PRIVACY IN PUBLIC

Posted on August 4, 2010 at 12:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes

Living in a vibrant urban environment is chock full of sensory input every day. Lights, sirens, televisions in airports, all add to the constant din of people in perpetual motion. It's irrepressible, and can make this girl very grateful for her little personal sanctuary at the end of the day. I'm a fairly energetic gal and have a job that keeps me on the go, so I am out and about regularly. Like many urban dwellers, I rely heavily on public transportation and, often for business meetings, use… Continue

Being Graceful in Ungraceful Situations

Posted on March 21, 2010 at 12:37pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Recognition for a task well done can come in many forms ranging from a simple thank you to a raise in base salary or other form of monetary compensation such as a gift certificate. Assuming, of course, that the employer or boss has the intelligence and manners to make the acknowledgement, there is a certain maturity to accepting the acknowledgement.

TRAIL BLAZERS

Posted on March 15, 2010 at 10:02pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Blazing trails is a solitary task. Wikipedia defines a trailblazer as "a person who marks a trail through wilderness area.” They look beyond their own often less than ideal circumstances to break through. There is no one ahead to light the way and those behind might be afraid or doubtful in the wisdom of moving in the same direction. Forging a new path takes tools, creative thinking, vision, grit, timing, a little luck, and a lot of chutzpah.

Anyone who has the intestinal fortitude to… Continue

Alisa Tazioli commented on Chris Short's blog post 'The Death of the One-Page Resume?'

I wonder if one page resumes are a function of outdated technology that gets easily clogged (perhaps some are still relagated to in-box dependancy) and dare I say the attention span of the recruiter reading it. For the level of…

Alisa Tazioli commented on Matthew Murr's blog post 'Candidates! Be basic with your email address'

I think candidates also fail to recognize that an email alias like 'sexykitten' is also much more likely to get tagged as suspicious by a spam filter and not make it to their intended recipient. This kind of feedback should…

Alisa Tazioli commented on Ron Cottick's blog post 'Do you "KIS" with your candidate's resume?'

Speaking for at least part of the 'non-technical' recruiting world, chronological is by far the better and most preferred format. It shows career progression, at the very least, which is one thing I as a recruiter immediately want to…

Great post! I have always been of the belief that a great candidate can come from anywhere. It is silly to go looking for a pool or use a sourcing tool just because it is the next vogue thing. Look broadly, yes, and proactive outreach to passive…
