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. Don't worry... if the symptoms are recognized in time there is hope.…

I’m Hesitant to Follow Friday

Jun 11, 2010 | Comments

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.…

Do I look Like A Search Engine?

May 30, 2010 | Comments

Do you have an encyclopedia lodged in your brain and the superpower ability to spit out statistical data on command? Give me a break, I know you're just good at Google...…

FREE Job Board Model Rules

May 02, 2010 | Comments

I received a notification @barakhullman was following me. I'm a matchmaker so I like to check out new followers, put them in lists, check out their blogs, etc. I try to do this each morning with coffee. Usually it's manageable - sometimes it's not and I admit to being behind on deciding who to follow back. Anyway, I thought it odd a guy should have 10 tweets, be following 3178 and have 2927 followers... Instead of the temptation to hit the delete button I tested the "give the benefit of doubt" theory and decided to check him out. Who was he?…

Poor Customer Service is Bad Biz

May 01, 2010 | Comments

This is quick, I have to write a 90 minute presentation and meet and bring home the newest member of my family this weekend. I'm also waiting on a service call from the manufacturer to fix why certain USB devices do not work on my laptop. They have a LOT of making up to do with me. Sometimes it's not "who you know" it's what you know...... like this cool title I contrived for this post =)…

I'm here on a break between my two sessions speaking on social media for older job seekers. I had many requests for copies of the presentation in the first session so I am using my break to upload it. I hope you enjoy. …

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. Today you have all the tools you need to DIY and social media IS the new 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...…

HR Policy — Power Naps Rule

Oct 24, 2009 | Comments

You're at work and you begin to lose focus. The floor under your desk starts to look inviting. Sweet seductive sleep is calling your name. Your batteries need recharging. Your co-worker has a case of the crankies. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to suggest, "Hey Joe, why don't you go to the quiet room and take a power nap"? …

What Gruzzles You?

Oct 03, 2009 | Comments

Have you ever met someone so intriguing you wished you could secretly implant a spy cam in their brain to see what was going on like a covert mission? After a couple of months of conversation with a certain serial entrepreneur that's exactly what I wanted to do. I couldn't get a search warrant so I did the next best thing. I interviewed him.…

An Interview with Steven Rothberg

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. …
