jellyfish (I'm looking at you Avatar). But it is a guarantee that every single…
