Viva Las Vegas

Admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 18:45:35 +0000

I was back in the office yesterday after attending the SHRM Annual Conference. If you didn’t make the trip to Las Vegas this year, you missed a great experience. The sessions were excellent, the vendors were great and the networking was incredible. And I think that makes three great host cities in a row (New Orleans, San Diego and Las Vegas).

As far as firsts, SHRM included a social media lounge this year for conference attendees to stop by, network and most importantly…tweet. With that being said, I hope to be more active on here in upcoming weeks! Have a great holiday everyone.

Resumes 101

In an Internet world full of lousy turnkey recruitment web sites, CareerBuilder continues to shine. They are now viewed by many HR Professionals as the preferred one-stop-shop (a position formally held by Monster).

Here’s an interesting article I came across today. It was published by MSN Careers yesterday.

It’s called “10 Things to Leave Off Your Resume” and in my opinion, you couldn’t pay for better advice. When I’ve taught resume writing classes in the past, these are issues that I bring up too. If you’re a job candidate, enjoy and make sure you read this article very closely.

MSN Careers featured a very interesting article today. It was called “10 Things That Will Get You Fired.”

Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor, was the author. You can view her blog here.

And you can view the list of 10 things here. To be honest, I think I’ve fired somebody at least once for every single item on Kate’s list. That’s not good.
