I certainly enjoyed my visit to London to attend the TRU London conference. As someone who has a background and a love of culture and anthropology (my undergrad is in Anthro.), I love to soak up the people, the places, the culture, and nuisances of wherever I am traveling at the moment.

For the most of us, the end of the year signifies an opportunity to think, reflect, and remember the life lessons, events, and topics that demanded our attention over the last 12 months. And professionals within the Human Resource and Recruiting industry are no exception. I think that I can speak for everyone that [...]

Not too long ago I was inspired to create a directory of HR Bloggers. Below is the most current list of current Human Resources or HR Bloggers. This process has been amazing! What I did not anticipate is the number of great new people I have met and HR resources I have learned about during [...]

The recession in the UK has understandably made the HR job-seeker’s endeavour significantly more difficult than in times of plenty, but the current challenge appears to be even greater as a result of certain dubious and shoddy practices within the recruitment industry. The shop-window for HR jobs in the UK largely consists of either printed media [...]

Like many of my fellow HR professionals this week, I have been busy reading all the fantastic blog posts related to the Human Resources (un)conference November 6-8th, 2009 in Louisville, KY.
