Be Nice to a Recruiter Month

I’m sure it won’t hurt if we all get in on “Be Nice to a Recruiter Month”, you might even end up with a new job!

I have been reading Leaning Circuits and they have released their report on the state of eLearning at the end of 2004. A report that generated mixed reactions with me. While as the report states it almost looks like the number of organisations using eLearning are dropping, however I am not sure the we canContinue reading “eLearning trends”

Searching for jobs and resumes

I wrote earlier this week about Heather’s post on .jobs. There have been a couple of comments about searchability etc on jobs and resumes. I find it interesting that when I search on Google, Yahoo or MSN search I cannot find 90% of jobs, even ones from corporate sites!

They are advertising for new technicans via a sign they have placed out the front of the dealership. Why is this interesting? Well directly opposite them is twoContinue reading “Keep It Simple Stupid or KISS!”

Fantastic offer Jason! One person who has taken up Jason on his offer is Jeremy Wright who hasContinue reading “Recruiting blogs”

Unique resume

I found this from Scoble a very unique resume. This is a very cool way of showing off your skills.

Recruiter, candidate relationships
