Loyalty in business?

February 17th, 2010

I hooked this guy with a job and now he is not willing to hook me up with deals. These are common complaints I hear in daily life. The question is does your friend owe you for that favor. That is very dicey depending on the situation and the friendship. Do you compromise your friendship on giving favors that are borderline immoral or illegal? That is up to the individual. If the intended reciprocated favor is within the rules of the game, then fine. If not, then what do you do?

How to apply for a job

February 16th, 2010

The past few weeks have been rather frustrating. I am now wondering if jobseekers actually take their time to read the job descriptions and especially the how to apply section. It’s becoming obvious they don’t!

I have been fielding calls from clients that are really pissed because candidates have actually been hand-delivering resumes to their offices even though the application details specifically request applications to be sent by email. Wow, what other options are there beyond employers and recruiters dumping resumes sent the improper way.
