In the future, I will have, my own Recruitment Business, which will be found at RecruitCare.Ca. I have Ideas about how I could help out Candidates and also how I could help out Corporations, but I have not determined yet what the main focus of t...
Carolyn, I appreciate your comments. You speak from the heart and it is refreshing! Hope our paths cross again soon.
Can Bobble Head's rule the world? probably not, but they can make you laugh your way to the top. Help us think of a creative way to use this idea to raise money for charity.
Nice Thanks Oscar and Hassan for those great U words! I have another one for S - Supportive!
The trait of being supportive has really been exemplified to me by all memebers on this site, who share info and best practices with each other. But also...

Recruiters :)
I want to get my RecruitingBlog going. I realize that it will take some time to develop proper social media habbits, and actually set up all my RSS feeds and stuff. I tend to have a lot of things going on in my life both inside and outside of work, but I gotta make time for what is important to me, and I am super passionate about web 2.0. I dont think I can do a post every day, but am very inspired by the dilligence of some people like Rayanne Thorn, who do, so I am going to write a post once a… Continue

RecruitFest - Part Deux
So I had a really great time at RecruitFest! I knew it would be awesome. I thought I would have known what to expect, since I went to the Original RecruitFest, but I guess that’s the thing with unconferences, they are fluid, organic, and changing. Personally I love the unconference style of things. Probably because I don’t actually like rules all that much :P

Updated - Video use at MSFT
Today, in Susan Burns' Talent Talk Cafe, we were discussing the use of video in recruiting (advantages and disadvantages from both the candidate and the company's perspective).
Microsoft uses several blogs to attract, and share information with candidates, sometimes through video posts.
Here are some examples:

RECRUITFEST ROCKED!!
One week ago today, I was at the Grand Festival of Recruiting! I will never forget it, and want to share a few of my experiences from that day...
So Thursday night I was up late packing my things for a weekend away from home... I had planned to drive my car half way to Toronto and park it at a friends house, but I was running late that morning, and literally RAN to catch my train out of Burlington. I arrived at the InterContinental, still in my flip flops, with minutes to spare. I approached a… Continue

Vacation!
So I am back now from a 1 week vacation in BC. I have a lot of friends who live out there, and was able to do and see so many amazing things.
I started out with 4 days of yoga in the mountains, at a retreat on a ranch just outside of Prince George which is owned by my yoga centre. It was wonderful to be completely offline and surrounded by the beauty of untouched nature. The retreat was also kind of like a detox, since there was no alcohol, and all of the food was healthy. Actually all of the v… Continue
