HR 2020 a look into the future

With us rapidly coming to the end of the first decade of the 21st century I thought it might be fun to look forward another 10 years to see what a day in the life of an HR manager might be like.(First I am not a fiction writer so bear with me. Second while 2020 might seem a long way away, in 2000 so did 2010 so I have not radically changed the overall work undertaken by HR. While this decision might upset some in the HR profession that things have not changed a lot I felt a conservative…See More

Michael Specht commented on Paul Jacobs's blog post 'Yesterday's 'Social Media: A Recruitment Revolution' event in Melbourne - participant and "lurker" takeaways / impressions'
Ok I might be biased but I thought the event was good ;-). Actually to be honest most people I have spoken too felt the event was of great value to them. But would really like to hear from Rec 2.0 members as well.

Career Planning…. New Years Resolutions

For those who read my blog, you'll know I've recently changed jobs, and I've been pretty slack in posting here in the last year.  Some will say "again?" others have been congratulatory, I have to say it has been an interesting experience.  I'm 37 years old and I'm into my 5th professional job (not counting the moss farming, kitchen hand and service station attendant during University and high school).  Being the new boy again, facing those nerves of the unknown, will they like me? will I…

If I could turn back time...... or, re-create history....

Conjures up images of Cher and that song - that charted at number 1 in Australia and Norway, number 3 in the United States and number 6 in the United Kingdom. 

And that music video set on the USS Missouri with Cher straddling a cannon, and wearing a fishnet body stocking…. But that’s not what I want to talk about…

 

I was representing a candidate to the market last week.  A candidate that I thought was very strong… You know the type: a walking…
