Berger Bites: Results Ranking in Live.com
Most search engine enthusiasts know that many resumes we find are quite dated. I see resumes regularly that have not been updated in five or six years. I am a big believer that the date of the last update is not necessarily a factor in deciding whether to try and reach a likely prospect. Many [...]

How to lose a perfectly good hire
The response is something a GeekTech Hiring Manager would take pride in and their recruiters groan in discomfort.
Check out this strange (but true) story…

Gee, I don’t know. Although this guy was (obviously) frustrated, he did come up with a creative solution to his problem. (Sort of) That has to count for something, yes?
