WATCH THIS: Jerry McGuire – Help Me Help You Clip We’ve all seen the movie Jerry McGuire. It’s a classic.. Right up there with E.T. (Extra Terrestrial, not ExactTarget), in my opinion. This one-minute segment of the movie couldn’t be more significant of what the day in the life of a recruiter looks like. As a […]
So it feels like it has been forever since we last posted here….and frankly that is not too far from the truth. Rather than try and explain why we have been neglectful, it is more my style to simply jump back on the (proverbial) horse and get to pontificating. So without further ado, let’s go… […]
As I sit at my desk listening to the activity surrounding me-calls to clients and candidates, talk about the Holiday and Christmas Season, jokes at each other’s expense, and congratulations for a multitude of things-I am amazed at what a few people of like mindedness are able to do.

As the holiday season is approaching, we trend to go into “family” mode-meaning you start thinking about or planning your family trips. In my case, flying my kids in from Hawaii has been something I have been looking forward to for a while. Why in the world would they want to leave the hot weather, […]
So I have this problem. It is something that has haunted me for quite awhile, and I am not sure that there is a cure for it. Some days, it is almost too much to bear, and causes me to go home weary and ready to simply sleep and hope the next day is better. […]

A few days ago, a very good friend of mine posted on FaceBook that “ …the water from the cooler at his new job was better…that it is the little things that make a difference…”. I thought it was kinda funny/quaint, but not much more at the time. Yesterday, I returned home after an incredibly […]
