Using a Personal Profile as a Business Profile – It’s a big no-no OK?

Apr 15, 2012 | 2

Of all of the crucial elements and aspects of social media to take into consideration regarding best practices for successful networking and marketing, using a personal profile as a business is the one that makes me fall to my knees and gasp for air - every time I see it.

Veterans Day 2011 spurred not only the Federal Government to roll out employment initiatives for men and women in uniform, but three leaders in the the way we communicate and access information today, Google, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Do you have a pitch in your pocket?

Aug 13, 2011 |  

I want you to be so successful the exclamation point gets tired of being used. One tool to get you there is an elevator pitch, the :30 second audible business card you'll need to develop. Here's a tool to help you develop it. I'm against the exploitation of animals for human gain but I'm clapping like a circus seal - it's so cool.

I typed Craig N. Piso, Ph. D. to Present Increasing Employee Engagement and Satisfaction at .... and I was distracted by someone outside of my office calling out that we were down. I couldn't save, send, open, nada.. It was true. I lost what I was working on but it was OK, I would just go to lunch a little early, stay a little long and come back to normal to pick up where I had left off. Wrongo...

Aug 18, 2010 | 12

I entered HR via recruiting, dissatisfied with the quality of candidates put before me to interview and having to pick my poison hoping it worked out because I would be held largely accountable for turnover.
