How to Shake a Bokor — A Zombie Job Seeker’s Guide

Aug 29, 2010 | Comments

Zombie job seekers feed off of retweets of their online profiles and are slaves to bokors who promise magical coincidental instances of the right recruiter online at the perfect moment. Zombie job seekers are recognized by their docile nature, by their glassy empty eyes, and by the evident absence of will, memory, and emotion.

Farmville is Better Than Hate Spam

Jul 17, 2010 | Comments

My mom sent me this email today that made me want to puke. You may have seen this before. It was sent to her by a friend. It was forwarded several times and due to poor email etiquette it afforded me the opportunity to stand on a soapbox much like I do here, but to a very different audience - one that has never heard me or heard of me before.

Is Friday your favorite day? Do you wish time away to get somewhere more quickly? Don't do it, it's not coming back. Live your moments because each one gone is another one closer to the end. That's why I'm not such a fan of #FollowFriday.…

How to Turn Me On Not Off

Feb 28, 2010 | Comments

I remain amazed and awed at the quickly growing arsenal of digital tools and applications at our fingertips all for the cost of a machine and knowledge of a Wi-Fi zone. The day has past when marketing and advertising necessarily meant influencing consumers through professionally crafted campaigns and media buys, in addition to word of mouth.

Unfortunately, just being somewhat computer savvy doesn't mean you know what you're doing or that you will turn me on...…

Sep 20, 2009 | Comments

Career paths can be very windy roads. I have been connected via social networking to Steven Rothberg, President and Founder of College.Recruiter.com for sometime and I was intrigued how a Law School guy ends up with such an entrepreneurial spirit and the dream to have the leading information site for interns and new college graduates. …
