RESUME REALITY CHECK: Are Resumes Really Dead?

January 22, 2018

If you’re like many of my clients, you may have heard that you don’t really need a resume anymore—that resumes are dead!

So, why bother creating a resume at all?

Here’s the reason: Because resumes are only dead ON PAPER.

The resume itself is not. It just lives mostly ONLINE now.

So…how’s your resume looking these days?

Harnessing the Power of Helping

January 3, 2018

Here’s the bottom line: When you’re looking for work, you’re just looking for people you can HELP.

People hire other people to help them solve problems.

That’s why "Help Wanted" signs exist!

Sound obvious? Maybe, but job seekers rarely approach their search from this angle.

February 23, 2016

(Skilled Up Article)

Can MOOCs help companies recruit and retain employees?

This idea is gaining currency in corporate America, thanks to high-profile announcements from AT&T and Starbucks this summer.

Looking for Purple Squirrels? Try a 'MOOC'

December 20, 2015

(Guest post from The Staffing Stream)

If your recruiting team is like most today, you have countless job orders going unfilled. Why?

One reason is that more and more employers are looking for that perfect “Purple Squirrel” candidate — the one with the exact qualifications, education, salary expectations, and soft skills desired; and they’re not hiring until they find them.

The “MOOCs” solution
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are large online college classes available for little or no cost, and open to anyone interested worldwide. Courses are typically taught by star faculty from top-tier universities like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, CalTech, and UT Austin. Since the term was first coined five years ago, MOOC companies like Coursera, Udacity, and EdX have enrolled more than 5 million students in assorted IT, business, math, science, humanities and arts classes. As a result, these online courses have been disrupting academia and capturing headlines as the biggest innovation in education for this era.

So what does this mean for Staffing?
