Karen Swim commented on Helen Rosen's blog post '"I KNOW SOMEONE . . .'

Karen Swim commented on Brian Pho's blog post 'How a single tweet can damage a company's reputation...'

Karen Swim commented on Ron Cottick's blog post 'Do you "KIS" with your candidate's resume?'
Ron, great post and as someone who writes resumes for candidates I think the take away here is clear - be honest, be clear and know your audience. I actually consult with my clients, look at the jobs/companies of interest and drill down to make sure…

Paying the Bills, Feeding the Soul
Posted on February 23, 2008 at 3:08pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
As I scrolled through the endless emails that accumulated overnight, one title caught my eye “Career Exploration: Paying the Bills and Feeding the Soul.”

Kevin Vaughn said… - Hi, my name is Kevin and I am the operations manager for a healthcare recruiting firm in Los Angeles, CA. I’m reaching out to you because you indicated on your profile that you were in healthcare staffing and possibly open to doing some splits. We have a lot of open job orders and offer a 50/50 fee split. Would you be open to discussing ways we could collaborate from time to time?

I've missed your wit. Sorry I haven't been around much. I was hibernating (and you all wondered where bikers go in the winter).
Talk to you soon.
