Daniel Jolly commented on Jessica Miller-Merrell's blog post 'Rebranding Transparency'

So controlled Transparency is being honest about the things you can't be completely transparent about. I work at Transparency IT and we have tried extremely hard to be completely open. We try, where legally possible, to let people know why they…

Jessica Miller-Merrell replied to Rayanne's discussion 'Anyone Else Tired of Social Media?'

Rayanne, I believe I was part of this live actual conversation, and I'm glad you choose to post about it. Looks like it was worthwhile to go out on the ledge and write about it. Sometimes I feel like I am having the same conversation with…

Rayanne commented on Jessica Miller-Merrell's blog post 'Finding MY place'

I figured it was advice... don't listen to that part - listen to your gut and you seem to be doing that. Let's get some one on one time next time!

Jessica Miller-Merrell replied to Rayanne's discussion 'Striving for Vincedom'

Rayanne, I like this. We need more Vinceses in the world. I like to think I am a good judge of character but that isn't always the case. There are other factors that lead us in the wrong direction--lack of time, trusting a brand over a person,…

Finding MY place

Posted on July 5, 2010 at 1:02am 3 Comments 0 Likes

From our first day on this earth we're working and learning about finding our place where we feel comfortable, most ourselves. While I feel comfortable in my own skin, I'm facing a new and old kind of advisory which I thought I had left behind.

While I'm a shrewd competitor, I'm also one who is a very social and positive person. No, I'm far from Pollyanna, but I do always… Continue

I've been doing a lot of thinking and reflecting this week around social media comments and conversations. I'm always surprised by what people actually do and say on the internet via blog comments. Sometimes they are hurtful, malicious, angry, and just plain ridiculous. Other comments are inspirational, encouraging, relevant, and fun. All internet activity is trackable, searchable, and… Continue

Hi and thanks for the welcome message. Sorry for the late response. I'm actually not in the recruiting industry as of yet. I am attempting to transition into it from the mortgage industry where I have worked for the last year and a half. My background is in sales, sales management, and HR. I look forward to conversing with you in the future.
