When Will Businesses Start Hiring Again?
“When will businesses start hiring again?” is a question on the forefront of nearly everyone’s mind these days as, let’s face it, everyone’s life is deeply affected by the uncertainty surrounding the economy.
How do I get prospects to actually read my email?
Great question. And one I can really relate to. I recently returned from a rather long vacation. I fired up Outlook to find more than 7,000 new emails–and I had been checking in almost every day on my iPhone!
Change is inevitable except from a vending machine
The past decade was an incredible time of change, not all of it positive. I’m confident most of us would have chosen different changes or circumstances instead of two recessions, two wars, multiple natural disasters, and terrorist attacks across the globe.
Need Help with Social Media, but Just Don’t Have Time?
Social media can be a powerful tool for generating sales leads, reducing recruiting costs and improving relationships with clients, prospects and candidates. And it can also be completely overwhelming! LinkedIn. Facebook. Twitter. Blogging. Where do you start? And how can you find the time?
DOL Interprets Family and Medical Leave Act Regarding Parental Rights
On June 22, 2010, the US Department of Labor clarified the definition of a “son or daughter” under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The FMLA, which applies to companies who have more than 50 employees within a 75 mile radius allows eligible workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave during any 12 month period to care for a child, spouse, parent or for themselves.
Document Retention Policies are not Just for Large Companies
By Diane J. Geller, Partner, Gentry Locke Rakes & Moore, LLP
As we reach the beginning of a new year it is a perfect time to review document retention policies or, to the extent that you don’t have a formal document retention policy, the time to adopt one.
A Positive Word: Happiness
Like many of my friends and family, I feel battered by bad news. I had a terrific day yesterday: I solved a particularly puzzling problem at work, had several great conversations with clients, and was looking forward to a wonderful evening with my family when I hopped in my car just in time to catch the 6 pm news.
Selling During the Storm
There is a storm brewing lately. A dropping stock market, a slowdown in the economy, recent lay-offs, rising unemployment… How do you survive in “sales” during times like these? Apply the same basic selling principles that work during calm and sunny days!
Don’t Forget the FCRA!!!
As the economy shows signs of recovery many staffing firms either are required by certain clients or routinely utilize background checks as part of the hiring process, and engage the service of third parties, such as consumer reporting agencies, to gather background information, including criminal history reports.
Maximizing the Technology Advantage
In good times and bad…all of us in the staffing resources industry are working harder and faster, leveraging the steady momentum of our industry.
Guard Your Mind!
The way you think, every day, affects every part of your life.
The most irritating thing for me to hear is a sales person that speaks in obstacles or why something can’t be done. In fact, this is not a sales person. Great sales people talk and live in POSSIBLITIES! They hear “yes” instead of “no”. They’re optimistic about life and have a positive attitude.
So, develop your positive attitude!
