when people apply for a job lunchtime enquiries on 2008-11-30

Today every candidate is treated pretty much the same. Recruiters call that
being fair, but I call it lack of customer service and concern. We are all
individuals, and want our uniqueness to be understood and evaluated. Retailers
and product manufacturers understand this and provide hundreds of variations on
products to meet our individual needs. We will need to use technology to
communicate with candidates better and more frequently and at a deeper level
than we do now. We will have to tailor jobs to meet candidates’ qualifications
rather than to keep looking for the “right” person for our standardized job
profile. The whole matching process will become more dynamic and offer the
candidate more choices. Social media will become the “home base” of recruiting,
and the hallmark of successful recruiting organizations will be their ability to
use social media well.

Penelope's Guide to Blogging




A blog is a great way to figure out what you want to do with yourself because

And, this pretty much covers everyone, right? The super-focused and the
super-lost: You should all be blogging.

So here are some tips for helping you to get started, and some tips for
helping you to keep going, when blogging seems too hard. (And you know what?
Every single day it seems too hard for me. Writing is not easy for anyone,
especially the people who do it well.)

Easiest instructions for how to start a blog


1. Ignore
buzzwords.

RSS
,

SEO
,
AdSense
,
Technorati
,
Digg
. If you
have a buzzword buzzing in your head and you're not sure if it belongs on the
ignore list, assume it does.

2. Pick a topic — you can change it when you know what you're doing.
This
is like dating. Pick something that seems good, and if it isn't, try again.
Don't get hung up on topic. As in dating, you'll know when you've found one
that's the right fit. (…

How to use links in your blog


Blogging is a conversation, and it
is much more fun if you are part of it, instead of just talking at people. One
of the great pleasures of blogging is linking to someone who I don't think knows
that I read their blog. A link to someone is like saying, "I really like what
you're writing and in fact, I want to share it with everyone I know." (. . .

Blogging is essential for a good career

To escape the
entry-level grind, you can either pay your dues, working up a ladder forever, or
you can establish yourself as an expert in the world by launching a blog.
High-level jobs are for people who specialize, and hiring managers look for
