Ok so let me first say that I am NOT a Twitter expert! In fact I was reluctant to join at all. I've been quoted saying "I don't care if so and so just had a friggin' piece of pizza!", true fact! This is the main reason why when it first came out I...
A teacher can be many things, people, moments in life and when a student is ready to seek knowledge or change they will set out to find an answer. When someone is alert and searching for the information they are more apt to recognize the lesson an...

During this holiday season, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued partnership. It is business associates like you who make my job a pleasure and contribute to our success.

Nicole Hackett said… - Hello Amanda,
I prefer Ecademy because it positions my company to be more of a global player in the education and training industry. I am able to bring international instructors on board who can give a different approach to learning.
Our organization, Virtual Education Connection, is huge on cultural diversity and teaching others how to communicate and do business with various cultures and countries. Because of the Free Trade agreement and other instruments put in place to help level the business playing field, it is imperative for any business owner to embrace this concept. This is what separates the highly successful businesses from those who barely stay afloat by only looking at consumers in their own backyard.
I am interested in learning what professional platforms truly work for you, why and any tips/tricks that you might have for your success.
Talk to you soon,
Nicole Hackett

Ok so let me first say that I am NOT a Twitter expert! In fact I was reluctant to join at all. I've been quoted saying "I don't care if so and so just had a friggin' piece of pizza!", true fact! This is the main reason why when it first came out I steered clear. After all as a Recruiter you are here to do a job, get it done and make placements. It doesn't matter if you are Corporate or Staffing the story is the same. Also the same is the fact that you have multiple layers of responsibilities and… Continue

So many networking groups...so little time!!
As Recruiters we are often bombarded by the latest and "greatest" networking groups, social discussion forums, etc etc! While some have proved to be invaluable, others have proven to be a wast of time. I would love to hear from the pool here on which ones you've found to be the greatest use of your time?
I will often join, try it out and later delete my profile simply because...let's face it! We're only human, and there are not enough hours in the day to contribute and keep current all of the s… Continue

Who needs a laugh....we get plenty!
We have to be serious so much of the time and I think some may lose sight of the fact that in Recruiting theres a laugh around every corner. I would love to hear you best Applicant or Interview story because I know we've all got some good ones.
To get the ball rolling here's a good one! A while back I was working on a Footwear Technician position. For those of you not in Fashion this is the person who takes a new line of footwear and makes sure it fits right, this is actually very technical and… Continue
