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” [...]

Calling Unemployment

I won another unemployment hearing last week.  Thus, my 12-year streak of not losing a claim or a hearing is still intact.

Anyway, I started thinking about it.  This blog was kind of new when I wrote “Beating the Unemployment Maze – Part I” last August.  I’d encourage you to read it.

TPA’s 101 – Part II

In my previous post, TPA’s 101 – Part I, I discussed why you should hire a TPA to help you with your worker’s compensation plans.  But that’s only half the battle.  If you hire one or currently have one in place, you need to make sure they are doing their job.  Let me put it [...]

TPA’s 101 – Part I

I often get asked my position regarding TPA’s.  So I decided to have a short lesson on what to ask of your TPA and why you should consider using one.

First, let’s clarify what a TPA is.  They are third party administrators.  You could also be talking about a broker – if you’re in the insurance [...]
