…hello! …wake up! what employer is going to want to hire a candidate that says that the reason he started looking for a job is that his severance is about to run out… on top of that, the candidate put off looking for a job for four months, and in the next two months his severance will end, and so he has decided to look for a job… THINK THIS: “How does what I say appear to a perspective employer?

Misplaced emphasis on power. You drive for show, putt for dough. Business success comes not from bravado but from execution on details. Graphically dyslexic image. Power? The oblique muscles contribute to control, not power as the image indicates. Leverage? Leverage does not come from the follow-through. The follow-through in a golf swing does contribute to a crucial business factor.you guessed it.follow-through.

Yesterday, my colleague Chris von Spiegelfeld shared some impressions of our recent event Web Sites Without Walls. I just encountered another interesting posting on PBS' MediaShift Labs from Amanda Hickman of Gotham Gazette Commenting on a presentation by DC Chief Technical Officer Vivek Kundra, Hickman writes that Washington DC is giving New York City a run for the money: While New York City busies itself posting PDFs of city agency documents within 10 days of their publication, the District of

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

It's great when in times like this you can actually find an optimist. According to the Orange County Register , things are getting worse at a slower rate! As the young people who work for me say on IM, "Woot!" I haven't figured out yet what that actually stands for, nor did I know several words in SNL's Sarah/Hilary skit. Anyway, the article resumes the media's insatiable demand for bad news by quoting a staffing company: "Kim Megonigal, president of Kimco Staffing Services in Irv

I loved this Bruce Kaplan cartoon in the latest issue of the New Yorker, but I wonder why he opted for "never page" instead of the now more ubiquitous facebook or IM. Recycled humor from years past? It might seem that the cartoon has no relevance to recruitment software, but the proliferation of ways to make contact makes for a complex software problem.

Seth Godin points out that over-the-top service just isn't so over the top anymore. He's got a point because for nurse staffing firms it's a necessity. Their patients don't stop needing care just because everyone else is sleeping. And when nursing recruiters need help with computers in the middle of the night, they require over-the-top service as well.

In tight times customers appreciate it when you can help them manage their own internal processes like purchase order handling for staffing services. In TempWorks Enterprise 12r4 we've delivered on a ton of client requests, including an easy to understand purchase order screen pictured above. I like the way the designer used the color to highlight the amount used and the font size for the balance amount.

Google executive Marissa Mayer says that Google has "solved search", an apparent borrowing of thought processes that led to Pickett's Charge, the Maginot Line, and the Ford Edsel. Search is no more solved by Google than communication was solved by the telegraph or transportation by the train. But more important to the recruiting industry, search is about many other things.

Visionary clients can bring life to disruptive technologies. Imagine the person that came up with this idea for touring Washington, DC, on Segways. If you've toured DC on foot, you know that the distances between sites can be long. Tourists - a cranky lot if there ever was one - whine or just stay away. Segways may be expensive and impractical for many of us, but for this visionary who had a business problem and the drive to solve it, Segway made for the perfect solution.

I just love visiting Atlanta, the city that gave my struggling airline software services company its first big contract back in 1982. Cornbread, ice tea and Brunswick stew at Dean's Barbecue in Jonesboro, the famed location of Gone With the Wind, all bring back great memories. On my last trip I got to witness customer service like you never see it anymore.

Some marketing mistakes are swimming pools. You dive in with every indication that you're getting into something good only to find out later that things just didn't pan out. Others are mud puddles. All the signs are there that you are doing something dumb, yet you do it it anyway. Well, trumpeting TempWorks' Windows Vista Certification this last year was a mud puddle.

A lot of what passes for HR blogging comes off as smarmy, but Bill Kutik's blog [actually, it's a column you can find at www.hreonline.com ] and especially his radio show have no such problem.

CopyBlogger. CopyBlogger stands out from all the marketing blogs I read because it teaches you how to write better. The better you write, the more you write. The more you write, the more press you get. It's that simple. Fistful of Talent. To succeed in staffing you need to live in the world of your adversary, which often is the HR manager. No blog bridges the gap between recruiter and HR better than Fistful.
