Kelly McKinsey commented on Mike Rasmussen's blog post 'Effective Desk Management - A Little Bit of the Magic That Makes For Great Recruiting'"Thanks for sharing your secrets to success Mike. I like numbers 1 and 3. I think vision and planning time to eat are more important than anything else. Number 6 is the crux.

Kelly McKinsey posted a blog postUnemployment Contemplations

Kelly McKinsey posted a blog postBack in the saddle...
