Hey Kris - what a smart idea....just voted. Love it!
The HR Carnival - Annoucing the March Madness Brackets....
Welcome the March Madness version of the HR Carnival! Who's the Cinderella Story going to be? Who's Duke, who's UConn? Who is Butler? Who is Dick Vitale? In the endless quest for themes to freshen this thing up, I think I’ve got a good one – we’re deeming this HR Carnival MARCH MADNESS, a ...
Warren at the inag is like having the Imperial Grand Wizard at an NAACP event. No thanks.
Rick Warren Can Either Come Out of His Closet, or Go Take a Hike
Who the fuck— many of you are asking today — is Rick Warren? And why is he threatening to stink up Obama's inauguration? Well, Obama invited him. He invited this Billy Graham-pretender pastor to give the invocation at the big ball. This is a guy who believes that every abortion is a holocau...
For those on unemployment, contracting is also a great idea because it helps extend your benefits. Your contracting is deducted, but the unemployment runs longer as a result.
How Looking For A Job Is Like Selling Your House
As you might expect, I was thinking this morning about all the people being released from their jobs these days. This economy is driving every company to reconsider the minimum staffing required to succeed and it may have already affected you. So, what's the impact on the market for jobs? ...
Glad to know Angela's job isn't on the line - yet! Nothing could be more painful than firing a relative. This post really made me think about how to best manage working with family members. I think a type of 'biz pre-nup' has to be agreed upon so that there are guiding points for ending the work relationship cleanly if it comes to that.
It's Good to Be King... Until You're Required to Fire the Prince..
One of the good (and bad) things about owning your own small business is that you can hire whomever you want, without all those pesky "employment law" requirements or interviewing/selection "best practices". After all, you're the boss and you know what needs to happen. Right? Of course, for sma...
Kris, people who are seeking to hire a resume writer should absolutely ask what the person's business background is. Just the ability to put words to paper won't result in a quality resume. Here's what to do:
1. Get a clear agreement in advance as to whether the person will even speak with you on the phone - most online resume writers won't.
2. Clarify how many edits you'll get. At a minimum, the writer should deliver the resume and do an edit to meet your needs.
3. It's vital that the time to delivery be specified - resume writing is a tight time turn business. If they say it'll take two weeks for your draft, walk away.
4. Forms are necessary, but 20 pages is another exit sign.
Resume Writers - One Business That's Up in a Bad Economy, And You Thought Wall Street Was Unregulated...
Does anyone else get that slightly creepy feeling when you look at the sites of some of the folks who claim to be experts at creating resumes for candidates? I know there are some good ones out there, but every time I go to a cut and paste, lame web site and see someone claiming to be an expert...
