Alex Putman commented on Julia's blog post 'Create a Quick Response Bar Code for your Career Site'"Thanks Julia, I just learned about QR last week and wrapped up a post on it! Cool stuff with tons of applications. I have seen the google version in use. Additionally I tried qurify.com and found it easy to use for creation!"
Alex Putman commented on Alban's blog post 'Why are a majority of recruiters not able to succeed in their 2nd recruitment job?'"Great points and conversation. I believe recruiters should really evaluate what they desire out of this business both professionally and personally. Continuous learning and self evaluation are key to this business, it is more than just "putting…"

Recently, I was looking over some of my recruiting material from about 14+ years ago.

It has been way too long since my last post on RBC, I miss my village! Village? Let me explain.
This week my company kicked off our annual meeting, discussing 2009 successes and 2010+ plans.

I wrote this poem last night for my blog and wanted to share with all my friends on RecruitingBlogs, I hope you enjoy!
T’was the month of Christmas and all across the land,
clients and competitors were seeking the upper hand.
When all of the sudden to ACME Inc’s delight,
their big push for 2009 came into the light.
Recession, layoffs and hiring freezes they faced;
all were behind them, they picked up the pace.

Do you remember what you had for breakfast yesterday? What about lunch? These are little things and you may or may not remember the answers to these two questions.
Now, do you remember your first car? Your first date? The birth of your first child? These are big things and will have a lasting footprint on your life. How do we make ourselves so BIG, so memorable to people around us. Here are few ideas;
