Hiring managers and recruiters are continually developing new ways to save time, reduce manual effort, and identify the best possible candidates for each open role. One outcome of this shift is that hiring managers are relying to an ever-greater extent on personality assessment tests.

One of the words I’m trying to banish from my vocabulary is “easy.” Easy means something different to everyone. What’s easy to you could be difficult to me and vice versa. Easy implies “no-brainer” and that’s not always the case. Especially when it comes to describing technology. That’s why – when it comes to technology – I like to think of things as being intuitive (versus easy).

LinkedIn is a fabulous resource, but Google+ can be used to supplement a job seeker’s strategy and open new doors that could be challenging to open when relying exclusively on the power of LinkedIn.

This summer, I had the opportunity to watch my 11-year old son play in six tournaments with the All Star team he was named to back in May. In addition to new friendships and great memories my son made through this experience, I am hopeful he also began to understand what it takes to be a strong leader who can motivate and inspire others to act in a way that earns the respect of their teammates (colleagues), spectators (clients) and opponents (competitors) – in good times and in bad.

There’s nothing worse than sitting in traffic or squeezing onto a crowded subway. But for many workers, it’s the way they both start and end their day. When we think about the issues that most affect employee happiness and turnover, we often overlook a major factor that actually takes place outside the office: the quality and length of an employee’s commute.

We’ve all worked for a manager who frequently says the wrong thing at the wrong time, killing your motivation for a project or even for your entire job. How can you avoid being that manager?

In today’s technology driven world that means individuals have to consider their activities on social media as part of their brand.
