I organize my blogroll on a quarterly basis. Writers come, writers go, and I think it’s important to keep a fresh list — if anything, it’s just for myself. You are important to me because you keep Punk Rock HR alive & thriving. If your blog isn’t listed, I might not be reading it.
So I’m toying with the idea of blowing up my blogroll and starting fresh for 2010.
In fact, let’s do it.
Do you write a career advice blog? A recruiting or HR blog? A general blog? Leave a comment with
- your blog’s name,
- the URL,
- and describe what you write about so I can categorize it properly.
If you don’t tell me about your blog or fail to promote it shamelessly, I might not link to it!
By the way, is there anyone doing anything new and interesting out there, career-related or not, that we should be reading? Let us know.

Hi Laurie,
I’d love to be included in your blogroll.
My blog is http://www.adifferentkindofwork.com. My experience as a coach (and previously as an HRD, and big four management consultant) working with both companies and individuals here in the UK is that many people are losing heart with work. My blogsite – and indeed my business – aims to help such people positively confront their dissatisfaction, and use work – whatever “work” ends up looking like for them – as a vehicle for profound personal development. I love it when clients get to a point of finding that work is a soulful, rewarding part of their lives.
At a bigger picture level, I think that the whole institution of work and the way it’s approached is now out of keeping with the needs of our modern, complex, society. That it’s time for a complete paradigm shift in the way we engage people around work. So through my blog I like to sometimes have a quirky little poke at the whole corporate system.
But the system is impersonal and slow to change, whereas individuals can and do change and will, one way or another, bring about a revolution in work. If only for themselves.
So, Laurie, that’s my passion. Now, over to you…!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Christine
@Laurie – thanks for the opportunity to shine and shill.
You should be reading my blog. It is the HumanRaceHorses blog.
http://thehumanracehorses.com
My blog has been in your blog roll since the beginning of time. Keep it there. I get a lot of traffic from your residual awesomeness!
My blog is mostly about business and human resources topics.
I have been told that I am thoughtful in my writing, and that when I write about something, it is obvious I have put some thought into it. (Trust me, that is not always the case!)
I do try to write about things that interest me. I try to present topics that I think will make a difference to the human resources profession if people pay attention to what I say. I try to do some quirky things from time to time, because they amuse me, if no one else.
Mostly I have treated my blog as a hobby, and as a conduit for building my personal on-line community. Recently, I have been considering the idea that this approach may be slightly off-base for what I want from the blog in the future, so you should see some new things coming soon.
Upcoming posts will include:
– a Saab story video feature about the impact of cold weather in Florida on the national economy
– Is my blog a business or a boondoggle?
– Now is the time to build a better business!
You should be reading me if you aren’t!
General Punk, reporting in!
MyDo you write a career advice blog? A recruiting or HR blog? A general blog?
I am Erica from You Should Only Know (http://youshouldonlyknow.com)
If I could figure out what it’s about, that would be awesome. For the most part I write about what’s on my mind, my witty and insightful commentary on important topics like gym showers. I work in marketing and I am pursuing a MA in I/O Psychology, so sometimes I go on about HR issues, trying to understand them. Or whining. Occasionally I offer a Yiddish lesson. I just wrote about how to fight my inner Internet Crazy and I am considering a new post trying to figure out where all the professional administrative assistants went.
mine is about books- for people that like really good books – it is a hobby blog- no advertising, not a business just sharing great reads reviewed read and discussed by my book club that has been together for 10+ years.
http://debbiejbrown.wordpress.com/
Deirdre Honner blogging at http://www.thehrmaven.com. I write about general HR work and wail against the immigration machine. Almost no one understands immigration so my lamentations go mostly ignored. But I write annoyingly about it anyway.
Sometimes I write book reviews for the nice people who send me free books. That’s pretty sweet unless I find out that I have to claim them as income. Then I will stop book reviews.
When not working or writing about HR, I try and stay as far away from it as possible. I love reading fiction – just read The Help – such an incredible book that I go knocking on stranger’s doors telling them to read it. Oh and I take a lot of pictures, mostly of @thedogsamson.
Hi Laurie! Thank you for giving bloggers this opportunity.
I author a blog called HR Bartender (www.hrbartender.com). I’ve always felt as a HR pro that people wanted me to be like their friendly neighborhood bartender…that person who listens and helps you with your everyday job. So HR Bartender is all about work. Oh and being a foodie, I like to pepper the convo with food/drink/travel info.
Hope you’ll join us at the bar…it’s always open!
Ms. Ruettimann,
Greetings, my name is Paul DeBettignies and for the past 4.5 years I have been writing the MN Headhunter blog. I write about, well, whatever is on my mind to include stuff on being a recruiter, working in Minneapolis, career advice, the occasional Gopher football post, rants (oh how I like a good rant) and the local business community.
I have done my share of speaking over the years and organize the group Minnesota Recruiters, hopefully you have hard of it.
I know I am one of those low class search firm guys that rarely receives blog link love or mentions from my HR colleagues but I hope that you may consider my site and give me shot to hang with the big kids.
You may recall that I was a part of your recent contest and am thinking you just may remember my well thought out and creative use of your (our) favorite word.
References to follow but for now please ask Mr. Scrubby what he thinks of me. I think I might have an in to you through him.
I wish you nothing but puppies, kittens, rainbows and flowers.
Oh and please do not hold it against me that I was not part of the parade on your Facebook profile or on Twitter to wish you a Happy Birthday because do I hope that on your day (as all days should be) you had a wonderful day. Happy Birthday.
Thank you for the consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Paul DeBettignies aka Minnesota Headhunter
Hi Laurie,
Check out the Job Board Doctor blog (http://www.jobboarddoctor.com/recent-posts/). I write about the business of job boards – from the eternal question “Are job boards dying?” to ‘fake’ job postings, and everything in between. I’ve found that recruiters of all persuasions read (and sometimes enjoy!) the blog. I think your readers would too. Please consider adding the blog to your list!
Jeff
Hi Laurie! I write a little blog called HR Minion, which while currently undergoing some “re-branding”, will still remain a blog about all things HR that is a little funny, full of geeky goodness, and entertains the occasional rant or two. Currently located at http://hrminion.blogspot.com I will be moving it over to it’s own site soon. Stay tuned! BTW, it would be great if you could also link to the Carnival of HR site, http://carnivalofhr.blogspot.com/ and the HR Happy Hour site, http://www.hrhappyhour.net/blog/. Thanks!
Happy Saturday!
So I write here http://www.myhellisotherpeople.com and the name of the blog says it all. I write under the name theHRD simply because I want to be able to write what I want about who I want and my lords and masters in the corporate world wouldn’t take kindly to their HR Director spouting some of the rubbish that I do.
I’m relatively new to the game having started in March 2009 and I write about fairly much anything that comes into my head in relation to work, the workplace and my life in general (not to forget nutella and penises). I try to keep grounded and real and avoid the self obsessed bullshit that pervades the HR profession. And of course, I’m british which makes me about as rare as rocking horse shit in this game.
I don’t have a business to sell, or customers to win, I don’t care what people think of me or whether they agree or disagree. So if I think you are talking crap I’ll tell you. And that, my friends, is that.
Hi Laurie, thanks for the opportunity.
My 7 month old blog Safer By Choice is meant to provide ideas to help safety professionals, including those in HR, that will help them increase safety awareness in and out of the workplace.
I also recently launched 20,000 Days and Counting where I consider days in my last 20,000 that provide me guidance for the next 20,000!
Thanks for the invitation to plug!
Hi Laurie,
LeaderChat (www.leaderchat.org) is one of three blogs from The Ken Blanchard Companies. This is our HR and leadership focused blog where we post ideas, thoughts, and resources for managers and leaders from an HR, OD, and training perspective. We’d love to be included in your blogroll if you think we’d be a good fit.
Ms. Awesomeness – you are so wonderful to allow people to shamelessly promote themselves on your site – I think I feel a blog coming on about that! It will be part of my “Reach Out and Touch” series.
I am really new to the blog scene -I started in November 2009. I blog about HR related stuff at http://www.joanginsberg.com; the name of the blog is HR UNIVERSITY. Since I am new, it is still kind of evolving, although I lean toward operational stuff, being a lawyer and all. This week I will be blogging about HR conferences and I also have an upcoming blog about the disconnect/divide between SHRM national and locals. I have been asked to do a regular series on copyright law for bloggers (copyright law being a hobby). I may do a monthly copyright post.
I blog about personal and random things at the companion blog called Just Joan: http://www.justjoan.joanginsberg.com. Upcoming posts include handicap parking and rubber spatulas.
Both HR University and Just Joan have links to each other.
I a considering doing a pet blog but my alpha dog, Ike (@IketheBC on Twitter), is very stoic and not very talkative so that is a struggle.
I never write about work, but leave me on your blogroll, please!
Hi Laurie,
I write two blogs:
At http://class-factotum.blogspot.com/, I write about my life, mostly about my wonderful CDO engineer used husband and the things he does that make me roll my eyes and about the things my cats do that make me laugh. Obviously, no job and no kids, or I would be writing about those. I had a job, but. Well. Anyway.
At my double secret probation blog, http://diaryofagolddigger.blogspot.com/, I write about my husband’s parents and the things they do that would make me cry (or commit murder BUT THAT WOULD BE WRONG) if I had to be around them more but I just steel myself and think, “This is material. This is material.” Yes. I have tried drugs. No. They don’t work. Hence, the double secret probation blog.
Hi Laurie!
I’m crazy-bananas about helping small business owners make their businesses work! I’m a small business coach with an HR background.
I encourage and inspire my clients, but I also tell it like it is and ask hard questions. Thanks for you having me on your blogroll the last few months. My website is http://www.sanerapdc.com.
Happy 2010!
Hi Laurie,
I am a keen reader of your musings here. My blog is (thank heavens!) not about HR, moreover I rarely manage to write more that two sentences at once – feel free to have a look:
http://jszuryn.blogspot.com/
Take care,
Joanna
Wow, all the comments so formal and professional. I’m going a different route.
http://www.pseudohr.com HR Blog, obviously, with touches of recruiting and leadership and the occasional thing I run across that makes me giggle.
I’m offering a bacon bribe to keep my blog on your blogroll.
Not sure this constitutes a blog, but it is RSS-enabled. Students at Cornell University just started the Cornell HR Review (http://cornellhrreview.org/), and it looks like a promising, grassroots HR-knowledge endeavor that invites contributions from all.
Hi Laurie, this is Sakib from ‘HR with Sakib Khan’ [ http://www.sakibkhan.com ]
I am a graduate research student from New Zealand. Currently I am involved with three research projects on areas of HR devolution, employee-union partnership and talent management. So as you can see, I am full of awesomeness and literally the next big thing!lol kidding.
In my blog I mostly write about topics that interest me – especially on strategic HR issues and current trends. It’s still early days for me in theblogoshpere and I think I am not doing a great job in promoting my blog. So it would be awesome if you kindly enlist me in your blogroll and help me spread my blog.
Cheers.
There are too many wussball careerists out there, struggling because their fear of failure and fear of the unknown keep them from getting to the heart of their problems. Fortunately, I am an expert with a (metaphorical) knife.
Dare to live your career story at http://www.failspectacularly.com
I’d love to be included with the other punks on your BlogRoll. My blog is at http://www.cincyrecruiter.com. While I took a blogging sabatical the last couple of months of 2009, expect to see me back soon writing about recruiting, hr, leadership and social media!
Laurie – ask and you shall receive
Blog – Corn On The Job
Url – http://www.CornOnTheJob.com
About – Job Search, Recruiting, HR (in that order)
Here are my top 4 reasons why my blog, Corn On The Job should be included:
4 – Strong voice in Generation Y – I feel COTJ is growing quickly and is one of the leading Gen Y HR/Job Search places.
3 – Corn Heads – I call the community that I’ve built with my readers the “Corn Heads”. It rules.
2 – Topics – Salary, Interviewing, Lessons from Hollywood (interviewing and job related movie clips), Resumes/Cover Letters, Employee Engagement, Office Hygiene, Employment News/Updates, and Networking are some topics
1 – We are both awesome.
Laurie –
Great Leadership is all about leadeship and leadership development: http://www.greatleadershipbydan.com/.
If you’re interested in improving your leadership skills, or helping others improve, then this is the place to go. It’s more of a “how to” collection of posts (over 450), but I’ll toss an opinion in there now and then.
PunkRock was one of the first HR blogs I started reading and still do.
Hi Laurie,
I am a speaker and consultant and blog at http://www.passiononpurposeblog.com Here is an overview of my blog, its purpose and content:
About Passion on Purpose:
A high engagement work culture. Passion. We know it when we see it. An energized organization. Authentic leadership. Open communication. A culture of consistency, connection, camaraderie and caring. Trust. Personal growth and development. Recognition and fun. Customer evangelism and bottom line business results. The kind of place where everyone wants to work. Where people come first…and profits follow.
Our premise is passion at work occurs most often when the right person, in the right job is supported through very intentional and strategic action by an organization. Where leadership is aligned with the mission, vision and values and employees are the ultimate extension of the brand.
Passion happens…on purpose.
And the intent behind this passion project will be to share thoughts, insights and related (most of the time) musings on things closely related to Passion on Purpose. They’ll include leadership and employee engagement, communication and culture, talent acquisition, brand and social media. And likely an occasional (or regular) foray into the impact on client acquisition, sales skill and strategy.
Thanks!
Ryan

Hi Laurie!
Career Solvers, http://www.careersolvers.com/blog is a career advice blog covering all aspects of job search and career management including resumes, networking,social media, interviewing, and salary negotiation.

Laurie my blog has been on your blog roll for some time.
http://teambuildingwny.blogspot.com
I originally found your blog (Team Building is for Suckers) while googleing around.
My blog is about team building, team development, leadership stuff and lots of fun photos.
I serve corporate and youth groups.
The focus of the blog is Making Teams Better by providing fun and relevent information into what team building is and team building is not.

http://www.nancykingsearch.com
When I write, usually once a week, it’s about things in business that make me go huh, or my opinion about things in general and plain funny entertaining things. This year, I’ll have more to talk about since I’m working with a start-up client in Cali to change how recruiting gets done – something I’ve wanted to do since 2006.
Just now logging on, Laurie, after my recovery from carving ice last night…
Do you have an Art Punk section? If so, please add me in!
http://bztat.com/
I write about my art–the process and the product; other artists that impress me; pet oriented themes; and general reflections about life that inspire my art. I plan to write more about the use of social media as a way to cope with the “business of art” as the year unfolds, as well.
Thx for the opportunity!
Hi Laurie, couldn’t find a link to Seth Godin on your blogroll
Hope you don’t mind me teasing just a little. Nice Blog, have a great 2010.
Someday you’ll let me debrief your MBTI results…
http://www.thembtiblog.com
I write about personality type…and sometimes about my dogs and cat.
Medium-time reader, slightly longer time blogger who would be honored to be added to your list.
Roll Away the Dew can be found at
http://deadhedge.blogspot.com/ and would go in the General Punk category.
It’s primarily a blog about the health care industry and MBA admissions consulting with occasional posts on climbing, knitting, and social media. With health care, I provide my insider view about reform and what really needs to be fixed in the US health care system. As a part-time MBA admission consultant, I explain the admissions process and what to realistically expect from the MBA experience.
I also make numerous Grateful Dead references who are punks in their own way.
Hey Laurie! I do freelance music marketing, but at the moment I’m visiting Japan for the first time. Blogging my way through the traveling and eating strange and delicious (and disgusting) foods!
http://jengelballs.blogspot.com/
this is relatively new. evolving, yet…ready for prime time more or less. i write about whatever inspires me, generally with an hr slant since i’ve been in hr for about forever. mostly career and employment advice with other random stuff and the occasional rant thrown in. sound familiar? right. well, it’s hard to have a point of view and nowhere to express it. gotta love the modern world. check it out.
Hi Laurie,
Would love to stay on your blogroll.
I write my HR blog over @ ‘The HR Store’.
I’m a Human Resources professional and having dabbled with start-ups and large organizations, I believe in having the answer to – What it takes to make Staffing, Employee Relations, HR work! Well, almost! Readers can send their queries to me at thehrstore@gmail.com
Thanks!
Hi Laurie,
Thanks for the opportunity to be included in your blogroll. I blog about the intersection of college recruiting and technology. Specifically, how companies seeking entry-level talent can effectively leverage the latest technology tools (blogs, video, chat, Facebook, Twitter, and social media) to successfully meet their recruiting needs.
My blog address is: http:www.mysensay.com/blog

I blog about all things life and HR, from both the organization’s perspective and from the job seeker’s point of view. Sometimes I am witty, sometimes I am arrogant, sometimes I am quirky, and sometimes I am downright insultive…all depends on what mood the blogosphere catches me on. Either way, what I write will always pertain to somebody at some point in their lives.
My hope is for HR organizations and job seekers to break out of their shell and to stop doing things the “typical” way. There is no such thing as status quo when it comes to searching for a job in this day and age, nor should companies inspire to do the same thing every day. They need to be innovative and creative, inspired and inspiring. That is what I hope to bring to my blog and to the world. I hope you enjoy!
In looking at my post, I noticed that my blog website did not post…so here it is again http://www.careeranarchist@blogspot.com. If you’re not reading it…you should be!
The Tao of the Original Tracy Tran (http://thispersonstinks.wordpress.com) the site is about me talking about HR and most importantly…my life. The blog is vastly overrated.
Hi, I practiced employment law for 11 years in Quebec and have worked as a managing editor/writer for the last 10 years for a publishing company located in Ontario called First Reference. We provide Canadian employment law and HR based blog posts to our readers and subscribers at http://blog.firstreference.com. We also have a subscriber based online publication that provides Canadian employment law and HR information for all Canadian jurisdictions at http://www.hrinfodesk.com. Thanks a bunch!
Hello…. Thanks for reaching out….

I write about life through the eyes of a 3rd party search/engineering recruiter firm owner, in 3 niche market/s.. Data Storage, Medical Device, Media/Broadcast.
Sincerely,
Brian-
Include me, include me! Simply Lisa at http://www.lisarosendahl.com and I write about leadership, growth and human resources, with a little bit of kid thrown in there too.
Thanks for giving us a chance to get on your blogroll Laurie!
I write a blog called The HR Intern over at http://thehrintern.wordpress.com. It’s an HR blog from a Gen Y/fresh out of school perspective. It combines general HR ideas with career advice and a look at social media in a generational context.
I’m on a career advice kick now because the job applications that are coming in right now are irritating me. I’m going to put together a resume and cover letter writing resource that’ll be going up soon.
If you ever have a chance to check out, I’m always up for more feedback – especially the sassy kind that I assume you’d be giving.
Can I made an addition of two people I enjoy reading but don’t seem to figure on the comments above?
Corporate Daycare at http://tree-in-a-forest.blogspot.com/
Henry Berry at http://henryberry.blogspot.com/
And Laurie…you always make me happy, I was just born with a face like this.
Laurie,
Why do I want in on the Punk blogroll action? Let me count the reasons:
1. you’re a neat freak like me
2. i rarely connect with greatness, and this is one way I can
3. i love bacon and cats, not necessarily in that order : )
4. i do try to write thoughtful HR posts that help people, or at least entertain once in awhile
5. i’m cute. well, maybe not cute, but i do have a nice smile.
Well, that’s all I’ve got. Please include http://hrringleader.com
xoxoxo
I write a general blog at spacedcowgirl.com. I usually post when something makes me mad related to fat hatred or misogyny or sometimes other random topics, or when something makes me happy about Michigan. I love Michigan and am not very objective on that point.
When I say “general” I definitely mean general–I don’t have a job so there is virtually nothing job-related on there. Nevertheless, I would love to be included.
Well this post made me think, “Maybe it’s time for an HRputer blog.” Thus, Laurie, when it sucks donkey balls, I’ll blame you for your encouragement.
Without further adieu, I give you:
The International Adventures of HRputer http://hrputer.blogspot.com/
I hope to be able to shed darkness on international assignments, their impact on family life, and some general wisdom of life. For instance, “When the tide is coming in, don’t stand on a deserted beach by yourself.” Sage.
Hi Laurie,
I never turn down these invitations to shamelessly promote.
My blog is Welcome To The Occupation.
URL: http://www.welcometotheoccupation.com
Here is what I had to say when asked what my blog was about:
“My blog is simple; I’m simple; and I’m promoting a simple way of life.
The Occupation is something that has most of us captured everyday. I say then make it for the better and feel Welcome.
People are complex; work is hard; so make it as simple as you can. This is my philosophy and the theme behind Welcome To The Occupation.”
To make the answer to the question more complicated, here is what Dawn Hrdlica at FOT said:
“Paul writes, like me, that the more simple and balanced the HR practice the more effective, far reaching and noticed it becomes. Don’t get me wrong, these posts aren’t simple or daft. They are funny, passionate and sometimes full of hate (gotta love the hate). And as a music/pop-culture lover, he brings the goods. But the through line is simplicity and balance. After a year of turbulence in HR and in the world—this feels right to me as an HR pro, and I have seen the “back to basics” approach benefit the employees/companies I serve.”
Thanks and best regards,
Paul Smith
Hi Laurie, Thank you for the opportunity
I write as ‘World Thru My Eyes’ at (http://hrvigilance.blogspot.com)
I am a young HR Professional, just begun my career into this life and times of being an HR person that fascinates me so much. This blog is a page where I share my observations and thought process that I see happening around from a micro to macro perspective. The concept behind “HR Vigilance” is creating awareness about the various things people indulge in and how an HR person can remain vigilant in these activities they face. It is largely my take on things that make me ruminate endlessly on the why and how’s.
S’up, Laurie.
Count me in for Shameless Self-Promotion. My output may not be what it once was (shit, ain’t we all getting old? To which Val Kilmer-as-Doc-Holiday would respond: “Not me. Ah’m in mah prime.”), but my New Year’s Resolution is to write more and belabor the obvious less (which, sadly, was, like, 78% of my posts). Always appreciate your encouragement, and of course, The Icepick also appreciates the blogroll mention, even as we inexplicably switch to the third person.
Proud to be a general punk,
The Icepick
Snap! I almost missed this. Frankly, I am thinking about blowing up my blog and starting over, but WordPress seems daunting. In the meantime, find me and my middle-aged musings at http://people-shark.blogspot.com/ . Also, there is a spam-bot leaving comments and I am going to find that bot exact interwebs justice, Chuck Norris style.
Okay…”yes” and “no”. It is sort of a new venture to me. This is my first attempt at blogging or publishing of any sort…and I am rolled it out 10 minutes ago! Heck, I don’t even write code. But, the premise is really more of the anti-HR perspective. BTW – I have already blogrolled PunkrockHR. Yours is really what made me decide that I should do it…pitter, patter, I know. Please have a visit…

I would love to be part of your blogroll. I just recently started reading your blog and love your irreverence and you ability to be so open. My blog “CEO without a company” http://womanceo.wordpress.com
is for job seekers and recruiters. Since I am currently in both roles, I speak to both parties. Going forward, it will be focusing more on the woman job seeker.
Have a great day,
Christine
Thanks for posting this – it’s a great opportunity to discover new blogs from very interesting people!
I see that you don’t have so many blogs about HR Technology, so i thought ours might fit pretty well in there. We are a software evaluation company, doing research, analysis but also software certification for all types of business software, including HR.
Here’s what we have so far on HR: http://blog.technologyevaluation.com/index.php?tag=hr. We’re working on a talent management evaluation center, so we’ll surely have news on that (hopefully soon!)
Thank you!
Thanks for asking!
I write a blog about young professionals working in the advertising and marketing industry and my love affair with social media. It’s mostly my stories of day to day life and often asking questions about the industry to make me grow as an individual and allow others to benefit from my inquiries.

Keep up the (punk) rocking and rolling! I love your blog!
Hi Laurie,
I’m writing about how nothing (substancial!) will change within HR until/unless there is a change in what people work on and the emergence of new ways of working…
Two ideas to consider…
1. Focusing on the ‘unstructured, intangible and typically unmeasured’ will lead to the greatest increase in profits and problem solving over the coming years.
2. Benefiting from working on the ‘unstructured’ will only be fully realised when it is possible to see this in the context of new technologies, processes and practices. In other words, the emergence of a new paradigm or theoretical approach.
I’ve added you to my blogroll…
Hi Laurie,
Elephants at Work shares tips and stories about mastering your career and boss. I have a number of guest writers to provide differing perspectives. I would welcome being apart of your blogroll…I added yours several months ago when I found it on a Top HR Blogroll list.
Hi Laurie,
Great idea to blow the blogroll up in 2010 and keep things fresh. Or as we’d say at Pinstripe, JFDI (Just F’n Do It; we even had bracelets made).
I’d like to shamelessly plug the three Pinstripe blogs:
(1) Recruitalicious (http://www.pinstripetalent.com/recruitalicious): our fresh take on recruiting, written by a team of sassy recruiters. You may remember the Recruitalicious music video from the Social Recruiting Summit, where we all dance around like idiots for a couple minutes. Yes, those are some of the same people that author the blog.
(2) RPOlosophy (http://www.pinstripetalent.com/RPOlosophy): Barry Diamond and Anne Bucher team up to tackle issues related to recruitment process outsourcing with a philosophical twist. Barry’s favorite thing to do is to compare RPO to seemingly unrelated objects, like traffic jams and Hebrew National hot dogs, and find parallels. It’s actually quite entertaining.
(3) HRpreneuring (http://www.pinstripetalent.com/HRpreneuring): This is CEO Sue Marks’ blog that brings together HR and entrepreneurship in one place. Sue mixes it up with written and video blogs, displaying her extensive knowledge of the industry.
Thanks!
Hi Laurie,
I think I tried to post this comment about seven times but my internet connection was flaky. If you get eight comments from me, I apologize.
Anyway.
MediaJobsDaily is punk…ish…right?
I run a blog called The Underground Job Network. With it, I try to accomplish two things:
- Give job seekers non-traditional routes to employment. This includes how to directly contact hiring managers or HR folks…I’m sure this endears me to some of your readers
- Offer advice & perspective on resume writing (how NOT to write a resume) and views from the other side of the desk.
Appreciate the opportunity to tell you about it. Keep up the great work!
